a politically liberal person, especially one who believes in helping the poor, who lives a middle or upper class lifestyle

Basically, the "Do as i say, not as i do" crowd of wealthy elitists who have the best ideas on how regular Janes and Joes can sacrifice their comforts and conveniences to help alleviate the sufferings and ills of the world while they dismiss themselves from the very things they demand of the public.

For example.

They'll tell us to ride bikes or use public transportation to get to work to conserve energy while they get taxied around in limos and private jets.

They'll tell us to use solar powered energy in our homes and air dry our laundry while they live in huge mansions that use more electricity in one month than the average household uses a year.

They'll do "sit ins" on a construction site to stop the building of shopping malls or condominiums to "preserve the land" while they own several acres of land for their own personal use.

They tend to be strong advocates for gun control or in some extreme cases gun banning. But see nothing wrong with the armed bodyguards they employ for their own personal protection.

They tend to take a soft on crime stance and stand up for murderous thugs like Mumia Abu Jabar or Tookie Williams while they live in gated communities with round the clock surveillance that isn't within 50 miles of the nearest ghetto or any other high crime area.

If his name happens to be Bono, he'll meet with world leaders to encourage them to raise our taxes to help the starving kids in Africa while hiding his millions in the Netherlands to ...

Similar to limousine liberal, except the Lexus Liberal is a member of the upper middle-class rather than the upper class. Lexus liberals are characterized as being ignorant and lacking common sense in regards to political and social issues despite having a college education.

Unlike Limousine Liberals, Lexus Liberals are often considered to simply be naive rather than hypocritical.

A hypocrite democrat who pretends she loves working people, colored guys, and street people, but who has 109 million dollars and lives as far away as possible from working people, colored guys, and street people. They deceive millions of idiots who don't know that nobody ever helped anybody from the back seat of a limousine

Limousine liberal (or latte liberal) is a deragatory term used to describe a rich liberal who considers themself a champion of the poor and downtrodden, but lives a lifestyle of wealth and luxury.

Limousine liberals can usually be identified by any combination of the following behavior:

- They support gun control, but they go everywhere surrounded by armed bodyguards.

- They have a soft-on-crime stance, but they live in gated, private communities where there is no threat of crime.

- They tell people to ride bikes and use public transportation to reduce oil consumption, while themselves traveling around the world in private jets and rented luxury SUVs.

- They join organizations like PETA because they believe that killing animals is wrong, but they wear expensive leather belts and shoes.

Limousine liberal is mostly an American term. In Austrialia, an equivalent term is "chardonnay socialist", while in France the equivalent term is gauche caviar (caviar left).

There are always elites. There is never complete equality for long. G.W.F. Hegel in his *Phenomenology of Spirit* explains why--when two people confront each other, there is an inherent tension created as each seeks to dominate the other. People will fight, overtly or implicitly, until one wins control. This results in a "master/slave" relationship. Hegel's story does not end here, but that is the basic dynamic in any human relationship. Liberals are no different.

The liberal elite is a milder version of Lenin's "Vanguard of the Proletariat." The poor slobs who cannot gain power themselves because they lack the intelligence or drive to seize power and dominate others themselves are championed by some power crazy humanitarians or "power entrepreneurs" who have found a niche group to prey on, the poor and minorities. This liberal (not in the classical sense but the social democratic or socialist sense of the term liberal) elite gains power over more traditional or bourgeois people and steals their money through taxation. They keep much of it for themselves (e.g., salaries for social workers, leftist intellectuals, and bureaucrats) and redistribute what remains to their favored minority groups. They also force the white middle class to hire and go to school with minorities they had rather not associate with. The liberal elite tries continually to equalize the influence ...

In purely logical terms, this phrase is irrational since it is redundant. I am assuming that 'liberal' in this context means social democrat or socialist, not classical liberal.
