Better ideas, or better people?

Last night I was talking with my son Jonathan. He told me that a boy in his class at school is an "extreme liberal. He thinks he is better than everyone!" Then, today I was reading a post by Dr. Sanity in which she said, "Conservatives believe they have better ideas. Leftists believe they are better people." 
More from Dr. Sanity:  This is the same psychological maneuver that allows people to claim they are champions of free speech, as they diligently work to silence anyone with views that differ from their own. Inevitably, it leads to complete intellectual and moral bankruptcy. Where once they stood for freedom; they now enable dictatorships and apologize for tyrants. Where once they sought to bring justice to the world; they now defend horrific acts of mass murder and enslavement. Where once they rightly demanded equal opportunity, they have embraced all kinds of racial quotas and discriminatory practices and demand equality of outcome. Where once they sought to empower the weak; they are now instrumental in maintaining and expanding their victimhood.

After all, how can you be a “champion of the oppressed” unless you maintain and nurture an oppressed class that will always require your services to help them?
