No, I think there are common personality/character traits that provide a basis or foundation for a person's views. If that person stays within normal parameters, his/her views will develop along normal lines and he/she will express his/her philosophies in a relatively normal way. Gingrich........although I don't know him at all, I will use as an example since it seems you guys think he is a fairly typical conservative. Hitler, who most likely shared the same values as an early twentieth century Gingrich and started from the same base as that conservative, had those values stretched and distorted by his psychosis. But his initial views/philosphy came from conservative roots and not liberal.

I am going to stop reading right here since your post is turning completely absurd, and by now, you probably regret posting it, and hope nobody read it.

Joe, not at all. Its well known in human psychology that there are personality traits that typically would be considered normal but when distorted by a person who is disturbed turn into extremist [and undesirable] behavior.

All I have said is that its been observed that dictators tend to share personality traits similar to people classified as conservative in their political philosophy. This is not news nor is it original thinking on my part.

In another post, you said Franco was conservative but Hitler and Stalin were not. Well,then Hitler and Stalin must have been masking their real identities; particularly, Hitler who was elected to office as a conservative.

BTW I think long and hard before posting something.....and rarely regret making a post.
