personality disorder.

His works are timely - perhaps a little on the late side. I agree with him that today's
so-called Republican Party has become a home for sociopaths, psychopaths and people with antisocial personality disrder. What the corporatists, neocons, libertarians and
teabaggers offer are as attractive to the psychopaths as dung is attractive to flies.
The psychopaths finally have found people who welcome them like long lost
brothers. They've finally found their true home where they feel accepted as one of
their own.

It's well past the time that the average American should understand what having too many psychopaths holding high positions in government as well as private industry really
means for our whole nation.

What Dr. Hare has published is informative, and quite thorough. And his studies
are on-going. They are by no means over.

It's up to us to keep ourselves informed of what they have already done to our nation, and
intend to have more in store for us -- if we allow them to.
