Vanity and vainglory are suffered without interruption to retain their natural possession of the heart.   ... William Wilberforce, A Practical View  July 31, 2000 Commemoration of Ignatius of Loyola, Founder of the Society of Jesus, 1556  Jesus used the term abba (which means father or "daddy" in his Aramaic mother tongue), as an address in his prayers to God.

So they need a way to achieve that smugness for which the left is so justifiably famous. They need a way to achieve self-esteem without merit. Well, there is politics.
