Can't find much argument with that. Pretty decent psychiatric evaluation of the liberal mind.

This is exactly why the liberal elite hate sports (kids learn discipline, grit, and personal responsibility), people willing to work more than 40 hours a week (extra effort finds reward), vocational education (weakens the mythical importance of academia), self-made wealth (inspires personal development/validates Nietzsche over Marx), black Republicans (value character/effort over bureaucracy), sobriety (increases rate of success), and religion (requires dedication, personal sacrifice, and self-control to be a good person). Basically, they hate all these things because they teach people how not to be a liberal. And the fewer liberals there are, the closer they get to having to start working for a living, and once they have to start working for a living the closer they get to potentially facing failure, consequence, and the realization that they aren't nearly as special as their mothers taught them. And that really is what it's all about. The ability to believe they are perfect without having to bother striving for perfection.
