Delicious Truthful Tidit

"Liberals, [the author] notes, whether professors or public-sector workers, need 'victims' at home and abroad the way an 'addict needs drugs.'  But this alliance leaves out crucial cogs  in the coalition, such as the youthful 'dumbest generation,' whose primary political  aim is to think well of themselves.  Public-sector unions and their expert allies appeal to the semi-educated, New Yorker-reading upper middle class, who want to delegate all social responsibility to the state so that they can devote themselves to a life of advanced pleasures."
