Wonder just how many "militia types" (both left AND right) and how many "Islam adherents" there are here in the US....??

Either way, on our household, we taught our children and learned ourselves to beware of "self righteous types"....They are pretty easy to spot....They are the ones who always have the only answer...theirs.

The Reformer...
Can be Healthy, or Medium, or Unhealthy:

Unhealthy: Can be highly dogmatic, self-righteous, intolerant, and inflexible. Begin dealing in absolutes: they alone know "The Truth." Everyone else is wrong: very severe in judgments, while rationalizing own actions. / Become obsessive about imperfection and the wrong-doing of others, although they may fall into contradictory actions, hypocritically doing the opposite of what they preach. / Become condemnatory toward others, punitive and cruel to rid themselves of "wrong-doers." Severe depressions, nervous breakdowns, and suicide attempts are likely.
