What it should say.
To be your definition of a liberal elitist.
The belief that certain persons or members of certain classes or groups deserve special assistance by virtue of their perceived inferiority, as in intellect, social status, or financial resources. That the majority of society can not achieve a meaningful life on their own without the guidance and wisdom of someone more enlightened. Usually in the form of government intervention and social engineering.
IMO, Liberal elitists suffer from a modern form of "White Man's Burden". Tey feel that it is their duty to bring enlightenment and progress (as they see it) to the ignorant unwashed masses.
