Are
You Nuts?
(No, but thanks for asking.)

p>Well, there you have it. The package is nearly complete. Having
already defined conservative principles as hate crimes, liberals
have now shown, with charts and graphs and footnotes, that
conservative philosophy is mental illness. All that’s left is to

vote and have families.

At some point, when I was still very young (mid-40’s), I observed that there are two kinds of people in the world: 1. Those who will admit that they are insane and, 2. Those who will not admit that they are insane.
True to form, the “Berserkely Study” (without its authors having the faintest idea) looks like a self study. Additionally, its points apply to two groups of people who are of the second kind (above): Illiberals in general, and Democrats in particular.
