This man is not only mentally unstable, he uses the Delphi Technique to control. This Bushism, of You're either with us or against us, is clearly the Delphi at its best(or worst).. What a person who is under his thumb should do or at least to be true to his soul, is walk away from him, his Tyranny, and his ideology. It is simple, it is a choice... we make choices every nano second of our day, what we think, what we do, how we react, what we eat, and it all goes out there. One thing that has become abundandtly clear. The Lot of Them should be fired as our employees. A madman at the helm who is clearly in contempt of all things Canadian, our Constitution, and Canadians cannot continue to wreak havoc and sell us all out for his own gain. I'm a great beleiver in Karma/Darma.. what ye reap, so shall ye sow.. Good Luck, Harperius!

Excellent article and sooo insightful. Thank You, you shed light for me and now we have a good understanding of what we are dealing with in Canada. That non-partisan psych evaluations should be mandatory on anyone in the future of running for PMO office again.

The assumption that he is omniscient and omnipotent, the tight-lipped anger when anyone hints he is not, the thoroughly inappropriate chastisement of other nations for not agreeing with his positions on economics and climate change--even his showing off of his rather limited skills as a musician. But beyond all that, I see a tendency towards sadism: just watch his expression as he announced in Davos (of all places!) that he would be breaking his word on the Old Age Security programme, or on occasions when he talks to or about countries with more progressive social views, or when he deigns to give the press an evasive non-answer to a question. The German word Schadenfreude perfectly describes what appears to give him the greatest pleasure: one can see it quite clearly in the way he smiles at the suffering of others. Simple narcissistic personality disorder does not usually include that component, and paranoid personality disorder does not usually include the opinion that one's sins will never catch up with one. It seems possible to me that we are dealing here with a more complex condition in which sociopathy may well play a part.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132285364476136531.post-79309852122901238702012-04-07T23:39:11.408-04:002012-04-07T23:39:11.408-04:00It's a good fit and well argued, but I was exp...It's a good fit and well argued, but I was expecting you to go for Narcissistic Personlity Disorder. I'm still stuck on the question of WTF was he thinking with these outrageous behaviours, and in particular he should have thought to himself "what will the AG say?" It seems he really hasn't thought that through in advance. This is the first time someone has caught him in a fraud where he hasn't immediately retaliated with a vindictive personal attack, so he apparently doesn't have a response. Apparently he completely ignored any thought of consequence - staggering - just arrogantly expecting to get away with it - a haughty narcissist.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
