    They are an unusual species; living in a world of their own , free from fact and reason. They thrive among their own and all others are enemies.

    A stark and CHILLING reality BB Idaho.

    It does explain the reason for my own movement away from the conservative movement and the Republican party over a period of years. I've become happier and more settled as a result.

    I'm not sure I understand how that all explains the hypocrisy, lies, irrationality, and stupidity of their policies and decisions.

    Certainly Trump's mind goes beyond the four traits you listed and the author explained. Trump is much more a psychotic than those traits could be responsible for.

    Could a deep level of these negative traits produce the absence of reality in Republican's thinking, that they have proven they live in?

    Other negative traits like selfishness and greed must be added to make policies and decisions so harmful to the American people. The ability to deny reality must be present to deny obvious realities like global climate change, or that a trade war will be very harmful to America.

    I think it boils down to some primary drivers, irrational self interest, greed (which is a direct result of long term irrational self interest), and fear of losing socio economic superiority.

    There are three separate, although somewhat connected, issues here.
    1. Who is Trump? Russian operative?
    2. Who are Republican politicians? Self-serving opportunists?
    3. Who are Trump supporters? Government haters only interested in disruption of the status quo?

    It has long been said that destruction of democracy will come from within rather than from outside. Are we at the beginnings of that?

    Are we living in Orwellian times, where 'doublethink' and 'doubletalk' are not only rampant, but successful? “Drain the swamp” - replace professionals in the government agencies with business
    buddies and big contributors. The swamp is gone, replaced by vapid toxic desert of enthusiastic yes-men. Shred the “Deep State”. Replaced by a shallow state a glitzy propaganda machine which
    supports nothing, (except to grasp and hold power) to the dismay of the rest of the world and the satisfaction of our enemies. Yet, as this process proceeds, it is suported by 68% of a hapless polticial party. A party of former great principle turned into nodding lapdogs. The 'how' is obvious – the 'why' unexplainable. Then as I flipped through TV channels, an elderly sage replied to the question (and I paraphrase) “ For starters, there needs to be a national investigation to determine how many of us were dropped on our heads in our early youth.”

      BB: I think a swap in which all possible water volume is replaced with toothy slimy alligators is "drained" in a way, right?

      Sadly BB I think, wait, I absolutely know the answers to your opening questions are yes.

      Trump has conned a significant segment of our nation and because of our system he is able to successfully change our country in a reactionary direction for a couple of generations if not forever.

      tRump must go. 2018 and 2020 will be critical.

Our Biggest Creditor {China} Tells Us "The good old days of borrowing are over"

( Reuters ) - Global leaders on Saturday arranged a round of emergency calls to discuss the twin debt crises in Europe and the United States that are causing turmoil in financial markets . After a week that saw $2.5 trillion wiped off global stock markets, they are under pressure to show political leadership and reassure markets that Western governments have both the will and ability to reduce their huge and growing public debt loads. French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who chairs the G7/G20 group of leading economies, conferred with Britain's Prime Minister David Cameron ahead of a call planned for this weekend by G7 finance ministers and central bankers. "They discussed the euro area and the U.S. debt downgrade. Both agreed the importance of working together, monitoring the situation closely ...

When and How Will it End?

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Birthplace of Independent Conservatism This is America. We are an English speaking nation. We have distinct and traditional American cultural values. We have some Americans in our population who have difficulty speaking a coherent sentence. We have many who cannot construct a complete and proper sentence. Yet we find the time and the money to educate youth in Arabic and Arabic culture. Mind you this is a Federal Grant program and limited to only five select school districts. At least for now. At a cost of 1.3 millions dollars students on these select district will be required,  you heard {read} right, required as mandatory part of their curriculum to learn Arabic.

Thoughts On the Civil War and What Precipitated It...

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation U S A Purveyor of Truth Over at Contra O'Reilly Will Hart has been running a interesting series on the Civil War and what the primary causes were. Historians continue to disagree with the root, or primary causes. However it is generally accepted among knowledgeable and unbiased experts that slavery had very little to do with the onset of the War Between the States. Causes were primarily economic and constitutional. Will, in his posts has done a good job of pointing this out with supporting documentation. This site offers the following, a July 2013 article by David Hirsch in support of Will Hart's arguments. Arguments this site wholly concurs with. Arthur Hirsch's recent article about the Battle of Gettysburg reveals a disturbing ignorance of the political dynamics that brought this nation to a war that 150 years later remains the most cataclysmic event in our history ("A defining day relived," July 2). It accepts the sh...
