Several thoughts concerning your post:

Some people assume Democrats don’t have good intentions. I believe Democrats are generally well meaning, but that’s not the issue. The problem is their policies don’t generally work in the real world even though they believe they have an obligation to fix said world.

Some people also assume Democrats aren’t religious, but I believe they’re driven by strong morals. They’re neo-Puritans (without the Christianity) who hold very strong beliefs about what is moral—good or evil—and believe it’s their religious duty to spread the “faith.” Guns, for example, are evil. Smoking is evil. Smoking pot, on the other hand, is good. It’s a faith based religion of liberalism, so it doesn’t even have to make sense.

So I agree with your post. Liberals have a nearly messianic urge to save the world. That is also why they generally love the idea of a one world government. It’s not like what most conservatives think, that liberals want world government so they can oppress people. Liberals see the elimination of nation states as a means to an end, so they can finally have enough power and money to help the poor, end war, and create a utopia.

Almost nobody is a villain in his own mind. Even the greatest mass murderers in history (Mao, Stalin, Pol Pot) probably thought that they were killing "enemies of the people" for the greater good.

Politically correct liberals are the most self-righteous people on the planet. The Puritan comparison is mostly right, with the exception that Puritans were rank amateurs when it came to censoring thought and speech by comparison. It's not enough for PC liberals that you agree with their general principles and beliefs, you have to use their Newspeak dictionary while doing so - or else.
