are neocons. Dick Cheney finds it convenient to act as if he were a neocon, although he's mostly only a greedhead. Junior Bush, Karl Rove, and that whole bunch are opportunistic psychopathic politicians. And when I use the word "psychopath," I mean something very specific. They are amoral, incapable of empathy, use aggressive behavior instrumentally to get what they want, enjoy the suffering of their victims, and--on a neurological level--probably display a classic vagal suppression response in which parasympathetic autonomic responses kick in & suppress their heart rate, GSR & other peripheral arousal mechanisms, thereby producing an inward calm while they outwardly appear to be raging and out of control.
