Just when you think you've figured out what Hillary Clinton is all about, she makes a complete 180-degree turn and throws you off your game. So I started to wonder: is Hillary schizophrenic? There is little doubt in my mind that she suffers from antisocial Personality Disorder (aPD) or maybe even Sociopathy, given her long history of gaining at the expense of those who have faithfully served her.
Those who would take issue with my diagnosis may do so, as I do not purport to be a psychiatrist. But I do have access to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM IV), which offers some fascinating insights into what I see as Hillary's personality quirks.
For instance, DSM IV defines someone with aPD as an individual who displays at least three of the following: "1. Failure to conform to social norms; 2. Deceitfulness, manipulativeness; 3. Impulsivity; 4. Irritability, aggressiveness; 5. Reckless disregard for the safety of self or others; 6. Consistent irresponsibility; 7. Lack of remorse after having hurt, mistreated or stolen from another person."
To follow Hillary's career, there are at least three of these traits that appear to be a recurring theme. These include deceitfulness and manipulation, irritability and aggressiveness as well as lack of remorse. It serves no purpose to go into tedious detail about how these symptoms have manifested themselves, but suffice it to say that Vince Foster, the Rose Law Firm billing records and the commodities futures deal figure prominently.
Now I am given to wondering if Hillary may be suffering from more than aPD. Could it be she's also schizophrenic? I refer to Hillary's apparent habit of flip-flopping on issues. First, Hillary says it's bad to profile individuals based on race, sexual orientation, religion or national origin, particularly when the department of Homeland Security people look too closely at fundamentalist Muslims boarding planes. Then all of a sudden it's okay with Hillary to profile if a group of people that wish to purchase a few port terminals in the United States happen to be Muslim arabs.
Hillary recently joined in the protests against immigration reform claiming that illegal Mexican immigrants are in par with the Good Samaritan and maybe even Jesus, who Hillary wrongly believed to have been illegally in Bethlehem. Less than two weeks later, she is calling for a physical barrier between Mexico and the U.S. to put an end to illegal immigration. What gives?
But her apparent schizophrenia goes back much further. I seem to recall her falling squarely on both the Palestinians' and the Israelis' side during her initial run for her Senate seat. She was also in favor of the war in Iraq but was highly critical of Bush sending in the troops when he did. In fact, she voted in favor of the war during a Senate debate just prior to the bombs falling. In a speech on the Senate floor, Hillary stated, "So it is with conviction that I support this resolution as being in the best interests of our nation." She then relentlessly criticized the handling of the war.
DSM IV describes a Schizophrenic patient as being "delusional" or "hallucinating". See if the following quotes from Hillary don't fit the description:
"I'm having a great time being the Pres, I mean Senator from New York."
"I'm not going to have some reporters pawing through our papers. We are the president."
"…this vast right-wing conspiracy that has been conspiring against my husband since the day he announced for President."
What's scarier still, is that Hillary's actions also fall under what could be described as schizophrenic. Her voting record in the Senate would indicate that she believes she is Senator Ted Kennedy (D Mass) because she voted the same as Kennedy 9 out of 10 times in 2001, 12 out of 13 times in 2002 and 13 out of 14 times in 2003.
The more one examines what Hillary says and does the more one wonders about the state of her mental health...and she's said to be planning to run for president? Hmmm.
