Calling a spade a spade

| 1 Comment

An interesting premise from David Yeagley's web forum:

Liberalism: Ancient Phallicism
Liberalism is a social form of sublimated male homosexuality. It is complex, expressing itself in social policy, political rhetoric, and even philosophical tenets, but it is the ancient, inverted sexuality of imbalanced libido.

Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) first offered an organized theory of the human psychology in the form of a triumvirate, the Id, the Ego, and the Super-Ego. The Id was all the raw energy, the Super-Ego was the inherited and cultivated restrictions on the Id, and the Ego was simply the manager - the negotiator between energy and restraint.

Sex was the innate energy, in the form of endless desire for unification with some exterior object, then its consumption. It was a cannibalistic identity fusion. This was the bodily expression of the psychology.

The Freudian theory notes psychological challenges intimately connected with the growth of the body itself. The birth process is a terrifying separation from unity. Remaining psychological life is a prolonged attempt to recover that lost, original unity.

The Oedipal Complex is all about resentment and blame placed on the father, who is perceived as the agent of separation. Male homosexuality is more an expression of anger toward the father than identification with the mother. Robert Stoller's later identification of 'hostility' as a prime characteristic of sexual energy is certainly consistent with this view of sex as aggression, (Sexual Excitement, Simon & Schuster, 1979.) Apparently negative, destructive motives are fundamentally associated, albeit usually unconsciously, with even the heterosexual act.

So what are liberals so hostile about?

Reality. Their condition has received speculation by a number of conservative commentators. David Horowitz suggested it was like 'religious faith,' (The Art of Political War, 2000, p.192). Ann Coulter said liberal tactics involved suppressing anger (Treason, 2003, p.16). Michael Savage has called liberalism a �mental disorder� before 2005 (Liberalism is a Mental Disorder, 2005) on his radio broadcasts.

Understanding liberalism as a chronic psychological condition affecting one's entire world view is a modern interpretation, of course. Obviously, liberalism is always about destroying one's society, one's country, even one's race. This is all Freudian. It is quintessentially Oedipal. In that it strikes the 'fatherland,' or, the home, it is clearly homosexual in nature - male homosexual.

The above is about 50% of Dr. Yeagley's original post and the replies on the forum are diverse and interesting. Some of them present a good look into a functioning liberal mind.

Bleagh...

Sure explains a lot, especially in light of something I remember reading/hearing that liberal males have a much higher rate of suicide than other groups.

Latent homosexuality may be involved, but also consider/substitute latent "death and destruction".
