Boy, it sure must be tough to be a Liberal (or even a small-L ‘liberal’) these days.
First, Jonah Goldberg produced his scholarly book Liberal Fascism, which documents that fascism was never associated with the political right, but actually grew out of socialism and “progressivism”. And now a leading board-certified psychiatrist writes that political liberals are certifiably psychotic.
Dr. Lyle Rossiter, author of The Liberal Mind: The Psychological Causes of Political Madness, writes: “Like spoiled, angry children, they rebel against the normal responsibilities of adulthood and demand that a parental government meet their needs from cradle to grave.”
He adds: “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.”
Political scientist Goldberg has compellingly demonstrated that both Fascism and Naziism arose from the Left end of the political spectrum, not the right. True, both were opposed to Communism-but only because Communists promote international socialism, while Fascists and Nazis insist on national socialism.
Of course, this is not to imply that the four parties now in Canada’s Parliament are Nazis; they’re not. But all four-the Liberals, the Marxist BQ and the Socialist NDP, as well as our free-spending ‘Liberal Lite’ government-all pander to radical Leftist ideologies (as when our ‘conservative’ Prime Minister promised to block legislation on abortion, and reneged on his promise to re-open the issue of same-sex “marriage”); and all four look to government for solutions to social and moral problems-which leads to “one-size-fits-all” social engineering.
It makes you wonder why Canadians-4/5 of whom say they are Christians-keep re-electing these so-called “progressives”. Prof. André Blais, a political scientist at McGill, says the strongest indicator of how a Canadian will vote is “party loyalty”.
But wouldn’t you think Christians would have a higher loyalty-to the principles taught by their Lord?
