Mass Psychosis and the Conservative Mind:

[Jaskalas]

You conveniently ignore the science that shows liberals are genetically defective and are the ones who are more susceptible to cheat on their spouses, become addicts, and are generally maladjusted.

Perhaps 'liberals' are the intelligent ones smart enough to latch onto these subgroups and bend them to their will - through dependence. So while they identify as 'liberal' they are most certainly not the brains behind the organization - merely a consequence of it.

Like saying the Confederacy was more diverse than the Union, cause it had blacks. Well slaves don't count. You should consider that here for the 'maladjusted'.

Hmmm...interesting conspiracy theory. Have to look into it, but at first sight it appears to be untrue. Would be awesome if it is true, though - that would be something right out of a sci-fi book!

EDIT: It would also explain why no research is being done into fixing the broken genetics of people like Moonbeam.

I think I finally get the point you're trying to make, Moonie.

It only took a few years of these threads to sink in. Normally I'd read these threads and think to myself, "Liberals can get just as riled up as conservatives," but now I realize that, though that is indeed the case, the things liberals get riled up about actually happen. I.e. new foreign wars, protesting of policies helping only a few elite, etc. The conservative fear arises from things that are perceived to be a threat: socialism, xenophobia, etc.

In light of this realization, I would say, on average, conservatives are crazy.

Thank you.

Fear mongering works. The trick is finding something else to make people afraid of, when the ones in play lose potency.

Fear mongering works for conservatives because conservatives have brains that respond more to fear than liberals do. The fear center of the brain is larger in conservatives and the part of the brain that suppresses fear from interfering in rational thinking is enlarged in liberals. This is what brain scans show about folk who self report and conservative and liberal. And because fear is unpleasant conservatives will not deal with what makes them afraid, they prefer denial and avoidance thinking. They are cowardly in their thinking.

And if you are not so wired yourself, it is very easy to see it. This is why conservatives act like injured wild animals. Truth and fear are the same thing. The three monkeys that see hear and speak no evil are conservatives.

Moonbeam has special trolling priveleges that the rest of us don't get. Hell even Dave gets banned from time to time.

If it were up to you what length of ban would you think is appropriate for my crimes as you see them?

Perhaps the 'liberal' mind has a chemical imbalance akin to being stoned all the time. Though they have no issue perceiving conservatives as a threat, they appear oblivious to all else.

Socialism is dependence, opposite of independence. America was founded on independent liberty and self determination. We seek to guard those principles and question why you do not share our esteem for them. What you've got with dependence is a conflagration of the roles of government and business. You risk the wolf guarding the hen house, when a clear separation should be kept.

Speaking of clear separations, how about mixing savings banks and investment firms? Would it be a large conservative fear center telling you to avoid doing that again, or the housing crash? This is my example of a clear need of separation for one thing, defined not by ignorance but by a hard lesson learned.

Just as it is there, it can be logic and reason telling you to regulate dangerous things. Just because you either do not share, understand or value our principles does not justify dishonest smear campaigns to deride our stances as nothing more than fear mongering.

Fear mongering works best when the economy is down and people look for a scapegoat,

that's why the right had such a hard time trying to bring down Clinton during his second term and got lucky with the stained dress, but ended up tarnishing his reputation at best.

These are your fantasies and opinions totally lacking any scientific data to back them up. I stated that many many conservatives are insane and that curing them is wildly improbable given what psychiatry has to say on the matter. You claim this is fear mongering? Are folk who believe that Obama is a Muslim and all the other things I previously listed sane?

Please answer the question. Are conservatives insane as I defined and is it dangerous? Is pointing our that danger fear mongering? The insane will refuse to question. The deflect as you just did.

I love it when Moonie constantly reminds conservatives of what horribly defective human beings they are. He just can't knock that strawman down often enough! Wheee!

Anyway, tolerance of diverse thoughts and opinions doesn't seem to be a strong suit...but somehow I've got to think he means well. This iteration of Moonie is much better than the angry Moonie we had about a year ago. However, I liked the old Moonie of several years ago best...he could write with amazing poetic imagery where it was actually a joy to read his posts....casting pearls before swine like me.

You're still a swine but now an uncomfortable one. Isn't that progress?

You need help moonie . A movie might help . Try Keeper of the Flame 1943 movie about Robert Forrest. An American Hero who is suddenly killed and the reporter follows up the story . Turns out he is no hero or an american .

Science has shown that liberals have a broken gene, which causes them to have a higher chance of cheating on their spouse, being addicted to drugs and/or gambling, and being generally mal-adjusted people.

This is so true go into any black ghetto or white or yellow and odds are 95% they are demons

The evidence before the court is incontrovertible.
There's no need for the jury to retire.
In all my years of judging I have never heard before,
Of someone more deserving of the full penalty of the law.
The way you made them suffer,
Your exquisite wife and mother,
Fills me with the urge to defecate!
Since, my friend, you have revealed your deepest fear,
I sentence you to be exposed before your peers.
Tear down the wall!

Moonie the mass psychosis you are so infatuated about (this is not your first thread eluding to some mental disability of republicans) doesn't apply to just one side. The true mass psychosis is blind partisan hacks from both sides of the isle. And you are hardly exempt.

"Aisle not "isle".


Poor sperring is an index to mental demangement.

I am screwed if thats judgement

In part, but never mind that. We know that you can't reason with the insane. The important thing is how my words affect you.

Is the belief that Obama is a Muslim or a socialist, insane? Is the refutation of global warming and evolution based on reason?

Forget all the other bull shit you're telling yourself and think. And if you think people who think like that are insane what do you think should be done.

Surely you can see that insanity is dangerous. We often put delusional people away when they act out, no? What do we do with mass psychosis?

Just because a person can reason and see the danger that madness can present doesn't mean that person is on edge, it just means that thoughts that courageous thinking people can think can create disturbance when transfered over to sleepier minds.

The problem with all this is that biased people are trying to diagnose those with an opposing view as insane. That is a bad place to start.

You are saying that Republicans who believe Obama is a Muslim, a socialist, a Kenyan are not insane, that he is all those things? If you are then you are insane. Every non partisan person in the world you ask about this with real information will disagree. This madness is confine to one party one group of delusional that live in an altered reality.

 

[cybrsage]

Ah, another Moonbeam delusion. He thinks anyone who is wrong wrt Obama items is insane. I am telling you guys, we need the genetic cure for him sooner than later!

Lot's of people over many many years have tried to convince the world that their particular point of view was the "right" way to think. It's been going on for century's. Be it religion or politics, it always seems to end with a whole bunch of people dying.

 

[D-Man]

It would not surprise me in the least if I saw a post on these forums that Moonbeam if a fit of utter insanity tried committing suicide by jumping out his parents basement window only to find 2 men with a straight jacket to take him away. Though drugged and strapped in a chair the day rooms in most mental institutions do have sunlight and fresh air in the summer months. I had some hope for him in the past but I doubt there is really a cure for his illness.
I am a conservative

Ignorance is not insanity.

 

[Matt1970]

Poor Moonie. You are taking your beating quite well.

 

[Moonbeam]

You're saying that the thinking Obama is a Muslim, a Kenyan, a socialist is ignorance and not insanity? I'd call that a deeply ignorant belief. These beliefs, as I said, are isolated to a single party in the United States. If it were ignorance, we would see such belief all over the world and among all parties. Of course I suppose you COULD argue that the Republican party magnetically attracts the dumbest people on Earth.
