"Liberalism Is A Mental Disorder" by Michael Savage - Nelson Current, 221 Pages

If you have wondered just what causes liberals to promote the wackiest of all political agendas, Michael Savage uses a dash of humor, a splash of sarcasm and a whole lot of wit to come up with the answer: they're nuts, and dangerous to your political health.

"You will not have a nation unless you awaken to the reality that America has become pacified; America has become feminized; and America is being compromised from without and within," Savage warns. "You cannot let them get away with this. Can America be saved? Is it too late? I believe that with God's will and with your determination to confront the mental disorder of liberalism whenever and wherever it is found, America can both survive and thrive."

The best-selling author and top rated radio talk show host of The Savage Nation not only diagnoses the mental state of liberals, he tells his readers what to do to counteract the ravages wrought by their deranged states of mind and exposes the methods by which they impose their demented agenda on the American people.

Liberalism, he writes, is "made in much the same way as a sausage - it's a blend of fascist, Communist, and socialist ideologies from twentieth century Europe, with a pinch of Nazism, all ground together, yet retaining the flavor of its various parts"

Savage is non-partisan in his critique, however. If he sees a problem, he's going to be all over it like peanut butter on bread.

In his first chapter "More Patton, Less Patent Leather" he castigates the Bush administration for what he insists is a pussycat approach to the war in Iraq. He suggests using the tactics employed by General George S. Patton in World War II – total war, using everything we've got in our arsenal, leveling places like Fallujah the way we leveled German cities.

Like the late General Curtis LeMay, Savage wants to bomb the Iraqi terrorists back to the stone age.

In the same vein, he takes on what he terms Islamofascism, warning that we are facing nothing less than radical Islam's campaign to conquer the world.

Taking a page from the Biblical injunction to "know thine enemies," he writes that "radical Islam isn't a religion as much as it is a political movement with global aspirations. Its leadership masquerades in holy robes while carrying the Koran in one hand and an AK [47] in the other. Their goal? To convert you or kill you. Nothing short of total victory will do."

Islam, he insists, is anything but a peaceful religion and he quotes Abdel Rahman Al Rashad. the manager of Al-Arabiya news channel as saying "It is a certain fact that not all Muslims are Terrorists, but it is equally certain and exceptionally painful, that almost all terrorists are Muslims."

His prescription? Encourage peaceful Muslims to speak out against "the hatemongers and bomb-tossers" and protect these moderates from retaliation from the Islamofascists. "The 9/11 attack on America by the Islamofascists . . . may eventually be seen as the turning point where America breaks free of the chains of socialist oppression," he writes.

He also zeroes in on one of the hottest political issues – illegal immigration - and the failure of the federal government to cope with the flood of illegals pouring across our southern border. "Allowing anybody - even one person - to sneak into America in a post-9/11 world is nothing short of suicidal," he rages. "I envision an Oil-for-Illegals program . . . the President should demand one barrel of oil from Mexico for every illegal alien that sneaks into our country"

He adds :"Any nation that refuses to control her borders is not just suffering from a mental disorder, they're tip-toeing at the ledge of a skyscraper"

Part of the insanity raging across liberalism, he writes, is evident in the story of three immigration officers who were fined and jailed by U.S. District Judge Lee Rosenthal for failing to give timely medical treatment to an illegal alien who had been injured during a raid.

The judge, he wrote "obviously has her head up her robe. This fraud refused to accept the testimony of ... a veteran border agent [and one of the three men convicted by Rosenthal] when he said he believed the victim was faking an injury."

What's even loonier, however, is the fact that the family of the illegal alien sued the government in federal court and won $2.15 million.

Such judicial activism is merely one aspect of the unending, continued assault by liberal elite on the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Ten Commandments, and now even the Sanctity of Marriage.

In chapter after chapter he shows what underhanded tactics liberals employ to infect our culture and our institutions with their crazed agenda. And he writes prescriptions to counteract its effects.

Here's how Savage goes about savaging his targets:

• "I believe it's time for the heads of The National Lawyers Guild and MoveOn.org and other left-wing agitation groups who are using the courts to impose their will on the sheeple to be prosecuted under the federal RICO statutes."


• "The head of the snake is the American Civil Liberties Union, which fashions itself as the de facto fourth branch of government."


• "Pass tort reform now. . . . Lawyers are like red wine. Everything in moderation. Today we have far too many lawyers, and we're suffering from cirrhosis of the economy."


• "Somehow I can't picture Martin Luther King, Jr. marching in makeup and a miniskirt to hold a vigil at the state capital for the rights of drag queens."

He advises sane Democrats to quit their party. "As they are pulled farther in by the fringe soothsayers and the Pied Pipers of the Democrat Party, they become gulled into believing in the lessening or dissolution of America's sovereignty and in embracing an allegiance to 'European' (i.e. socialist) concepts"

At the end of the book he provides an hilarious glossary with such gems as:

• Briefcase Mafia: Trial Lawyers


• Bypassed Bolshevics in Buicks: retired, retreat leftists, known to haunt Palm Beach County, Florida.


• Socialism; Organized crime with an army.


• TNN: Taliban News Network a.k.a CNN

No, Michael Savage doesn't spare the rod to spoil the liberals in America - he tries to knock some sense into them with it, and obviously had a lot of fun doing so.

Hey all, here is an interesting article I read this morning.  Great job to the Minutemen who sacrafice to protect our borders!  This campaign is really starting to open people's eyes...

'Nightmare' that wasn't
  
By Robert Stacy McCain
 
It's over now, the carnage on the Arizona-Mexico border caused by violent right-wing vigilantes. No longer are members of the so-called Minuteman Project shedding the blood and violating the human rights of innocent Mexicans whose only "crime" was illegally trying to enter the United States to earn money for their impoverished families.
    Weeks of slaughter and atrocities are now at an end, and the Minuteman vigilantes are going home. Oh, wait a minute. It never happened.
   There was no bloodshed during the three weeks when civilian volunteers patrolled the border. No carnage, no human-rights violations, nothing. The closest thing to an "atrocity" was when a volunteer had an illegal immigrant to pose for a photo holding a funny T-shirt. (The horror.)
    "Border vigilantes stir fears of violence," was the headline on a March 31 Associated Press article, warning "law-enforcement officials and human-rights advocates are worried about the potential for bloodshed." A California college professor/"human-rights" activist called the border volunteers "domestic terrorists [who] represent a danger to the country."
    Rep. Raul Grijalva, Arizona Democrat, sent a letter to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, warning that the Minuteman Project "creates a situation for something violent to occur."
    Yet nothing violent occurred. What did occur, both U.S. and Mexican officials agree, is that a few hundred law-abiding Americans did what their government (with an annual budget of more than $2 trillion) said it couldn't do: discourage illegal border crossings.
    The lack of vigilante violence in Arizona was the latest (though certainly not the last) in a long history of liberal predictions that failed to materialize. Like name-calling and scandal-hunting, scaremongering is an easy way for liberals to divert attention from the fact they haven't had a workable policy agenda in years.
    A partial list of predicted nightmares that never came true: 
    • In the 1960s, Paul Ehrlich and others predicted tens of millions of people around the world would soon starve to death as a result of overpopulation. It didn't happen, and global fertility rates are now so low (and still falling steadily), that some demographers forecast a decline in world population beginning as soon as 2050.
    • In the 1970s, Americans were warned an "energy crisis" meant the world would soon run out of oil. Three decades later, no one predicts exhaustion of the petroleum supply — ever.
    • In the 1980s, liberals said evil warmonger Ronald Reagan was on the verge of provoking World War III, with "nuclear winter" wreaking havoc on the planet as a result of the impending thermonuclear holocaust. Didn't happen. The Soviet Union folded like a cheap suit.
    • In the 1990s, liberals screamed that poor children would starve to death because of welfare reform and Republicans' "draconian" cuts in social programs. Fast forward to 2005: experts now warn of an obesity epidemic among poor children.
    •  After the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, experts rushed to warn Americans of the dangers of right-wing militias — soon, hordes of gun-toting wackos would goose-step down Main Street. Never happened. The supposedly large and growing "militia movement" turned out to be a handful of kooks in camouflage.
    Amazing, isn't it? Liberals haven't accurately predicted anything in 40 years. Yet every time a liberal "expert" gins up a new prophecy of disaster (global warming, anyone?) his phone number is added to the speed-dial of "Nightline" producers, and the New York Times wins another Pulitzer for its five-part series examining the crisis du jour.
    With the failure of the predicted "border vigilante" crisis, liberals have maintained their record of being 100 percent wrong — and now press on to new adventures in wrongness.
    Liberals have recently predicted proposed Social Security reforms will slash retirement benefits, Tom DeLay's "scandals" will hurt the GOP, and the Terry Schiavo case will help Democrats retake control of Congress next year.
    Don't bet on any of it. The only difference between predictions by liberals and predictions by supermarket tabloid psychics is the possibility — however remote — that Bigfoot might be real and Elvis may still be alive.
