I Always Knew There Was Something Very Wrong With Conservafools


Barry X. Kuhle Ph.D.
Psychology Today
In Creationism as a Mental Illness, Robert Rowland Smith argues that creationists exhibit several signs of mental illness including denial, psychosis, and inability to grasp irony.
Source:
The specter of mental illness does indeed loom large over creationists, but they are not alone. Signs of psychopathology can also be seen among their political bedfellows, conservative politicians, especially when you consider a wide range of illness indicators. In his award-winning 2005 book, Dr. James Whitney Hicks discusses 50 signs of mental illness including denial, delusion, hallucination, disordered thinking, anger, anti-social behavior, sexual preoccupation, grandiosity, general oddness, and paranoia. Now I'm no clinician, but in my (admittedly biasedbrown) eyes it seems that prominent Republicans have evidenced each of these ten telltale signs of mental illness over the past year:
2) Delusion: climate is not changing
6) Anti-social Behaviortoward womengays, minorities, anyone without an umbilical cord or trust fund
7) Sexual Preoccupation: a fervent compulsion to control when we can mate, with whom we can mate, and precisely how we are allowed to mate (which I lampoon in Why Do Politicians Want to Police Dick and Jane's Private Parts?)
9) General Oddness: Ron Paul
Even (the not necessarily dumb) Pope Francis appears to recognize that “it is a serious illness, this of ideological [conservative] Christians. It is an illness, but it is not new, eh?” 
Regrettably, the Republican who least exhibits anti-science stances is the only one who (tongue-in-cheek) acknowledges his mental illness:

Until Jon Huntsman becomes the sane voice of his insane party, maybe "Republican Syndrome" should be added to the DSM-V so that crazy conservative pols can receive the mental health treatment they need. I bet "Obamacare" would even cover it.

  1. Too bad we Americans don't have courageous public servants like they do in France!

    French mayor is hilariously honest about why he might resign after his town voted for Marine Le Pen

    And you thought American politics were the wild west. Meet Daniel Delomez, the mayor of the town of Annezin in northern France. Delomez is so mad that 38 percent of his local electorate voted for far-right candidate Marine Le Pen in Sunday's presidential election that he says he might step down, he told French publication L'Avenir de l'Artois.

    "It is catastrophic," Delomez said. "It's possible that I will step down as I do not want to dedicate my life to assholes."

    1. LOL. I love that guy! That kind of backbone is lacking in most of our elected critters, sadly. With all of the other candidates telling their voters to vote against Le Pen, I don't believe she'll get elected. Still, it's scary that she's actually doing better than her insane father did when he ran on the same far right hate-everything platform. The last time the far right got a toehold in Europe, we ended up with Hitler and Mussolini, et al. Let's hope sanity reappears across the land before something like that happens again.

  2. So this is the new blog of BULL Shit?
    It skinks almost as much as his old one did.
    I wonder how long it will take to run him off again as we did the last time.
    Or if it's even worth it?

    1. Really? I find her to be one of the smartest, most likable people on the blogs. Sadly, your obsession comes across as nothing more than jealousy. You have my pity. Surely, you are a lonely, bitter old person who needs friends. Try being - oh I don't know - HUMAN for a change. You might find you're no longer so alone . . . or bitter.

  4. And let me remind you that Shaw and RN are Ass- kissing buddies.

    2. What have we told you about doing things you're not good at, Dervish Truths? Thinking is several years too advanced for you and you know it. Now, stick to being a human speed bump and wait to evolve like a good little troll......

  6. Is Blueball still gloating over Hillary's resounding victory in Nov.? Blueball put all his efforts into working for Clintons Florida victory.

    Face the facts Blueball the dems are now a coastal party, America has rejected your socialist policies. You donkey's have lost the WH,the Senate,the House,31 Governorships,over 900 State House offices and as soon a Bader Ginsberg dies the Supreme Court. Wow, talk about getting your ass kicked.

    1. Well Rusty, it's nice to see you still trying to be relevant. It's a fail, but do keep trying. Eventually, something out of that sad old mouth of yours might actually make sense and stick! I'm rooting for you, Skippy.
      PS - Hillary won the popular vote by nearly 3 million. You haven't 'won' anything. HAHAHAHA
