Why the GOP is the Party of Choice for Sociopaths and Psychopaths

The growing disconnect between the Right Wing and reality is becoming disturbing. With the help of the Supreme Court's unconstitutional ruling in Citizens United, they know that they have access to virtually unlimited amounts of cash and can run fraudulent attack ads 24 hours a day. This has freed them from any sense of obligation to tell the voters the truth, to honestly set forth where they stand on the issues and why. And money works. As the Wisconsin recall proved, when you have enough money you can buy any election, and even convince large number of voters to support positions directly against their own interests. Studies have proven that the less intelligent a person is, the more likely they are to support conservative ideology. Other studies have confirmed that those who view Fox as a "news" source are the most misinformed people in America, less aware than people who watch no news source at all. And the uneducated misinformed voter has become the Right Wing base.

Why the GOP is the Party of Choice for Sociopaths and Psychopaths

“[O]utlaw the practice of witchcraft and Satanism in the US military, lest we offend the God of Heaven.”

- John Hagee

“But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods or no God. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.”

- Thomas Jefferson

The Republican Party has become the party of choice for sociopaths and psychopaths. By now it should be more than obvious why this is true. Sure, these people are going to have problems regardless, but conservatives are more than happy to supply them with ammo, both literally and figuratively.

Do I even have to write an article after providing the very different quotes given above? Okay, I suppose I do. But rather than talk about bullets and guns laws and “Second Amendment remedies”, I am going to talk about the hate that pulls the trigger. Let’s be up front about this: most of what I want to say I can’t put into print. But let me take a deep breath and try.

John Hagee clearly needs a refresher course in American history and in particular the Constitution. Likely, if he reads anything it was written by David Barton or by somebody equally ignorant and dishonest.

To make matters worse, Hagee told atheists to get out of America “if our belief in God offends you.” What happened to turning the other cheek? Isn’t that what Hagee is supposed to do according to his professed belief in his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ? If he wants to be like Jesus, what he should have said was, “We’ll turn the other cheek if our belief in God offends you.” I won’t even get into how he missed the boat on the whole “love your enemy” thing.

I read the Bible. I’m pretty sure that’s in there.

It’s safe to say nobody knows hate like John Hagee, perhaps not even Brian Fischer. John Hagee is the guy who went on record as saying hate is the only way to save America. He’s apparently still serious about it. And of course, he is the guy who said that God allowed Hitler to kill millions of Jews to give them the needed nudge to go back to Israel. And yes, Hagee is the same guy who said God tried to destroy New Orleans with a flood because he hates gays and lesbians and that God kills birds when he throws a temper tantrum. This is what Hagee calls taking “America and the world back to the God of our Father, asserting all the while that it makes him “America’s preacher.”

A better name for it would be destroying America.
