Conservative ‘Doctor’ says: Wanting equality is a mental illness!

This is pretty funny, or pretty dismal, depending on how you look at it. Somebody called Lyle Rossiter, who some conservatives are calling a ‘top psychiatrist’ and an ‘eminent doctor’, that ‘Liberals are clinically mad’. If you follow the link you’ll see he’s written a book about it, subtitled ‘The psychological causes of political madness.’ Here’s a quote from Rossiter:

‘A political leader who understands human nature will not ignore individual differences in talent, drive, personal appeal and work ethic, and then try to impose economic and social equality on the population – as liberals do. And a legislator who understands human nature will not create an environment of rules which over-regulates and over-taxes the nation’s citizens, corrupts their character and reduces them to wards of the state – as liberals do.’

Riiight… It’s LIBERALS who ignore the individual! Silly me. I thought denying women rights over their own bodies and equal pay and arguing that hetero-marriage is the only right choice for everyone was more deindividualising than fighting for those freedoms, but I stand corrected.
Of course, the guys over at Conservapedia are loving it. I would highly recommend looking at it if you want to laugh and cry at the same time at the idiocy of its authors, who’ve answered to Wikipedia, which they believe is liberal-biased. I can’t help thinking they’re doing their cause more harm than good. What depresses me most is it isn’t even a hoax.
