Liberalism Is a Mental Disorder: Savage Solutions Paperback – March 5, 2006

As a conservative psychologist I claim that Savage hits it right on the head. All liberals that I know but do not associate with have a mental disorder. They are motivated by guilt, are arrogant and elitist, and only "nice" things for others so that they can, in turn, feel good or better about themselves. They love to pat themselves on the back and admire their own supposed goodness.

Love him or hate him, Dr. Savage is certainly an interesting and compelling writer. He's back once again touting his "borders, language and culture" mantra from the previous books. This is supposedly the final of this series. The new spin this time takes his assault on liberalism to its ultimate and logical conclusion, asserting that extreme liberalism is in fact a mental disease--one in which logic no longer prevails yet emotion runs rampant. The useful morons, as he calls them, flock like lemmings behind ideas that simply cannot work. He goes on to prove his points by citing hundreds of specific examples based upon remarkably well-founded research (the guy is an actual scientist after all). It's nice to see a little substance behind the political commentary.

He doesn't just slam the left, as you might expect from the title, however. His vitriol takes a stab at the current administration's handling of homeland security in general and our country's borders in particular. Savage's fiery witticisms such as "more Pattons (i.e., the general) and less patent leather," "one dirty bomb ruining your whole day," and "oil for illegals" aren't really as funny as he thinks they are and frankly got pretty annoying after a while. Regardless, the underlying message is pretty well-written, consistent, and insightful.

If you want to look at America through the eyes of a true conservative, this book is for you. If you lean left you will hate it. If you lean right you'll probably love it. The vast majority of us in the middle will think it is worth reading. It doesn't follow the Republican party line nor does it universally slam the Democrats. It's truly a liberal vs. conservative treatise and a pretty good one at that.

All in all, I found this book not only entertaining, but illuminating as well. It really did make me think.

I have read other books by Michael Savage in the past, but I had never read this 221 page hardcover (Liberalism is a mental disorder: Savage solutions by Michael Savage) volume until recently. I saw it for a bargain price on Amazon and immediately bought it. Even though this book is somewhat dated (Published in 2005) most of the material is still valid and many of the points he makes about the topics and issues have become a reality today. Just look what the last eight years have done to this once noble country.

This excellent book is organized into seven chapters covering a wide range of material. The first part he makes the case of how liberal political correctness has turned our country into a bunch of whiners and complainers. He relates how Patton would have handled the Mideast problems and the war as compared to how it is being managed today. The second part is about “unmasking Islamofascism” and how liberals have no understanding of the Koran and embrace tolerance of radical Islamism. The third part the author deals with problems at our southern border and the alien invasion. The fourth part covers “traders vs. traitors” and how our liberals do not have a clue as to what is happening in the world. The fifth part explains the lunacy of liberal thinking when it comes to Arafat, Clinton, Kinsey and other issues. The liberal ACLU and their stances on various issues are covered in chapter six. The final section the author expounds upon the “red and blue” showing the liberals position on the war against Islamic radicalism, gay marriage and other issues.

Even though I do not agree with everything the author writes about in this book and as I mentioned before it is dated being published in 2005; nevertheless, I did like this book enough to give it five stars. Since this book was published it seems the majority of people have embraced the philosophy of collectivism.

Our president has kept his promise and has fundamentally changed our country to his vision of collectivism. Sadly, since this book was published the last two presidential elections the United States has made a hard left turn toward the philosophy of collectivism (Socialism, Communism, Progressives, and Nazism). Unfortunately, the far left lunatics have finally convinced enough brain dead people to embrace slavery and collectivism over freedom and individualism. In fact, I predicted in my article (published on line Tribune paper) Hillary Clinton would not only run for President but will win no matter who the Republicans run against her. I hope I am wrong but I maintain this position at this time.

If you are interested in reading how the far left liberal mind-set has changed America this book should be on your list of must reads. If you compare what is in this book with how things are now in 2015 you will quickly see we have not learned from history.

Rating: 5 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Never Trust a Politician: A critical review of politics and politicians).

I have listened to Michael for over 20 years. He is not a show and glow typical talk show host. He says what he means and clearly. I have learned to trust him on his views unlike some. I wish I had bought the book earlier yet even today it is a good read. For our changing world today people need to distinguish between truth and half truths. Liberals seem to lose it on only half truths, lies and deception. I was raised in a very liberal family and started out liberal in my views from college. My grandparents were liberal democrats and their views would shock the so called progressive liberals of today. Liberals today have changed drastically and have changed the meaning of liberal to fit their views. Liberalism has surely become a mental disorder.
