That some of you want to support and admire such insanity, I do not understand.
Just because somebody questions the "authority" of the arm chair psychoanalyst quoted above doesn't mean that they support and admire Bush's insanity. It's rather obvious that something is wrong with the old boy, but for this "professional" to make such a judgment without ever meeting him is absurd.
Rob,

Not really, there is enough in his public appearences and thru the contents of his speahes, and answers to the press to show signs of what is going on inside his head or how he thinks. Add to the fact that many former associates have revealed things about his nature both while president and before, can give a well trained professional many clues as to the nature of his thinking and backround. And as you said:" it is rather obvious something is wrong with the old boy".

I beg to differ. There is a difference in public and private personality. Until this psychoanalyst has had a chance to have private therapy sessions with Bush, he shouldn't be shooting off his mouth in such a public medium. Not very professional of him if you ask me.

It may not be very professional of him, but he is not doing it in treatment of a patient, so that he has to follow some patient and doctor ethics, he is merely writting a book that expresses his opinion based on years of experience in dealling with personality disorders. Sigmond Frued did that with high profile public figures too, they were insightful, and based on what was public knowedge even though they were never a patient of his and therefore not subject to doctor patient confidentiality.
Generally do not like quoting others as I've done already on this thread; but sometimes there are those whose expression is so perfectly said.
Here is another:
"He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would fully suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, senseless brutality, deplorable love-of-country stance, how violently I hate all this, how despicable an ignorable war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action! It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder." -- Albert Einstein
Edited to add:
The Iraq war was most certainly ignorable. The blood of everyone who has died and been injured in that war, stinks on George W. Bush, no less than if he had cut their throats himself. It is difficult to come up with actions more insane.
JT,
I always like that quote of Albert's. If enough people were "enlightened" about how governments use propaganda, and thought for themselves instead of believing all the horse shit that gets shoveled in thier brains, world leaders would have to change, and then quite naturally the world would change too.
It is sorta like critical mass, onces enough people see thru the crap it no longer works. I really do feel the numbers are getting bigger, and we have more free thinkers today than 40 or 50 years ago. Maybe the internet may be a force for change in the human world view being that so much more info is availible now at ones finger tips than a few decades ago.
Yes, Frankie, hopefully you are correct.
I would like to add that personally there is no hatred here for anyone. In fact I feel certain that Bush thinks his course is the best for his country and the world. It is ill conceived cultures of the mind, dangerous patterns of thought, that I am addressing here.

Right, and I totally agree, just because you see thru certain politcal agendas does not imply hatered.
To me the world is the way it is because of the hated of people that have different view, and so the accumilative hatred in the collective human consciousness (or unconsciousness) finds its expression in wars. We put hate into the world by what we think and intention(even if not expressed outside our minds), when we stop hating we no longer put hate into the world. If enough people stop hating and instead have compassion as a dominate intention we reach a critical mass and the world changes.
We agree again. Perhaps we should start dating.
It seem we all identify way to much with thoughts; especially religious and political colored ones. So if thoughts are too different we feel a total isolation and separation from that person; totally oblivious to our inherent and far more significant -- unity.
