29. Narcissistic is the right word

I think he (and many of his ilk) see themselves as the "smartest people in the room", morally superior to anyone that disagrees with them and they don't need to bother with the "fools/evil/heartless/bloodlust types" like us that disagree with them.

His creation of an imaginary calculus classroom and a professorship for himself is pretty obvious evidence.

The recent thread that discussed "compromise" was a prime example.

They really can't grasp the idea of giving up anything to get a "common sense" compromise. It's all about them getting everything they want using any means available.

A compromise in their mind is getting some now, more a little later, then everything they want sooner rather than later.

I've come to believe there is no reasoning or point in discussion with most of them.

Just ignore their ineffective and irrelevant whining and keep moving ahead. The falling violent crime rate is the only affirmation I need that they are wrong and we are right on this issue.
