- The mainstream GOP is not conservative. Jeb Bush: ‘I would govern like Lyndon Johnson’. I think I understand the appeal. Politically and economically naïve. (Over budget? Let’s print more money!) Idealists in the golden era thought they could use the government to solve social problems. Did their solution undermine the culture that made them good?
- Let me get this straight: Chuck Hagel must be defeated by the Israel lobby to refute his charge that the lobby is too powerful.
- The government can’t avoid default.

The Bush family is moderate to slightly left of center. Remember the Bush criticism of Presidential Candidate Reagan's "vodoo economics?" Not saying that Reagan's economic plan was so good. Reagan talked conservative but spent taxpayer dollars like a Democrat.

I don't know either. It is my perception that PTSD is the result of basically decent folks going through a horrific experience--e.g., war, being raped, being (violently) mugged, surviving a violent tornado that kills family/friends and or injures them and you, etc. Sociopaths in my opinion do not routinely suffer from PTSD. I suspect that there are sociopaths in the U.S. military--there always have been including in our larger society--and they come through the violent experience of war just fine (i.e., with their sociopathology intact and fully functional).
