This is hilarious. I like to think of myself as an independent. I used to read WND and YellowTimes to keep in touch with the ends of the spectrum. I have found it much harder to read WND since YT shut down, and only occasionally look in on the headlines. This onecaught my eye, and I had to share:
It looks like he has created a strawman of liberal ideology and then used Freudian psychobabble to classify it as mentally defective. Enjoy and dissect.

PS: Does anyone know a good unabashedly liberal news site the equivalent of YellowTimes?
That’s not as bad as the article that tells it’s readers to send threatening packages to the Supreme Court in order to get them to invalidate Obama’s presidency on the grounds that he isn’t a citizen.
Why would they do that? Do they really think it’ll get the electors to put John McCain into the White House? Don’t they realize that it’d be more likely to get them President Biden? Why on Earth would they prefer that? A “devil you know” thing? “Better him than the Muslim socialist”?
I wouldn’t believe WorldNutDaily if they told me Rosie O’Donnell was Irish, lesbian, or an obnoxious pantload with a voice like a trombone in straight mute.
Had very good luck with ThinkProgress and Talking Points Memo, they link and share with a slew of other lefty blog sites, so you get a taste of the whole spectrum. You want a bit more PBS-style depth, Washington Monthly as a good solid site.
Perhaps a cure? That the whole American political movement goes so far towards the progressive pole I find myself grumpily conservative, by comparison, doing Wilford Brimley posts about kids these days…
A grim prospect, to be sure, but if stern duty demands…
It isn’t hard to call strawman right wing politics as a mental disorder. That’s the beauty of strawmen. Sociopathic tendencies, perhaps? Or maybe an extreme form of middle child syndrome - those “above” you, such as governments and corporations, cannot make error and must be blindly supported; those “below” you, such as homeless gay muslims, must be bullied and victimised.
Actually, I believe that this has already been done, and not as well as yours. A study of the natural personality tendencies of conservatives was quoted at length in John Dean’s Conservatives Without Conscience. I’ve seen it pop up in other places as well. Just as dumb as this stuff.
