"That is both the ethical core and psychological heart of what it means to be a part of the left. That is where the gratification comes from. To see yourself as a social redeemer. To feel anointed. In other words: To be progressive is itself the most satisfying narcissism."

Progressives/Liberals feel superior (anointed), because they can say they 'care' about the 'little' people, and that's enough. They feel absolutely no need to actually get their hands dirty, and God forbid blacks ever get vouchers and access to the same elite private schools their kids attend. Naturally, Progressives/Liberals expect someone else (us), to pay for their self gratification. They're crazy.
