Long post but worth reading !!
====================================
We all agree that these phrases by Mr. Bush are ignorant and self-centered, but what people miss to see in these phrases , are themes of dangerous mental disorders like Generalized Organizational Psychosis (GOP) and bipolar disorder !!
_____________________________________________________________
"In studying the Bush regime over the past several years I’ve noticed recurring themes in their statements, themes that are characteristic of people suffering from psychological ailments such as bipolar disorder (also called manic-depression). For example, people with a bipolar disorder often project their actions onto others and accuse others of doing what they themselves have done. They live in denial, refusing to acknowledge or accept responsibility for their own actions, and instead accuse others of the very same acts that they have committed. This type of denial and projection occurs frequently in the Bush administration, and it is not limited to just president Bush. Often making hypocritical statements and wrongly accusing others of doing what they themselves have done.

This is not the first time that president Bush has exhibited the GOP neurosis when discussing Russia, it was also apparent when he accused Russian president Putin of consolidating power in response to threats of terrorism. Since the 9/11 attacks the Bush administration has taken unprecedented (and often illegal and unconstitutional) steps to subvert the American system of checks and balances and consolidate more power than ever before in the executive branch and the office of the president. Some of Bush’s actions in this regard have been nothing short of stunning, the kind of tyrannical measures that one might expect from a repressive despot devoid of respect for human rights. For example, Bush has claimed that he has the right to take American citizens, strip them of all legal rights, ship them off to an island, torture them, and hold them indefinitely with no charges, no legal representation, and no due process, all during peacetime. In essence, Bush has asserted that he is above all law (and above the Constitution) and that he has the right to treat anyone that he chooses as a non-person, at his whim, without justification or recourse for the victim. This is the antithesis of the kind of behavior that is expected from the self-proclaimed “leader of the free world.”

Some readers may say that such measures can be justified because the US is at war, fighting Bush’s so-called “war on terror,” but I will refer those readers to Article 1, Sec. 8(11) of the US Constitution, which clearly states that only Congress, not the president, has the power to declare war. Congress has not declared war since World War II, and therefore the United States is not “at war.” For president Bush to claim that “war powers” give him the right to do what he has done means that he is either ignorant of the Constitution or he is deliberately lying. Regardless of the reason, Bush’s actions clearly violate the very Constitution that he swore to uphold and defend. Thankfully, the US Supreme Court has defended the Constitution against Bush’s attack, again asserting the fundamental concept of “inalienable rights” that the founders of our country believed “all men” inherently have and which no government has the right to take away. However, with Bush’s ongoing efforts to fill the courts with ideologues who place their personal agenda before the good of the country and mankind, the victory may be short-lived.
____________________________________________________________

A review of general information about psychological disorders reveals many other behaviors which are frequently seen in the current Republican organization. If you’ve been paying attention to what Bush and his crew have been up to over the past several years you’ll easily recognize the following behaviors:



a) An exaggerated feeling of self-importance, self-centeredness that manifests itself through a me-first, self-preoccupied attitude.
b) Being extravagant, spending vast amounts of money and accumulating large debts.
c) Having grandiose plans for obtaining power and wealth, usually delusional.
d) Perceiving threats that are exaggerated or nonexistent, difficulty trusting or believing others, inability to get along with others, acting threatening and hostile toward other
e) Manipulative and exploitative behavior, deceiving and manipulating others for their own personal gain.
f) Socially maladaptive, changing the rules of the game or otherwise influencing the external world to conform to their own needs.
g) Disregarding and violating the rights of others, lack of empathy, inability to see the viewpoints of others.
h) Lack of awareness that their actions are distressing or even harmful to others, denial that there is anything unusual about their behavior.
i) Unwillingness to accept responsibility for their own actions, blaming others for things that go wrong, responding with indifference when confronted with their actions, having a victim mentality.
j) Poor judgment, loss of touch with reality, being irrational.
k) Continuing to hold false beliefs in spite of compelling contradictory evidence.
l) Lack of respect for legal standards or the law, committing illegal acts.

>>>>> President Bush and his administration have exhibited all of these traits in abundance. Indeed, while researching the characteristics of psychological disorders for this article I couldn’t help but feel like I was reading a “How-To” guide to the Bush/Rove/neocon way of governing.
