Leftists' mass selective reality:

Like... doesn't even exist in liberal media circus circles

Then we have exhibits B and C, WD and your daddy felchgoblin

quote:

We have heard liberalism (aka Democrat-ism) described as a mental illness. A little research seems to prove this observation. You need not be a goateed psychiatrist with a German accent to conclude liberals/Democrats are anti-social misfits. See for yourself; see how well liberalism/Democrat-ism fits into the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) criteria for identifying the mentally maladjusted.

While we usually think of “Psychopaths” as the occasional notorious serial killers, they are more common than we imagine. Nevertheless, the unfortunate over use of the term “psychopath” in popular culture has led people to believe they only exist in movies. This isn’t true. Statistics tell us up to 3% of men and 1% of women are psychopaths. The majority of psychopaths find ways to restrain themselves, not for concern about us but for fear of being discovered and punished for doing the vicious things they want to do.

Some, not all but some, psychopaths go into politics, many as elected Democrats. Review this list of traits and keep Teddy Kennedy in mind.

The DSM IV lists these traits for psychopaths. N.B. it is not necessary to possess all of these traits to be a psychopath; a preponderance of them will do. Psychopaths are:

Selfish, callous, and remorseless in their use of others; they show:

Glibness/superficial charm (smooth-talking, engaging, and slick)

Grandiose sense of self-worth (greatly inflated idea of one’s abilities and self-esteem, arrogance and a sense of superiority)

Pathological lying

Conning/manipulative (uses deceit to cheat others for personal gain)

Lack of remorse or guilt (no feelings or concern for losses, pain, and suffering of others)

Emotional poverty (limited range or depth of feelings)

Callous/lack of empathy (a lack of feelings toward others; cold, contemptuous, and inconsiderate)

They fail to accept responsibility for own actions and live a chronically unstable, antisocial, and socially deviant lifestyle.

Moreover, psychopaths show these traits as well:

Need for stimulation/proneness to boredom (an excessive need for new, exciting stimulation and risk-taking)

Parasitic lifestyle (exploitative financial dependence on others)

Poor behavioral control (frequent verbal abuse and inappropriate expressions of anger)

Promiscuity (numerous brief, superficial sexual affairs)

Lack of realistic, long-term goals

Impulsivity

Irresponsibility (repeated failure to fulfill or honor commitments and obligations)

Juvenile delinquency (criminal behavioral problems between the ages of 13-18)

Early behavior problems (before age 13)

Revocation of conditional release (violating parole or other conditional release)

Many short-term marital relationships (lack of commitment to a long-term relationship)

Criminal versatility (diversity of criminal offenses, whether or not the individual has been arrested or convicted)

Kennedy had at least fifteen of these traits. Pick another Democrat and see how well he/she matches up to these traits. They’re out there.

For insults so childish that Moore wants to Hit That Shit, dial 1-800-Bosco.

Thank you for calling all things Bosco. Press 1 to hear Bosco scream out "howler" in hot Hollywood starlet orgasmic ecstasy. Its so fucking hot that you will shoot your wad quicker than a Tesla S can go from 0 to 60 in OMFG Ludicrous mode...or we'll gladly refund that penny you wasted calling this not-so-hot line

Press 2 to hear the same ol' Bosco song and dance. Classic hits like "howlin' on empty," "runnin' with the toddler," "cartoon me once, shame on me...cartoon me twice, I melt faster than a pre-teen at Justin Bieber's feet," and his number 1 hit with a bullet..."libruls killed my tiny hung like a baby chubby"

If you are Roy Moore, press 3 speak to Bosco's Mommy.

Thank you for calling Bosco's Mommy. To seek permission to date my baby boy Bosco, please leave your name and number after the tone. And for the love of all things holy, someone please choke him out with your monster schlong so he'll just shut the hell up. If your schlong aint long, we'll buy you a porn shop tree trunk sized johnson and we can all cheer "Mission Accomplished" from the deck of an aircraft carrier when you go all bombs over Bosco. He's fucking up Mommy's Wheel of Fortune hour with all this horseshit of his wafting up from my basement like toxic mold. I told his father to just toss him over the damned tiger exhibit at the zoo, but did he listen??? Nooooo!!! *Beep*

A great example of mental illness here

Tell me this person isn't typing out his or her cartoonish fantasies...

The Right is chock full of DSM diagnosable mental health issues too. Your point...if you have one?
