Well, that would indicated that one person here, who spends an inordinate amount of time degrading
'out-group' members must have a tremendous amount of self-esteem - maybe approaching narcissism.

self-esteem and seeks ways in which to feel better about him/herself and

It's hard to have self esteem when everything you do turns to ****. Too

Actually, FOADie, the right-wing posters here very seldom initiate a political thread, unless in
