The study asserts that narcissists “are more likely to have romantic relationships that are short-lived, at risk for infidelity, lack emotional warmth, and to exhibit game-playing, dishonesty, and over-controlling and violent behaviors.†(Sex and the City/Hollywood lifestyle, huh)Most college students are liberal as well. I'm sensing some overlap.Twenge, the author of “Generation Me: Why Today’s Young Americans Are More Confident, Assertive, Entitled — and More Miserable Than Ever Before,†said narcissists tend to lack empathy, react aggressively to criticism and favor self-promotion over helping others.
The researchers traced the phenomenon back to what they called the “self-esteem movement†that emerged in the 1980s, asserting that the effort to build self-confidence had gone too far.
The ironic reality is that if everybody is special, then nobody ends up being special. That causes frustration and resentment to aggregate, which leads to seething and brooding anger. This build-up of anger is prone to manifest itself in stupifying and pitiable eruptions of emotional turmoil.

Venturing a little pop-psych analysis, I would further venture that because a narcissist feels entitled by virtue of 'who they are,' any criticism of the narcissist is either (a) dismissed because it attacks something he 'does,' and thus is deemed irrelevant, or (b) enraging because it attacks 'who he is,' and thus is an intolerable insult to his very core, and something he believes is perfect and unchangeable.
It would follow that someone who disagrees with the narcissist must be condemned as either evil or stupid. After all, the leftist narcissist is perfect, and any deviation from his perfect political views would necessarily be wrong!

Of course there's an overlap. The Liberal obsession with "civil liberties" and "rights" that don't exist is not for the benefit of the community, it's for their own personal benefit. It's about absolute freedom, but without accountability. It's hedonism. Liberals are hedonists, and hedonists are narcissists.

So Gore pays indulgences (carbon credits) to Leftard environmental causes (terrapass) in order to justify his using 30 times as much energy as the average American, while the Leftard environmental causes he pays those "carbon credits" to use that very money to downsize the life of regular Americans? HAHAHAHA!!!! I've tried, but I just don't have the words.

I think your handle is the name of some god in the south pacific, any relation?
The public education system that has tried to destroy everything in America has come home to roost. Great grand children of the greatest Americans.all the rights, entitlements and 0 responsibility. If there was ever a reason to ditch the constitution for 50 years, this is it. Old proverb says wealth is destroyed every 3rd generation.
