Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
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
Continue readingYesterday, 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
Continue readingI’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
Continue readingOn 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
Continue readingYes, 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,
Continue readingAlmost 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
Continue readingI 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
Continue readingI 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
Continue readingThanks 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
Continue readingMuch 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
Continue readingKarl 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
Continue readingEverybody’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
