I found what is affecting our politicians; Dr.Theodore Dalrymple calls it  “False Apology Syndrome” a disease of the ego (see definition below).  It puts them at such a high elevated position that they lose all common sense and use of the mental facilities.  It does not cause them to have “bad faith” as Mr. Dalrymple says below, but no faith at all in the God of the Bible and His Son Jesus Christ.  The disease causes a shift from believing in God to believing in government and themselves and is almost always a fatal flaw and symptom if not reversed.   The “loose thinking” of the politician causes a mental break between their constituent and themselves causing more pain to both sides, one is elevated higher in ego and their complete lack of understanding as to why the other is not understanding them, while the other is bought lower in disappointment and discouragement and finally rebellion.
 
Here is Mr. Theodore Dalrymple’s definition (see below) from which I have added my thoughts and further analysis of the disease.

Don’t believe anything I have to say but do read Mr. Dalrymple article he makes a lot of sense were as I don’t.   You will find his article interesting and right on, and that the “False Apology Syndrome” has come to America.

“False Apology Syndrome — which is not yet found in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of the American Psychiatric Association or the World Health Organization’s International Classification of Diseases, tenth edition — is a therefore rich but poisonous mixture of self-importance, libertinism, condescension, bad faith, loose thinking, and indifference to the effects it has on those who are apologized to.”

Here is Dr. Mohler’s commentary on Dr. Dalrymple’s article
