Lawn Chair Quarterback: "No Such Thing As A Limousine Liberal"

There's no such thing as a limousine liberal.

Indeed there isn't.

It's a point I've proven for years. Elitism means political conservatism - and vice versa.

Unfortunately, there's still a few peeps around who can't grasp that somebody who is liberal on economics or welfare can be liberal on culture war issues. This misconception isn't as prevalent as it was on the Internet of a decade ago, but it still crops up occasionally.

Their failure to grasp the concept of a progressive populist is in fact elitist - which makes them conservative, in effect.

For instance, according to them, abolishing the corrupt system of credit scores is a conservative stance. Yet they think punishing people who receive unemployment benefits by making them take drug tests is a liberal stance. They have it backwards.
