Republican Psychoanalysis 101
Author: BobR
Date: 07/30/2008 12:21:56
I had an experience lately that got me thinking about right-wingers and why they think they way they do. As some of you may know, I have a second job at a pizza place. One of my coworkers is a right-winger, and we get along despite this obvious character flaw. I had shown her the letter to the editor I had gotten published regarding drilling for oil, and she tried to correct my "misperceptions". Next to it was a letter regarding Michael Weiner Savage, and she said "I love him". I said he was an asshole and she said "that's why I love him". I mentioned his comments on autistic children and she said "he's right - I have a friend that runs a day care center and she said...". There was some crosstalk (and I had to leave to make a delivery), but then she said "I don't believe in ADD either".
I was livid. It reminded me of a neighbor I used to have who was a staunch Republican who hated Mexicans, was pro-war, and put her dog's food dish down for 10 minutes every day. If he didn't eat, she'd pick up the dish and he'd have to wait until the next day to eat. I never got an explanation from her for this unnecessary authoritarian approach, but she simply proclaimed that she didn't "free feed".
Notice the word "free".
These types seem to come in various flavors with various pet fanaticisms, but the one trait they all seem to have in common is that they are angry that someone somewhere is getting something they didn't earn or don't deserve. They are angry that someone is "getting away with it", getting a free ride, not being properly punished for their behavior.
Imagine a Mexican person standing by the side of the road in the middle of a workday. The Republican will look and think "that lazy bastard, using our system for free healthcare and foodstamps, and my hard-working tax dollars paying for it!" (have you ever met a Republican that wasn't "hard-working"?
). The Democrat will look and think "that poor bastard - so far from home and can't find work. I wonder how he gets by?".
You could substitute "black" for "Mexican" and get nearly the same reaction. A white person would probably generate an entirely different reaction (sadly, for both the Republican AND the Democrat, but that's a different essay for another day).
Republicans seem to be against abortion because "someone is getting away with sex for fun" as much as for religious reasons. They're against taxes because some are being used to help out the "lazy welfare queens" (so naturally they're against Welfare and food stamps). They're for the death penalty and harsh sentences. They're for bombing anyone that criticizes the U.S. They're likely against gay sex because they know gays can have as much sex as they want and not have to worry about pregnancy. They're for school vouchers and NCLB because "bad schools" aren't getting properly punished for poor performance.
It seems to essentially come down to deep-seated anger and dissatisfaction. Neither of the women I mentioned seem "happy". I know other Republicans, and they too seem grumpy all the time, complaining about this or that. The only smiles I see are dripping with sarcasm and cynicism. There's a smirky smile when one of their targets (immigrants, arabs, liberals, or the unemployed) gets their "comeuppance".
Most liberals I know are angry with the state of affairs in the country, but are nonetheless relentlessly upbeat, understanding, and forgiving. They smile easily.
Republicans want to be the stern mother with the paddle in her hand, lording it over the kids and threatening them with a beating should they step out of line. Democrats want to be the loving mother that keeps the kids happy, thriving and thus behaving.
Perhaps it's all about how we were raised... and how some of us overcame it anyway.
Just a thought...

Excellent points BobR. Though I would say that "unhappy" or pissed off Republicans is a generalization. I certainly know some (Al From WV comes to mind) that seem content and happy. Maybe they have a certain thing we call: brains/smart.
Ya know, here's a subject that is rarely talked about. We would not have all these (black) welfare moms if we, as a Nation, had not screwed up Reconstruction! After the Civil War, we set all the slaves free........... with nothing. How did they think that was gonna turn out? Hmmm?

First - may I comment - yay! 4F is back!!!
BobR - your post is thought provoking. I agree with your observations - and might I add (or suggest) that while accurate, the broad portrayal does not apply to all Republican or all Democrats?
There are the outliers... the occasional happy Conservative and the sometimes depressing Liberal...

Morning :hug:
Hmmm - have to say, as Vel did, thought provoking opening this morning. Not sure about generalizing one side or the other. I don't think anyone is that cut and dried, I certianaly have my pissed off moments and I don't like to see people who break the rules get away with it. Suppose it's more a jealously issue, cause I know when I try to break the rules I usally get caught.
As for the person on the side of the road - usually my first thought it is "damn, hope they don't get hit"

Hm...Interesting. Liberals are the L.A. Mothers trying to reason with a 5 year old brat, while Conservatives are New York Mothers threating to beat the 5 year old brat.
Neither which i particularly believe work.
Side Note, in proof of the Liberals laugh easier, look at the great stand-up comics, or the nice ones we see on TV. Most Comics tend to lean liberal in their views. You'd be very hard pressed to find a "good" conservative Comic. Also, Liberals are more willing to laugh at themselves. Who doesn't love a good Clinton BJ joke?
Another Side-Note: I also don't by into ADD.

I was thinking more about your post BobR - you spoke of individuals - Conservatives imposing structure on individuals and Liberals wanting more freedom.
Consider the flip side in the corporate context. To use a broad brush, the reverse seems to be the case: Liberals favor imposing restraints on corporations while Conservatives seem to like more freedom for corporations.

thanks for the feedback. I know that generalizations are just that and not everyone fits the bill. I think the charactaristics, though, can be found in some form in most cases. I would consider Al to be more of an old-school conservative, not really a Republican.
As to the ADD - I think in a lot of cases it is borderline autism, but that's just my uninformed opinion (I'm not a doctor, but I DID stay at a Holiday Inn!)

Off topic completely. I saw" X-Files: I want to Puke Believe" yesterday.
Here is Velveeta's quick review:
Do you like Action/Adventure films? Do you like Romantic comedies? Horror? Thrillers? Well, if you like any of these, then The X-Files is not the film to see! But if you like sitting in the dark, eating stale popcorn, rolling your eyes often and saying "Oh for shit's sake!" then X-Files movie is a winner.

Your first part dovetails nicely with the authoritarian nature of Republicans I was trying to illustrate. The latter part relates to selfishness -vs- selflessness that I didn't want to get into.

My beef with ADD is that all of a sudden if a 7 year old can't sit still in a class room he's got ADD.

My take on Republicans?
The one thing that infuriates me is that they are absolutely right about everything. I have yet to meet one that even has the slightest conception that another opinion or point of view exists.
And god forbid that you have *actual* facts that contradicts something they've been told. They're so inflexible that they are completely incapable of conceiving that their information might be incorrect.
I was raised by a college administrator; I learned at an early age to take "facts" with a grain of salt and to always look for confirmation or alternatives...

Sorry 'bout that. We had trouble getting on this am. I think it must be overloaded. I'll try reposting later.
But basically, it says that this Atchisson guy who shot up the church, was a frequent listener and letter writer to Hannity, O'Reilly, Savage.
Not that you're shocked, I'm sure.

Good morning! Good morning! Oh, I am so glad bloggie is back.
Some Randomâ„¢ thoughts that I wasn't able to share yesterday:
- Can we use our tax dollars to post signs every few yards, on the highway, that read "The Left Lane is for PASSING!!!! If you are not PASSING, move the F* over!"
- Using a re-usable coffee mug gets you strange looks at certain fast food joints.
- I am thinking of getting another tattoo; this time on my wrist.
- I am thinking of quitting smoking.
- What is the point of "Road to the White House" with David Gregory? Really? We need an hour every day for the next 4 months dedicated to the Presidential Race? Are there not other things going on?
You guys are definitely taking the right path, in my opinion. Does ADD exist? Of course it does. Sh*t, I have ADD, practically. The real discussion is about the overmedication of kids. We shouldn't be giving 7 year olds a "crutch." We should be giving them avenues, and creative education tools to harnass that energy and use it effectively. I love Thom Hartmann's 'Hunters and Gatherers' theory.

You guys are definitely taking the right path, in my opinion. Does ADD exist? Of course it does. Sh*t, I have ADD, practically. The real discussion is about the overmedication of kids. We shouldn't be giving 7 year olds a "crutch." We should be giving them avenues, and creative education tools to harnass that energy and use it effectively. I love Thom Hartmann's 'Hunters and Gatherers' theory.

Why, no comment?
Saying 'no comment' is sort of a passive way of saying that you disagree.
Maybe you should say what your comment is, or don't say anything.
Just sayin. . . .

C'ville Talker Drops Savage Over Autism Rant - 7/30 - Charlottesville talker WINA (1070 AM) drops Michael Savage's "Savage Nation" show for his recent comments on autism. Program Director Rick Daniels tells The Hook newspaper: "Quite honestly, it came down to common decency. Although he was trying to make a bigger point, he didn't clarify it at all. We took into account our listeners and some feedback we've gotten, and we wanted to do what was best for our community." Savage continues to be heard on DC's WTNT and Baltimore's WCBM. More on Savage's autism rant is in DCRTV's 7/21 newsblurb.....

It's so true Faye.
My Lady's Friend Mom used to be a Lobbyist for the American Dental Assoc.
She finally quit, when American Dentists were asking her to Lobby against a group of Dentists that were going onto Reservations to offer affordable, or sometimes free, Dental care.
That is, of course, only one example.

I personally think that each and every case is individual. I have seen children that need medication...I would say that ADD/ADHD is exaserbated by the pharmacuetical industry to a GREAT extent, but, there are definatly cases in some children where this is a very real situation and without medication, they are a danger to themselves.
It should be between a parent (s) and thier doctor, not the school system to decide.

These conversations lend themselves to broad generalizations.

The Education system needs an overhaul.

Racoons can get very big. I had a cat that saved me from a 4 foot coon. A little black kitty stood between me and a coon on her hind legs and with her arms waving she told the racoon - RAWRAWRWAWAAA -
The coon took off, didn't want any of that cat stuff.
She was a great cat.

On ADD, I personally do not have the skill or expertise to second guess doctors and medical institutions.
When I was a kid they just called it hyperactivity and I can understand there really are chemical imbalances in individuals.
To make a blanket statement about other peoples children is not something I could defend - so I don't do it.
Maybe it is just me . . .

Wow, Bob your view of the right from your S-P world is pretty funny I hope that youd didn't spend your own money on that Tech education. This makes me wonder has anyone on this blog ever heard of personel responsablity or has anyone on here been successful? I guess its okay for all of you to take from people that have been working fr waht they have. Its okay to help people but you S-P's just want something for nothing. Its funny even Obama is trying to get to the middle so fast that it is amazing. By the way I like your little groups term right wing tool. Very adult you should be proud of that one being a Tech man and all. (LOL)

Hey - how about that? I am taking personal responsibility for the cause of and solution to my financial problems. Looks like I disproved YOUR generalization.
AND, you spelled responsibility correctly!!!

My squirrels come right up to the back door for a looksie. They look through the screen holes, it's kinda cute actually, little heads bobbing about. One of them gets on the BBQ so he can look through the window. Sometimes he'll scratch on the window if they doesn't see me. Since the little buggers can make a little fist, I'm expecting a rap on the back door any time now! "Hey lady, bring us some peanuts, on the back porch, STAT!"
Good morning/afternoon bloggers.

Georgia-boy,
Why do you automatically assume that none of us work - talk about inserting a gross stereotype into a lame attempt at a discussion. You are an ignorant Southern redneck (How's that for a stereotype right back at you :P) Now please just go away...

Wow, Bob your view of the right from your S-P world is pretty funny I hope that youd didn't spend your own money on that Tech education. This makes me wonder has anyone on this blog ever heard of personel responsablity or has anyone on here been successful? I guess its okay for all of you to take from people that have been working fr waht they have. Its okay to help people but you S-P's just want something for nothing. Its funny even Obama is trying to get to the middle so fast that it is amazing. By the way I like your little groups term right wing tool. Very adult you should be proud of that one being a Tech man and all. (LOL)

I don't get it, GA trooper.. Since when does personal responsibility mean people shouldn't help others in need?
There's something I learned at a very early age, both because there's clergy in my family and because I attended catechism. It is mentioned in several places in the Bible.
These passages are known collectively as the Golden Rule. As much as I hope people would practice this as much as possible, we constantly find ourselves individually and collectively concerned more about our own interests than anyone elses.
The Republican definition of "personal responsibility" is the most aggregious example of ignoring this simple biblical teaching in the country today. And notice I didn't say conservative - because a true conservative would embrace such time-tested morals.

I saw a lot of people trying to have civil debate with him... However, it should be noted that you don't come into another persons home and shit on the rug and then expect to have polite conversation.
It does not work that way.
He is on a 7 day timeout. If he wants, he is MORE than welcome to go over to the Message board and debate all he wants... As long as he understands the meaning of debate. I am SURE pople would be (my cousin Vinny Voice) MORE than willing to discuss...

That's the kind of person who would have been a "good German" during the 1930's. Good thing I was away from the blog because I don't think I could have been civil.

It was a relatively short, rolling earthquake, Liv, so it wasn't scary or anything. The ones with the big jolt and then the shaking will put your teeth on edge though. I always just stay where I am because no good comes from panic. Five nitwits were injured when they trampled each other trying to get out of a building. I just shake my head. Survival of the fittest, I always say.

I think it would take a very special troll to rise to the level of civility, comity and comedy we have here.
There is a huge difference between someone who disagrees and wants to discuss and someone that is just disagreeable and wants to insult or belittle.
The people that would post that crud would never do so in a social context because they are obviously living in a fear based mindset. It is very rare to find one of them that will actually discuss and debate. Very rare indeed.
Who needs that kind of crud anyway? It is devolution by definition.

you know, what was said was fine... I don't want people to be afraid to express opinions, especially satirical ones.
the teddy Kennedy thing REALLY pissed me off, becuase, well I actually READ the threads over at Freeper land. you would be shocked at what was said about Teddy there.
I don't think ANYONE should just waltz in and pass judgement without understanding the context of things said and by whom. I know you guys, I know what you mean... trooper doesn't have the right to come in and pass a blanket judgement... and not one single one of us should EVER let people like THAT make us feel like we need to feel bad.
When people like georgia trooper get their own house in order, then he has a right to comment on ours. Until that time comes, he should worry more about his own sorry state of affairs.

I don't want us to be like "them." I have nothing nice to say about Novak, but also I would refrain from being happy that he has a brain tumor.
If we don't want the wReich saying things about Ted Kennedy, we probably shouldn't say anything about Novak. That's just how I feel.

OK, Raine, I have regained my composure, swished some water to rinse the taste of troll bile out of my mouth, and I am here to give a little update on my first week as a new teacher.
You should all know that much of the past few days have been taken up with meetings, meeting, meetings; frankly they've been a little surprising. A few of the topics we've been covering.
*The Secular-Progressive Agenda and You
*Destroying Your Students' Parents' Marriages with Gay Marriage
*Abortion to 3 Years Old - Encourage It, People!
*Tricking Your Students Into Singing "The Internationale"
*Proper Starter Materials For Flag-Burning
*Lattes and Liberalism; Why They're So Darn Good Together
*Hating Bush (canceled due to full pre-seminar compliance)
OK, really it's mostly been about meeting SOL goals, student discipline, and where to park when you come in. It's been pretty exciting, though. Monday starts my first big year.

So Random has finished 6 of the lovely 50 states...and the District of Columbia.
How do you mean "finished" ?
Well, Random has collected and averaged weekly averages of poll numbers from the from June till now (averaged the month of may, and everything up till then averaged out) AND, made into a fancy graph.
Unfortunatly, since so litle data on Nadar or Barr, it isn't worth while tracking them as well, but i will make special note to point out where their numbers did effect Obama/McCain.
OOhhhhhhhhh - I understand now

Don't misunderstand, I still think Novak is a bastid!
It's the poking fun at the Tumor, that is kind of. . . .icky.

In all fairness...I do hear what you're saying. However, I cringed before he said anything.
I don't want us to be like "them." I have nothing nice to say about Novak, but also I would refrain from being happy that he has a brain tumor.
If we don't want the wReich saying things about Ted Kennedy, we probably shouldn't say anything about Novak. That's just how I feel.
An interesting point. When I went to Shoot the Messenger, I was talking with one of the writers who is a friend of HBK's and she said they had a bit about Novak for Monday's show but when the news came out about the brain tumor, the bit was pulled from the show.

When all they have as a strategy is to attack the strengths of a candidate, well, they might as well admit they lost.
Typical Republican tactic.. attack the strength...
And boy they are losing bad.

Delaware there is no good reason not to poll. Maybe the results there are also a given? (I seriously don't know)

Well, mine looks more like an ACES seat. [advanced concept ejection system]
Tri, I thought those were used by you mods to eject people from the blog. But hey if that uncomfortable looking contraption is your choice for a fainting couch, rock on my bruddah!

Barack Hits Back: Ad Says McCain Taking Low Road
Video at the link!
"He's practicing the politics of the past: John McCain," reads the ad. "His attacks on Barack Obama: not true, false, baloney, the low road, baseless. John McCain same old politics same failed policies."
A picture of the presumptive Republican nominee shaking hands with the soon-to-be-departed president fills the screen.
"Barack Obama supports a $1,000 middle class tax cut, an energy plan that takes on oil companies, develops alternative fuels and breaks the grip of foreign oil."
The advertisement comes hours after the McCain camp caused a stir of its own when it put out a spot comparing Obama to Britney Spears and Paris Hilton, both in terms of international celebrity and (more subtly) lack of substance. The Obama campaign and the Senator himself denounced the ad, but their rebuttal advertisement is a stronger repudiation. This spot, at once, positions the Senator as above the fray while tying McCain to the widely-unpopular tactics of the Bush years.
Aides to the Illinois Democrat said they did not know, at this time, how big the ad buy would be.

Speaking of Republican Psychoanalysis 101, it seems that the Freepers are actually "Projecting" (to use the clinical terminology),
"In psychology, psychological projection (or projection bias) is a defense mechanism in which one attributes one’s own unacceptable or unwanted thoughts or/and emotions to others. Projection reduces anxiety by allowing the expression of the unwanted subconscious impulses/desires without letting the conscious mind recognize them. The theory was developed by Sigmund Freud and further refined by his daughter Anna Freud, and for this reason, it is sometimes referred to as "Freudian Projection"[1] [2]
Psychological projection

By having us liberals handy as a scapegoat, these cretins can continue on their merry oblivious way through life...believing whatever their asshat leadership tells them. Kool-aid kids !

The problem I have with charges of projection is that when someone accuses you of something and you accuse them of projection, is it at all possible that you're ACTUALLY guilty of the behavior and YOU are the one who is projecting?
I'm not suggesting that it is true in this case, but it's sort of like the old question "If you were insane, would you know it?"
Liam, who knows it.

Well, I don't know the answer to this one since I'm not a trained psychoanalyst, but I do think they're pathological. Maybe it's just improper toilet training. With Republicans .... they seem to be 'three flushers', if you know what I mean...very full of themselves.

Dunno if anyone here frequents Huffington Post, but on the news section for today they have "Top Five Police Brutality Videos" (highlighting the increasing tendency for people to videotape police abuses and put them on YouTube).
The last one is wonderful, though. It's a cop accidentally tasing himself as he walks away from a perp and two other cops. :-)

Obviously those that get all flustered about it do? EW!
We had a family friend that was a holocaust survivor. He was bald and you could clearly see where his skull was broken (like in four places) and never set.
He didn't tell many stories but he often reflected on a flower that grew just outside the fence. That flower was life and hope. I never looked at flowers the same after that.

If you're talking about me, I actually am, I just try to be REALLY reasonable for the first couple of days, so that when I begin showing my true colors (mauve and taupe), people put up with it longer, thinking I'm just kidding or something. I don't get banned as quickly.
Liam, who would vote for W again if... damn, I can't type that without gagging, even in jest.
Oh not at all good sir. We had troll on das blog earlier today :eyeroll: He actually used the term S-P (secular progressive) just like his obvious hero, Bill-O the Clown.
Mauve and taupe, how restful?

He nor his cohort are my senators. Where's that Steph drop when you need it ? The one that goes something like this: "Don't blame me, I didn't vote for 'em!" Although I did want to inquire when Tom Coburn tried to warn us about giant lesbians in schools - exactly where those schools are? Andrew Rice will give Inhofe a run for his money and if there is any justice in the world he will send Inhofe back to his warmer-than-usual farm in the middle of nowhere Oklahoma :D

Today is the 63rd anniversary of the sinking of the Indianapolis
Quint: Japanese submarine slammed two torpedoes into our side, Chief. We was comin' back from the island of Tinian to Leyte... just delivered the bomb. The Hiroshima bomb. Eleven hundred men went into the water. Vessel went down in 12 minutes. Didn't see the first shark for about a half an hour. Tiger. 13-footer. You know how you know that when you're in the water, Chief? You tell by looking from the dorsal to the tail. What we didn't know, was our bomb mission had been so secret, no distress signal had been sent. They didn't even list us overdue for a week. Very first light, Chief, sharks come cruisin', so we formed ourselves into tight groups. You know, it was kinda like old squares in the battle like you see in the calendar named "The Battle of Waterloo" and the idea was: shark comes to the nearest man, that man he starts poundin' and hollerin' and screamin' and sometimes the shark go away... but sometimes he wouldn't go away. Sometimes that shark he looks right into ya. Right into your eyes. And, you know, the thing about a shark... he's got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll's eyes. When he comes at ya, doesn't seem to be living... until he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white and then... ah then you hear that terrible high-pitched screamin'. The ocean turns red, and despite all the poundin' and the hollerin', they all come in and they... rip you to pieces. You know by the end of that first dawn, lost a hundred men. I don't know how many sharks, maybe a thousand. I know how many men, they averaged six an hour. On Thursday morning, Chief, I bumped into a friend of mine, Herbie Robinson from Cleveland. Baseball player. Boatswain's mate. I thought he was asleep. I reached over to wake him up. Bobbed up, down in the water just like a kinda top. Upended. Well, he'd been bitten in half below the waist. Noon, the fifth day, Mr. Hooper, a Lockheed Ventura saw us. He swung in low and he saw us... he was a young pilot, a lot younger than Mr. Hooper. Anyway, he saw us and he come in low and three hours later a big fat PBY comes down and starts to pick us up. You know that was the time I was most frightened... waitin' for my turn. I'll never put on a lifejacket again. So, eleven hundred men went in the water; 316 men come out and the sharks took the rest, June the 29th, 1945. Anyway, we delivered the bomb.

I'd think folks'd be happy their teenage daughters were fooling around with girls -- no virginity loss/pregnancy risk! But then, when have Americans (in general, now, calm down) ever made sense about their effing sexuality?! Argh.
Okay. Now I'm leaving. Byes.

Judging from the stern male voice and the inappropriate incidental music in the background.......... I'd say its a dire warning to all straight women!
Lock yer daughters!!

OK, looking for something meaningful in the troll scat...
...and after wasting about 20 minutes cutting, pasting and responding to gatrooper and Midnight Rider (what? they're the same guy?
) I realize you should never spend that much time examining bullshit.

Shane-O, if you're lurking here, I had an idea for a montage. How about a collection combining the little girl asking McCain if he was going to raise taxes with our menagerie of Stephie's Kids set to "Teach Your Children Well"?
Just a thought.

I think that was suppose to be stomp, but I dunno. It is some weird slang I've never heard. I think it is the dialect of inbred, close relative effing, banjo picking, web-toed, albino, hemophiliacs from the backwoods of places in the South.

Actually "stomp a mudhole" is a Texas-ism (well, more of a redneck Texas-ism). "Stop a mudhole", I believe involves a rather large rubber plug in a VERY uncomfortable place.

Looks like it was quite the evening on the bloggie. The douchebag known as GeorgiaTrooper/MidnightRider has been permanently banned for creating a sockpuppet to avoid his suspension, in violation of rule C.8.
Threats of physical violence may be reported to his ISP. We'll see...

I am with Capt (ok not REALLY --- just in the way... )
:rofl:
I would like to add, before I head to bed... in the very kindest way I know, that it is not nice to ask people to troll the blog. Those that participate in such behavior are open to banning. Do we all have that clear?
The admins of this blog are not stupid. We will ban... TROLLS are NOT welcome here. Not even if you are wearing a sock and invited by someone else..
to the trolls: THIS IS THE END OF THIS DISCUSSION.
:peace: and :heart:

Goodnite My loverlies.
