Dr. Phil a man with the PHD said they were criminals to the United States of America. Building NEO-NAZISM, NEO_CON, white supremacy, bigotry through out America is not being American, but an enemy of America and the people. This present Dictatorship needs to stand down, and the Conservative criminals should be imprisoned or deported to the Iraq front to fight the war they started. They are sociopaths & psycopaths that is the diagnosis.

Oooh this is a good question. Let's just say that a Neocon is sort of a like a dog in that he only sees in Black and White. The Neocon has no use for debate or dialogue. It's his way or the highway.\n\nToday's Neocons really believe that we are under grave threat, but they don't have the time or inclination to understand why and what we could do to pull the  "barb from the eye of our enemy". \n\nYou know a lot of people walk around with their smart alecky -- WWJD, but you know what they don't want the answer, because he wasn't a Neocon. \n\nHere's the truly funny thing about today's Neocons. It used to be that they shored up despotic governments friendly to American Business interests and couldn't care less if human rights were violated, because Neocons don't give a rip about that stuff. That's for Liberals to worry about. But today the Neocons go on and on about Spreading Freedom...the world must be off it's axis because today's Neocons sound more like Liberals than Liberals. Spreading freedom...since when did a Neocon ever really care about that??\n\nSecurity is what they worship...not freedom.\n\nOf course this answer comes from an unapologetic Liberal, so you have to take it with a grain of salt...I mean what do I know what goes on in the mind of a Neocon and truthfully, I hope I never find out.

luckily you cannot catch this disease since its a mental illness....removing it is a bit trickier... since they actually believe they know whats best for the rest of the world and cannot accept the fact that most people disagree with them as evidenced by the last two elections... they enjoy making up   what they consider catchy phrases such as fascist neo con Nazi  etc, and spreading propaganda  even if it  endangers  the country they live in...which they claim to love but  act like they hate....so though you may not be able to cure them... their symptoms are so  prominent, that it is easy to avoid them...

With a tinge of moral/imperial hubris?, I'm not certain. My diagnosis would be Narcissistic personality disorder and Shared psychotic disorder with "Dead Eye" Dick.

In John Dean's latest book, "Conservatives Without Conscience," he discusses years and years of psychological research into the minds of conservatives.\n\nWhile they are not mentally "ill," they do posess mostly negative personality traits. This is something I have been aware of for many years of simple contact and observation.\n\nAnd no, Bush is not senile. He is a stupid, evil man.

Assuming you are not some kind of fanatic, you might find it interesting to look into the work of Thomas Szasz and R.D. Laing.  These two took a radical view of psychiatry, psychology, and mental health in general that strongly criticized the medical model applied in these fields.  They believe that mental illness is a cultural construct rather than a disease, and that psychiatrists essentially practice a poorly conceived form of mind control intended to pacify social deviants.  As I said, they were radicals and never attracted many adherents among mental health professionals.  But their ideas were plausible at least, and they should be read by anyone with a serious interest in the theory and practice of mental illness treatment.\n\nAlso assuming you are not a crank, you might take note of the fact that millions of people have been helped by psychiatric pharmacotherapy, beginning with Thorazine, Haldol, tricyclic and MAO inhibitor antidepressants, and other side effect-ridden agents, on up to the current generation of SSRI's (e.g. Zoloft), atypical antipsychotic agents (e.g. Zyprexa), and mood stabilizers (e.g. Depakote and Klonopin) which are more effective and produce fewer side effects than earlier medications.  \n\nThere is at least one valid criticism of current psychiatric practice, and that is that it relies exclusively on biological models and treatment methods for mental illness.    Most psychiatrists today do little more than monitor their patients' medication(s).  They have relegated "talk" therapy to psychologists and social workers, who are also able to achieve good results with millions of people whose problems cannot be and are not solved completely by medications.\n\nI think you are probably a crank though.  Slow down, take it easy, and do some reading.  You don't need to be fighting a war.

I just wanted to comment to MrMiyagi that the asker equated alcoholics, drug addicts, and depression to mental illness. Not lack of spirituality

People here are dancing around this question...the vast majority of LIHOP/MIHOP (acronyms for Let It Happen On Purpose and/or Made It Happen On Purpose) are left wing scum bags who think Bush is both a moron and an evil genius.  How's that for schizophrenia.  I've seen this on the liberal blogs, I've seen it on Daily Kos, I've seen it Democratic Underground and I've heard whack-jobs Randi Rhodes & Cynthia McKinney assert that the Bush administration colluded on the 9/11 attacks.  When you hear this garbage, it won't be from those on the right...the libertarians maybe, but those guys think Area 51 is a staging area for space aliens who want to take over the Post Office, but I digress....

Yes, it seems that neo-cons are concrete operational thinkers and that liberals are abstract.  People who are the former tend to have thier whole lives planned out, are settled, and even when facts are presented they chose to stick with the traditional viewpoint (no matter how wrong) and they also do what they are told without question.  Neo-cons do not question authoristy, rather, they act as apoligists to any half-baked idea the government throws at them.  Neo-cons are the rich elite's dream come true - namely, middle class, often working poor "americans" who cannot understand the methods of thier own exploitation by the elite class and who are more than willing to blame, cannabalize and work against thier fellow people.  Some think they are rich, they live on the credit of the elite, and pay debts monthly to maintain dignity in some distorted way.  The fact of the matter is, they are truely fools, and thier societal place goes far back in history.  Neo-cons have always been around... they worship Machiavelli and pander to power (that works against them ultimately) just as he did.  \n\nThere should be a diagnosis for such people - Neo-Conservative Personality Disorder.\n\nthe treatment could be some cognitive enhancement therapy such as reading just one Noam Chomsky book... but they won't and if they do they can't understand it for the above mentioned reasons.
