Munchausen Syndrome Politics

Peter Schweizer has elevated the national debate again. Rising above the he-said/she said din of cable news debates, Peter has produced a well-researched and fascinating analysis of the psychology that is inherent in liberalism. By reviewing scores of peer-reviewed, large-scale public surveys; Peter exposes many misperceptions that are regularly promoted in the media.

The public has generally accepted many of the precepts of the liberal message: Conservatives are mean, self-centered, cheating, uncharitable, and unhappy - the facts just don't bear this out.

In a sense all of these false beliefs and constructs define factitious disorder syndrome. Better known as Munchausen syndrome, these disorders are characterized by exactly the same self-delusional and malingering traits exposed in Makers and Takers.

If Munchausen by proxy means inflicting the disorder on others, then surely the United States is the left's proxy. Those who are naturally inclined to resist personal responsibility and accountability find a happy and willing enabler in liberalism. Since the primary motive of Munchausen is to obtain sympathy, nurturance and attention; the drumbeat message of liberalism over the last 40 years is surely a sirens song and a likely motivation to perpetrate this fraudulent view of conservatives.

The question I have is this: If one man, researching publicly available data on his own can produce this work, how could the thousands of so-called political science professors and researchers have missed it all this time?

though-provoking with explanations about the left and right in america

finally a book that explains the basis for liberal and conservative philosophies and does so in a way that shows how the left in america are a paradox of themselves...this book showcases why the left in america think the way they do, act the way they do, and go about their daily lives in a manner that is more hypocritical than anything...full of quotes, stats, and stories that explain why the left in america, from its politicians to the media to special interest groups, dont even stand for what they say they believe in and they go ahead and say it anyway...a must read for anyone who wants to understand the political ideologies of people go much farther than how they feel about certain political issues...their political ideologies are a reflection about the very foundaitons about how they view life in general...entertaining and useful because although the content does not praise the right, it does use evidence that supports the right and allows the reader to make his/her own decisions based on the reading

Impressive research proving conservatives better people

If you are conservative, you have to read this! "Makers and Takers" is chock full of solid research proving conservatives love more, give more, and generally are happier and better people.

When asked "Would you endure all things for the one you love? More than half--55 percent of conservatives--said yes, compared with only 26 percent of liberals" (p 31). And even worse, when asked "Is it your obligation to care for a seriously ill spouse or parent...71 percent of conservatives said it was...Less than half (46%) of liberals agreed" (p 31). This is a staggering difference in morality between the two groups.

Research shows conservatives want children more, and are more fertile. And this is not surprising, given the additional research showing how narcissistic liberals are when compared to conservatives. When 1,195 university students were studied, liberals were full of egocentrism. The same results were found in a study in Germany.

Unsurprisingly, therefore, liberals were more likely to be alienated from their families. On the other hand, conservatives were ""significantly more likely than other parents to display positive, nurturing emotions toward their children" (p 44).

And here are some really disturbing results from the respected World Values Survey:

Liberals were much more likely to agree to lie.

"More than a third of liberals (34 %) said they would cheat the restaurant out of the money" (p 118).

More likely to cheat.

Less likely to take the blame when they did something wrong.

"More than a third (35%) of progressives said 'there are some situations where adultery is understandable'. Only 3% of conservatives agreed" (p 114).

At the bottom all of this, I suspect, is religion. Those who do not believe in God have no reason to follow the 10 commandments.

But good grief, they don't even feel obligated to take care of a sick spouse or parent???

Thankfully, evidence

For years I have been noticing the slide of Liberals into exaggerated self righteousness - fairly equivalent to their tendency to demonize significant conservative figures.

Schweizer doesn't waste any time in framing his work as a response to the increasingly hostile assumptions of Liberals. He continues by bringing evidence to establish that in most every aspect in life conservatives are more decent, honorable people ... in general.

Liberals shouldn't get too upset because while the truth will surely hurt, the evidence shows that many Liberals are decent people - just not quite up to conservative standards.
