Is there a connection between sexual repression & global domination?
I've always wondered, about Adolph Hitler in particular, but other world conquerers too. Why do they want to conquer the known world and plant flags everywhere? Are they overcompensating for feeling powerless and tiny?

And Senator Notgay, so repressed, so angry at gays, so angry at liberals, so intent on conquering the middle east and torturing millions to death, why are republicans and Napoleons so god damned repressed and warlike?

The repubs have the market cornered on sexual repression, living double lives, hypocrisy, and a tendency to want to kill people by the thousands and take their stuff. I'm starting to suspect that half of the republicans are closeted, married but gay men, who enjoy playing God and soldier vicariously.

Does extreme sexual repression lead to extreme war-like behavior, or do they just go hand in hand? Or have I read too much Freud?

1. Interesting Theory, But If you Are Correct, All I Can Surmise Is
that Barbara Bush gave out more than Laura and any Whitehouse visitors do. And my take on Hitler's relationship with his girlfriend is that he was the one holding out or unable,

2. I think that you're right on target...
What is all boils down to for most of these neocon, warmongering thugs--is the desperate
need to control and dominate--because they feel so out of control and dominated by their
own demons.

I think most of these people are psychopaths. Whatever is going on in their own heads has
caused a great deal of internal rage. Instead of pulling inward and dealing with their
own pain and trauma--they act out--causing pain and trauma to others.

Being so externally focused allows them to ignore their core issues. Abusing others feeds
their denial and provides them an endless supply of distractions.

Internal anger about their own homosexuality, abuse in their childhoods, being raised by
psychopaths---any of these things can cause this internal struggle.

Normal, rational, sane people do not kill other people. These warmongers are no better
than Jeffrey Dahmer or Charles Manson. They attempt to legitimize their pathology while
working in government and in the military. However, they're still psychopathic serial
killers.

Unfortunately, they're in charge of our country.

5. Great post
I always wondered if impotence made them seek other outlets to dominate. Indeed I even hoped Viagra would reduce their anxiety level and spare humanity.

8. Viagra won't help you get laid
IOW, what good is it having lead in your pencil if you've got no one to write to?

7. I think you can add sexual poweress to the things bush
is short in. He hasn't done one thing correct since he was born. How he fathered the twins is a mystery. But look at the outcome of that and we see he missed the target with one.

9. You've read too much Freud.
Freudian "psychology" is a load of BS. It's right up there with Astrology in the Woo & Pseudoscience Department.
