“With regard to psychopaths, “We think the ‘uhs’ and ‘ums’ are about putting the mask of sanity on,” Hancock told LiveScience.”

The author uses the term psychopaths, but describes sociopaths. I looked them up and turns out there are no differences. Seeing people in terms of sociopathy instead of terms of psychopathy makes identification much easier. Sociopaths have no empathy. They fake empathy when it suits them. They live to manipulate and even if you know what they are and what they’re doing they can make you feel buoyant after just a short conversation; if that is their goal.

The author’s premise that he can spot psychopaths (sociopaths) based on speech patterns is plane idiocy. He studied the patterns of men already in prison. Does he contend that he can spot somebody in the general populace based on their use of “I’s,” or “uhms” or “uhs.” He needs to read “The Sociopath Next Door” to learn that not every sociopath is evil; just that they’re there. They manipulate without regard to hurting feelings. Sociopaths constitute 10% of the population and as a population exhibit a bell curve for intelligence and evil. The author may be trying to develop a consulting practice to sell his magic spot-the-psychopath elixir to anybody foolish enough to buy it.

Sociopathy most likely developed as a survival trait. They were the ones who would charge and kill invading tribesmen. Non-sociopaths find it almost impossible to kill, even in self-defense.

Most who voted for obama knew he was a cold, heartless, anti-God and arrogant person. I think he has a direct line with satan himself. ANYTHING God says is wrong, he is for. I'm sure we could add many things to the list below.

Abortion up to 9 months in the womb. He votes for it & gets campaign contributions from abortion providers. Deuteronomy 27:25 “Cursed is anyone who accepts a bribe to kill an innocent person.”

Homosexuality. Now he has taken a sacred union, marriage, that God gave us and perverted it. Roman 1:24- 27 “Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen. Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.”

Theft (taking working people's money and giving it to non-working to get votes). Thessalonians 3:10 “For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat.”

Obama has consistently refused to support legislation that would define an infant who survives a late-term induced-labor abortion as a human being with the right to live. He insists that no restriction must ever be placed on the right of a mother to decide to abort her child.
On March 30, 2001, Obama was the only Illinois senator who rose to speak against a bill that would have protected babies who survived late term labor-induced abortion. Obama rose to object that if the bill passed, and a nine-month-old fetus survived a late-term labor-induced abortion was deemed to be a person who had a right to live, then the law would “forbid abortions to take place.” Obama further explained the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment does not allow somebody to kill a child, so if the law deemed a child who survived a late-term labor-induced abortion had a right to live, “then this would be an anti-abortion statute.”

Four times, Barack Obama voted to oppose a law to protect babies left to die after a failed abortion.

During the 1992 election, a psychologist that evaluated prisoners as to their mental state, told me it was his opinion that Bill Clinton was a sociopath and Hillary was a psychopath. Hillary flat out scared the crap out of this guy.
