I'm not just being snarky, either. I really believe liberals go mad eventually with their ambivalent approach to wealth and excellence. They love wealth and fame and glamor. I'm sure you've noticed how they fawn over European royalty, Hollywood movie stars... status turns them on, artistic talent turns them on, upper class society reduces them to a puddle.

But at the same time, all that talent and wealth accumulated in the hands of the few ... well, it's terrible, isn't it?? Let's give it to the poor...

Ah, but the poor. Well, they aren't nearly as admirable as the rich, are they? I mean, muscular urban black men looking angry in front of a wall of really artistic graffiti intrigues them, but fat white people shopping at WalMart disgust them beyond what they can even articulate.

So they love the poor, except when they utterly despise them, and they despise the evil rich capitalist... except for when they absolutely worship them. Sooner or later they start blowing fuses at the confusion.

I realized that: that's why it was so brilliant. You've really nailed them.
