Self-righteous: convinced of one’s own righteousness especially in contrast with the actions and beliefs of others : narrow-mindedly moralistic

Fits you and your cohorts to a ‘T.’ You’re standing on the sidelines as though you’re the smartest, holiest people in the room, and you’ve yet to prove your assertion that these guys are exactly the same. And you’re taking actions that have direct impact ont he elections, up to and including the possiblity of putting the most pro-death candidate in history in the White House. You could mitigate that, but you’ve instead chosen to act in a manner that keeps you pure and gives you the ability to say, “see, I told you so, I knew this country was going to hell in a handbasket!”

It’s the very definition of self-righteousness, sir.

Please point out the similarities in McCain and Obama’s abortion voting records to substantiate your claim that there’s no difference between them. Unless I’ve missed something, you haven’t even tried to do so, which means that we’re simply expected to take you at your word. Again, that’s a pretty good example of self-righteousness.

If your idea of being "narrow-mindedly moralistic" is hating socialism as state-worship, getting sick and tired of the herd being manipulated year after year to not resist the evil, and being totally freaking fed up with having my money taken from me against my will to be used for all manner of evil, including public ads which belittle my own worldview, and that of my forefathers, including government indoctrination camps where innocent children are literally brainwashed into all manner of lies, and including the butcher of the unborn (with MY money), and people calling themselves conservatives, who have a godless, Woodrow Wilson foreign policy and loudly claim to be pro-life through one side of their mouth, while telling everyone to keep voting for the Culture of Death and to pay their taxes out of the other side of their mouth, then yeah - I'm narrow-minded. And I'm trying to wake up more people to be narrow minded, too.

Now, self-righteous is a Christian term, which means that a person thinks righteousness originates from himself, instead of from the God who made all things. It has been adapted in the post-Christian world we live in to be an emotionally charged (and therefore reason-suppressing) word to describe anyone who cares too much about evil, or won't compromise with evil.
