Why are cons so paranoid?

Question

Why do they think there's a liberal behind everything? Why do they label anything that doesn't come from the mouth of a right-wing pundit, liberal?

It has come to the point that they won't believe anything from the mainstream "liberal media", "activist judges", the "revisionist historians", economists, professors, teachers, academia, private polling companies, scientists, and even government organizations.

I cite the Census, Bureau of Economic Analyses, Treasury Department, Department of Labor, and even White House on historical economic data, and they tell me they don't believe anything from the government.

I cite all the well established scientific organizations (each representing tens of thousands of scientists) like the American Chemical Society, American Geological Society, American Meteorological Assocation, etc, etc, and they tell me that they are all either socialists who want capitalism to fail or are just looking for the global warming money.

Thegreat,

People like David Duke are the ones denying the holocaust ever happened. Last I heard he was a Republican, ran as one in 1989, and almost got elected a couple of times after that, also as a Republican. Most jews vote Democrat, FACT!

Answer 1

If it doesnt fit their misguided beliefs it is liberally biased.

Answer 2

The conservatives are paranoid because they believe everybody else is plotting against them. This is understandable, if you accept that people usually expect the behaviour of others to reflect their own. Since the conservatives have an agenda, and actively plot to undermine the work of their imagined enemies, they expect the same behaviour from those enemies themselves. This is equally true for the extreme left, as well.

It is called projection, and you learn all about it in first year psychology. Neurotics do it all the time.

Another behavioural curiosity it how the harshest and most vituperative bullies can become so sensitive when some of their garbage is returned with interest. I think of Rush Limbaugh, Anne Coulter, Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. This selective sensitivity is another sign of serious issues that could be addressed by medication.

Added to the belief demonstrated best by the Bush Administration that all enemies must be destroyed preemptively, as in the Valerie Plame outing, and that the ability to perform an act justifies the act itself, and you have an indication that the entire body politic is completely neurotic, if not sociopathic, and headed for a breakdown.

As for global warming or WMDs, remember that denial is a major part of mental illness.

Well, lets start with the media. The Sunday news shows are hosted by a former Clinton advisor (Stephonopolous), and a staffer of Democratic Senator Moynahan (Russert). And Russert is the least biased.

As far as the judges, let's just ask ourselves when the Supreme Court feels that they should be writing laws, you have an activist judge. When you feel judges start trying to tell us what the men who wrote the Constituition would have wanted, you have activist judges.

Do you know an overwhelming number of public univerisity professors are registered Democrats/Socialists? Read Bernard Goldberg's bood "The ProFessors"

Answer 4

Hey just because conservatives may be paranoid that doesn't mean liberals (and orhte terrorist) aren't out to get them.

And one of the reasons they are paranoid is they know they can't trust liberals. In the 1970's liberals were trying to convince everyone we were headed into an ice age. Now they same folks are telling us we're going to melt the polar caps.

They are saying we can't use more than one sheet of toilet paper to wipe our butts with. What will they try and convince us of next?

Why should conservatives believe anything from government liberals have been telling us for four or five decades government was the solution to everything. And they haven't seen government cure anything.

Liberals have tried to redefine everything! They don't believe in anything and then you call us paranoid?

Answer 5

You are very correct in your perception. Both of the major political parties are very "dogmatic" and don't like their "boat to be rocked". When the evolution of humanity progresses these "dogmatic" views attempt to stifle progressive response. I give you the historical analogies of the "Inquisition and resulting "Dark Ages" that transpired as a result of right wing indulgence in the suppression of thought. Being both stale and corrupt these entities mislead the populace at every opportunity to forward their own power and money agendas.

Answer 6

So, you are telling me everything the Right does should be viewed by the Left with a conspiracy theory mentality?

Watch CNN tonight... At 7 pm... The Glenn Beck Show. He is going to have a whole show on Global Warming and how thousands of well informed have a different view of Gore.

Watch it..... be informed from both sides of the fence.

Answer 7

Why do you waste time trying to change the minds of Trolls? Even they don't believe most of their own diatribes; they just like the conflict.

Answer 8

So government behind 9/11, holocaust never happened, missile hitting pentagon, and other Liberal conspiracy theories are not prime examples of paranoia?

Answer 9

How can conservatives seem paranoid while there are 9/11 truthers out there? I'd've thought they had the corner on the paranoia market.

Answer 10

Paranoia runs deep.
