#1 Grandiosity, Fantasies, and Narcissism Zero and leading liberal voices have ~~joined~~ lead in a chorus of ~~intellectual~~ adolescent condescension

With the 2010 elections in the fall the adolescents will be voted out of office and the Adults will take over again. Trust no voter under the age of 35 - still in their extended adolescence

#2 Because they are not Libs. Classical liberals believed in equal opportunity not equal outcome. Classical liberals recognized the sanctity of private property. Classical liberals just didn't mouth the concept of equality but practiced it. These are Socialist. They are very effective making everyone else avoid using that term because they know if they revealed their true selves their power would significantly diminish. Now Socialist believe in a superior ruling class. They are that superior caste. Why shouldn't they be condescending? /rhet question.

#5 Progressive is actually a better term. Classic Progressivism is NOT democratic. It posits a belief in the "perfection" of humanity as imposed by a select wise elite. Not surprisingly early progressives were much enamored by fascism. They still are, but will obfuscate or hide these views.

The attitude that "we're better than you" and "we know what's best for society" is a fundamental part of progressive belief.
