Мария, горько горько Вас разочарую ( very sorry about your thumb, btw ) : я вижу клиники точно так же как и Вы. Потому что , хотя многие прогрессивные идеи я подерживаю, но от шизофрении не страдаю. Not sure how many liberals you personally discussed those matters, but most of them are just as sane as most conservatives. But then, there is this fringe on both sides, and you seem to extrapolate your perceptions from looking at that fringe.
Btw, I am very disappointed at how this healthcare Bill is shaping itself.
There is one thing about liberals you might not know: they tend to be very critical as well as self critical.

Hey, Maybe Scott Brown has a chance! I found this on internet ( among 3 reasons why he could win the seat).
Conservatives, support him!(v)
3. Brown has gone viral: Largely shunned by the Republicanestablishment, Brown has utilized an online strategy which has igniteda grassroots campaign to get Brown elected. Do a Google search ofblogs, and you will see that Brown is the talk of the internet, andmost posts about Coakley are negative. While the mainstream media stillholds great sway, Brown is seen as rising and Coakley as more of thesame. Brown is winning the online battle.

Moonbattiest Ravings of 2009

Posted by Van Helsing
2009 produced a bumper crop of moonbattery. Right Wing News lists the top 40 craziest quotes, including these gems:
But it is really not easy to make fun of the Obamas, because they're really — they're kind of really perfect, aren't they?
—Joy Behar
…the total mindless, morally bankrupt, knee-jerk, fascistic hatred — without which Michelle Malkin would just be a big mashed-up bag of meat with lipstick on it.
—Keith Olbermann
Now, people when I say that look at me and say, "What are you talking about, Joe? You're telling me we have to go spend money to keep from going bankrupt?" The answer is yes, that&39;m telling you.
—Joe Biden
I think an overwhelming portion of the intensely demonstrated animosity toward President Barack Obama is based on the fact that he is a black man, that he's African-American.
—Jimmy Carter

Do you remember tea baggers? It was just so much easier when we could just call them racists. I just don't know why we can't call them racists, or functionally retarded adults. The functionally retarded adults, the racists — with their cries of, "I want my country back." You know what they're really saying is, "I want my white guy back." They apparently had no problem at all for the last eight years of habeas corpus being suspended, the Constitution being [expletive] on, illegal surveillance, lied to on a war or two, two stolen elections — yes, the John Kerry one was stolen too.
—Janeane Garofalo
Frankly, if there is repression in Cuba we didn't see it.
—Congressman Emanuel Cleaver (D-MO)

One-party autocracy certainly has its drawbacks. But when it is led by a reasonably enlightened group of people, as China is today, it can also have great advantages.
—Thomas Friedman

So the House passed the Waxman-Markey climate-change bill. In political terms, it was a remarkable achievement. But 212 representatives voted no. A handful of these no votes came from representatives who considered the bill too weak, but most rejected the bill because they rejected the whole notion that we have to do something about greenhouse gases. And as I watched the deniers make their arguments, I couldn't help thinking that I was watching a form of treason — treason against the planet.
—Paul Krugman
Reagan was all about America, and you talked about it. Obama is, "We are above that now. We're not just parochial, we're not just chauvinistic, we're not just provincial. We stand for something." I mean, in a way, Obama's standing above the country, above — above the world. He's sort of God.
—Evan Thomas, Newsweek

The recent shootings at Ft. Hood … demonstrate how even our military officers are opposed to US strategy in Afghanistan.
—Code Pink
My resolution for 2010: not to bother trying to reason with moonbats. As these quotes make clear, there isn't any point
From Moonbattery.com

yourposts, as well as those of some of your fellow conservatives, seem to be the battiest of them all. (H)

I dunno what "battiest" mean. But there is a well -defined term "moonbat" ( see urban dictionary)(H)
