Authoritarian? Anyone?

You've seen dependent personality disorders, narcissistic personality disorders, borderline personality disorders. You think these people have made your life hard!

Wait until you encounter authoritarian personality disorder whose first demand is unquestioning obedience and trust in his declarations/delusions "Mission Accomplished" "Rich people need money too" and "I'm for Democracy." "I've never made any mistakes." "Stay the course." "Eat your dinner."

Deaf to criticism, blind to reality, authoritarian personality disorder believes in the use of force and the force of repetition to get his point through our thick numbskulls. He believes, truly that he is infallible. See especially transcript of W.'s April 13, 2004 press conference.

But W. is not alone: his techniques work because well, we've been prepared for the authoritarian personality disorder. Many people suffering from authoritarian personality disorder are highly successful and live to obscure the truth of their worthiness.I think intelligent people on the right identify with Karl Rove Bush's Brain As servant to the body of authoritarianism, you can really get AHEAD.
