Let’s see.... Next comes O’Bummer’s paranoia. Isn’t that the pathway of a narcissist?

Here is an interesting excerpt from a web site on cults. It helps you understand the democrat party.

“The discussion specifically about the definition of a destructive cult is premised upon a definition provided by psychiatrist Robert Jay Lifton. Lifton’s definition [III] is precise and objective, based upon the behavior of the group rather than its beliefs.

Lifton states that “Cults can be identified by three characteristics:

a charismatic leader who increasingly becomes an object of worship as the general principles that may have originally sustained the group lose their power;
a process I call coercive persuasion or thought reform;
economic, sexual, and other exploitation of group members by the leader and the ruling coterie.”
The first criterion is that the group can be seen as essentially personality-driven. That is, defined by a living and totalitarian leader. He or she is the focus of the group and its driving force. Whatever he or she says is right is right and whatever he or she says is wrong is wrong. Members of the group therefore ultimately abdicate their ability to make many value judgments of their own in deference to the leader.”

Herman Cain and his logical strategic thinking appears to be an excellent cult deprogrammer. I would love to see him and O’Bummer in a debate!

Next comes O’Bummer’s paranoia.

I'm sure that's already in full bloom. It's obvious he thinks Republicans are out to get him. No doubt he also suspicious of all the Democrats who aren't supporting him. And, then there's Hillary. Even the mention of her name has to grate on him. I'd love to be a fly on the wall in the White Hut. Narcissist watching can be an amusing hobby.
