The narcissism of Leftist culture — where bad things are never their fault

Tweet I recognize that my mind makes strange, often counter-intuitive connections, but as I hear Progressives rail against guns, I can’t help but think of slut walks. What?!  You don’t know what slut walks are?  Slut walks are the latest manifestation of the feminist/Progressive rule holding that a women has no responsibility whatsoever if she [...]

Random thoughts of an idle mind — and an Open Thread

Tweet Progressives and narcissists share an unpleasant trait:  If you make a mistake, it proves that you and your ideas are inferior; if they make a mistake, it’s just a mistake.  Your mistake is irremediable, because it’s intrinsic to who you are; their mistake is just one of those things, and can be either forcibly [...]

Today hubris – tomorrow, nemesis

Tweet We recognize the narcissism of our Commander-in-Chief. It has been the subject of many an article by his detractors. Here, for example, is a harsh assessment of the depth of his pathological disorder by a purported MD psychiatrist (I say “purported”, because the identity of the author is hidden and therefore cannot be verified): [...]

Is Leftism a personality disorder?

Tweet The following italicized paragraph started out as an observation I made about some ardent liberals of my acquaintance, but I’ve since decided that it applies well to the politics of the Left and the Right or, more accurately, the statist versus the individualist: Conservatives find people to be a source of pleasure and objects [...]

A thought to chew over regarding our President

Tweet I believe Obama is a textbook narcissist — probably malignantly so. The easiest way to think about a narcissist is to understand that each one of them is his own God. Theirs is binary world, with acolytes and enemies. They never lie, as non-narcissists understand a lie, because a narcissist’s truth is defined by [...]

Barack Obama defined

Tweet (With apologies to Winston Churchill.) The current state of rumor and innuendo about a president who has no past other than that which he grudgingly doles out, creating a tabula rasa on which we can write our own impressions, leads me to this conclusion:  Barack Obama is a bisexual riddle wrapped in a Muslim [...]

A compendium of Obama’s narcissism

Tweet Victor Davis Hanson has put together an alphabetized list of Obama’s targets, everything from the American people generally, to black people, to grandmothers, to, of course, George Bush.  He notes correctly that this list transcends ideology or even political enemies.  In Obama’s world, few things or people measure up, and he’s not shy about [...]

The dangers that come with Obama’s unleashing the mob, plus a side trip into Obama’s narcissism

Tweet Charles Krauthammer has one of his best articles ever, regarding Obama’s class warfare.  He notes, too, that it’s easier to unleash than to control the mob.  Here’s a sample, but I think you should read the whole thing — and then send it to people you know: After three years, Obama’s self-proclaimed transformative social [...]

The narcissistic delusions of Leftists *UPDATED*

Tweet Can I say that an entire political ideology is narcissistic?  Because I’d really like to say that about Leftism, a political movement that sometimes seems like the textbook definition of narcissism.  Although the DSM is a highly political book, it’s still the starting point for any diagnosis of narcissism: The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual [...]

Obama’s self love *UPDATED*

Tweet Yesterday, the blogosphere was abuzz with Arkansas Rep. Marion Berry’s story about Barack Obama’s assurance to him that the Democrats wouldn’t have to follow Bill Clinton’s 1994 model and pull to the center.  Why not?  Because, said Obama, “the big difference here and in ’94 was you’ve got me.“  I was not at all [...]

Islam, the control freak religion — or, rule by narcissists

Tweet I’ve come to the conclusion that there are two types of control freaks in this world:  those who prize self-control and those who try to control others.  I fall in the former category.  I often fall short of the mark, but I consider myself a self-improvement work in progress.  I may drive myself crazy, [...]

It isn’t hard to predict a narcissist’s behavior

Tweet On October 22, 2008, I wrote this: The MSM has been remarkably cavalier about Joe Biden’s bizarre statement regarding the “fact” that America will be attacked six months into a Barack Obama presidency and that people will be shocked and disappointed by Obama’s response (meaning that he’ll either collapse in a sobbing heap, thereby [...]

Anorexic and narcissistic? Our president’s a walking DSM.

Tweet Yes, that is a mean post caption, but I wanted to capture your attention.  First, I truly believe that Barack Obama is a clinical narcissist.  This is something I’ve been saying for over a year, and more and more people are starting to chime in.  I know narcissists first hand, so I know one [...]

Obama personalizes the political

Tweet Almost since he first appeared on the scene, I’ve hammered relentlessly away on Obama’s narcissism, a personality disorder that places him at the center of his own universe, with everyone person and nation ranked by whether he, she or it makes him look good or makes him look bad.  (Which is why the friend [...]

Ayers’ life was a just a joyous, misunderstood frolic

Tweet I have to admit to screaming with laughter when I finally got around to Bill Ayers’ short-form autobiography for the New York Times, one that sees him classifying himself as just a joyous idealist, frolicking through the 1960s and 1970s — a Dennis the Menace for his times, all good intentions and humorously bad [...]

The giveaway that Obama is scarily self-involved

Tweet I thought this snippet of a comment from Lulu at my post regarding Obama’s narcissism was so good it deserved to be highlighted: McCain is not a narcissist. Can you imagine anyone gushing that “he is the one” around him or a member of the media announcing a “chill up his leg”? McCain would [...]

I’m not the only one who thinks Obama is a clinical narcissist

Tweet Thanks to 11B40 for leaving a link in a comment to an article called Understanding Obama : The Making of a Fuehrer.  It’s long, but it nicely covers the personality cult that has formed about Obama and the narcissistic personality at the center of the cult.  The article’s author, Ali Sina, has good reason [...]

When narcissists attack

Tweet Much has been made today — and deservedly so — of the fact that the Obama campaign has tried to shut down both Stanley Kurtz’s investigations into his work on Chicago’s Annenberg Challenge with Bill Ayers and to silence any discussion about the results of those investigations.  When the Obama campaign heard that Kurtz [...]

In his own mind, things probably haven’t changed *UPDATED*

Tweet Karl Rove has written a tidy little summary of Obama’s dizzying changes on Iraq:* Throughout 2006 and early 2007, Mr. Obama pledged to remove all U.S. troops, even voting to immediately cut off funds for the troops while they were in combat. Then, in July 2007, he started talking about leaving a residual U.S. [...]

The audacity of narcissism

Tweet Everybody’s talking about it and no wonder.  “It,” in this case, is today’s Charles Krauthammer article dissecting Obama’s staggering self-involvement and recognizably clinical narcissism.  The article is a tour de force insofar as it highlights the worst of Obama’s egotism.  I’ll help out just a little here by providing a list of the clinical [...]
