No. Liberalism is very good. It is neoliberalism which is the disorder. It is a mixture of failed Stalinist rhetoric along with ideological chauvinism and the ability to hold two opposite beliefs in tandem. That is the true mental disorder, although they probably consider it a strength.

It's a form of delusional thinking, perhaps insanity. The premise that government and the elite individuals elected to these positions can know what is best for the rest of us is not very rational. The thought that the constitution is a "living document" also stretches reality a bit. And the final clue that insanity may play a role is the lack of any accountability for the programs they impose on the citizenry. For instance, if establishing a government mandated minimum wage will rid us of poverty, why then do we still have it? The first minimum wage was passed in 1938. It obviously doesn't work. but they keep doing it! Go figure.

you can see this disorder most at work in conservatives. They have a degree of sexual arousal for authoritarianism and like to mark it with patriotism, traditionality, godliness, familily values to hide their deep repressed lies, ie their ***** for abuse.
The only true liberal is one able to allow everyone everything, and in my view that one liberal is God,aka greatest original density or deity whichever is prefered. Conservatives become liberal when they get reality checked as in abused by their govt then they wail.

No, I believe it is just as bad as cancer. It is also very contagious and can do great harm to this country. I think it will be our next battle after we get out of Iraq. There will be a war on the ousting out liberalism from America. It will be a long hard fought battle, but in the end the conservatives should be able to pull this off!!!!

Yes. The symptoms of this horrible mental illness include a slavish following of reality, an excessively high level of common sense, and a obnoxious propensity to use logic.

Yes.It destroys memory's and replaces them with left wing propaganda(Bush lied! He was the only one telling us Saddam had WMD's)It also sets up a modification in the brain which turns rational thought into the words"Bush's fault"played non stop through the liberals brain.

Only if it makes a person passive to the point of impotence, this of course applies to ANY thinking not just liberalism

No. Is neo-conservatism a mental disorder?

Yes. The cure is not believing everything you read/hear in the media. (aka getting an education and thinking on your own)
