"Underneath the Democrat label here in Michigan there is something new, and something dangerous-born of conspiracy and violence, sired by socialists and nurtured by the general treasury of the U.A.W.-C.I.O. This is the pattern of political conquest.

There is only one mental aberration in which these two symptoms coexist: in the psychopathic personality, essentially antisocial, conscienceless, inclined to violence in behavior, and liable to loss of identity in the group, gang, mob or herd. The psychopath is a rebel without a cause-hence, in a chronic state of mutiny. He strives solely for the satisfaction of his moment-to-moment desires. Raw need is all that drives...
