Something you knew

But didn’t have the numbers on. And now that you will, it will probably frighten you just a bit. Justifiably.

Everybody knows that the media and academia lean left. But these elites are bipartisan wafflers when compared with psychologists who donate roughly 21 times as much to Democratic candidates and political action committees than Republican ones. According to Opensecrets.org, psychologists gave 526 donations worth $499,982 to Democratic causes and candidates in the ’04 and ’06 cycles and the ’08 cycles to date. In contrast, the shrinks opened their wallets to Republicans only 43 times, and gave just $22,255. Maybe that explains why some conservatives prefer prayer to psychotherapy.

As a commenter Eric of Classical Values notes in the comments there

Considering that the profession is overwhelmingly left wing, I would assume that most psychologists favor gun control. Not to sound paranoid, but this makes me wonder whether they might be quick to label gun owners as less than mentally fit. (With predictable, lifelong consequences to their patients’ right to keep and bear arms.)
