Jobs for psychopaths

You might think someone you work with has psychopathic tendencies, but the chances are you're wrong.

The prevalence of psychopaths in the general public is around 1 percent, making it unlikely that you are working with one or a group of psychopaths.

But certain professions are more likely to attract psychopaths than others because of the nature and skills required to do the job successfully, according to an AOL story.

Psychologist Kevin Dutton wrote in his book The Wisdom of Psychopaths: What Saints, Spies, and Serial Killers Can Teach Us About Success about certain job fields that attract psychopaths.

The following jobs have the highest rate of psychopaths, according to Dutton's research:

1. Chief Executive Officer
2. Lawyer
3. Media (Television/Radio)
4. Salesperson
5. Surgeon
6. Journalist
7. Police officer
8. Clergy person
9. Chef
10. Civil servant

Ineptocracy...."A system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers."

Victor Davis Hanson....Once the impoverished Oaxacan immigrant crosses the border, he becomes statistical proof that Latinos have not achieved parity with the majority culture, due to all sorts of –isms and –ologies that can only be addressed by more government programs staffed by activists. The fact of why
and how he was impoverished and whom was to blame before he crossed the border is too illiberal to be addressed.

Al Sharpton...."White folks was in the caves while we [blacks] was building empires … We built pyramids before Donald Trump ever knew what architecture was … we taught philosophy and astrology and mathematics before Socrates and them Greek homos ever got around to it."

Judge Andrew Napolitano..."I’ve argued on Fox and elsewhere that we don't have two political parties anymore. We have one political party, the big government party. It has a Republican wing that likes war and deficits and corporate welfare. It has a Democratic wing that likes war and taxes and individual welfare. Both wings have a single goal and that is staying in power."

Henry Ford...."Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the government take care of him had better take a closer look at the American Indian."

Some conservative wags are referring to Hispanics as
"Conquistador-Americans."

Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich.

Ain't it the truth?..."Everything desired by the Liberal cause is mandated under the Constitution, and everything opposed to the Liberal cause is prohibited under it".

Obama lost in every state that requires a photo ID to be produced before voting.

Columnist Mark Steyn..."For four years, we have had a president who can spend everything but build nothing."

Newt Gingrich..."Barack Obama is a show horse, not a work horse."

Rush Limbaugh..."In a nation of children, Santa Claus wins."

Liberal America - The Sodom That Pretends It's Kansas

Do you ever get the feeling that the only reason they have polls is to see how many votes the Demonrats need to fabricate?

"Leftists dream of systems in which it will be unnecessary for anyone to be good."

Sultan Knish...Power breeds paranoia and every group jealously hoards its privileges fearful that they will be taken away. The more these groups demand their rights, the
more certain it is that they are already abusing the rights of others. When they call for freedom, they mean power. When they call for equality, they mean privilege. When they denounce hate, they justify their own hate. When they complain about the culture of bigotry, they are expressing how much they hate
others.

The problem with socialism...When everyone gets something for nothing, soon no one will have anything, because no one will be producing anything.

Coach Sandusky...From Penn State to State Pen

The socialist sees only one pie to be divided. The capitalist sees a market for a bakery operation.

In 1933, the Federal government was spending 4 percent of GDP. Today, the government is spending about 25 percent of GDP.

Texas is often described as..."A paradise for men and dogs, but hell for women and horses"

George Mason, delegate to the U.S. Constitutional Convention...‘‘I ask, sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people, except for a few public officials. To disarm the people is the best and most effectual way to enslave them.’’

Adolf Hitler, May, 1927..."We are socialists, we are enemies of today’s capitalistic economic system for the exploitation of the economically weak, with its unfair salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being according to wealth and property instead of responsibility and performance, and we are all determined to destroy this system under all conditions."

"We would have built a barrier on our southern border forty years ago that rivals the Great Wall of China if most of the people slipping across the border were potential Republicans."

Thomas Jefferson..."The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government."

As a rising young Chicago politician in 1995, no one campaigned more actively than Mr Obama for an amendment to the US Community Reinvestment Act, legally requiring banks to lend huge sums to millions of poor, mainly black Americans, guaranteed by the two giant mortgage associations, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. It was this Act, above all, which let the US housing bubble blow up, far beyond the point where it was obvious that hundreds of thousands of homeowners would be likely to default. Yet, in 2005, no one more actively opposed moves to halt these reckless guarantees than Senator Obama, who received more donations from Fannie Mae than any other US politician.

Victor Davis Hanson...Somehow in the 1980s we redefined in our schools colonialism, slavery, and imperialism as exclusively European, rather than merely human pathologies — as if the Arab world did not match or trump the European slave trade, as if the Ottomans had no empire before the Europeans in the Mediterranean, as if Persians, Japanese, and Chinese had not sought to conquer, enslave, and exploit their weaker neighbors.

Thomas Sowell..."Anyone who studies the history of ideas should notice how much more often people on the political left, more so than others, denigrate and demonize those who disagree with them — instead of answering their arguments."

Edith Starr Miller wrote in 1932..."Today, most of the good people are afraid to be good. They strive to be broadminded and tolerant. It is fashionable to be tolerant -- but mostly tolerant of evil -- and this new code has reached the proportions of demanding intolerance of good."

President John Adams..."Our Constitution is designed only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for any other."

"Our enemies don't live in caves in Afghanistan...they live in Washington, D.C."

Headline..."Racist Republicans flocking to Cain"

Fast and Furious...Holder Lied, Mexicans Died

Columnist Joe Sobran once wrote..."Politicians never accuse you of greed for wanting other people's money, only for wanting to keep your own money."

Ronald Reagan..."I've never been able to understand why a Republican contributor is a 'fat cat' and a Democratic contributor of the same amount of money is a 'public-spirited philanthropist'".

Libertarians are liberals in denial.

Margaret Thatcher..."The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money."

Don Surber..."Washington has more drama queens than a Barney Frank luau on Fire Island."

Steve Wynn, the CEO of Wynn Resorts, says the Obama administration is the "greatest wet blanket to business and progress and job creation in my lifetime."

After being accused of being terrorists, Sarah defended the Tea Party by saying..."Heck, if we were real terrorists Barack Obama would want to pal around with us."

A crusty old Marine Corps gunnery sergeant had this to say recently, "When I joined the military it was illegal to be homosexual, then it became optional, and now it's legal. I'm getting the Hell out before Obama makes it mandatory."

Down here in Texas you hear "Bless her heart" or "Bless his heart" quite a bit after an accident or misfortune befalls someone. It's kind of hard to come up with a translation for those up north, but in essence they're saying "dumbass" in a polite way.

In the U.S. the top 1% pays almost 40% of all income tax revenues collected. The top 5% pays almost 60%. The bottom 50% of households pay essentially nothing in income taxes.

Wags are saying that the economy is so bad Motel 6 no longer leaves the light on.

Kinky Friedman says..."Obama has done for the economy what pantyhose did for foreplay. I would support Charlie Sheen over Obama."

Phyllis Schlafly likes to say..."It's no wonder liberal women think men are pigs...their men are pigs."
