Latte Liberals (from the Urban Dictionary):
“Liberals” who have nothing better to do than to join fashionable causes.
This term derives from liberals who sit around and drink overpriced diluted Starbucks coffee while lamenting the plight of the poor.
Latte Liberals have no sense of discretion and usually forget what they’re arguing about soon after other latte liberals judge newer causes (polygamy, discrimination against left-handers, etc.) to be more worthy.
For a definition of a liberal, see my prior post The TRUE History of the World.

I think arrogance might also fit, but then again, that might just be my own epistemological arrogance rearing its ugly head. Bu who am I to say that moral and personal integrity and consistency is important? I mean, look at Obama. He says he’s a friend of the poor, but the again he’s also a friend to an oppresive, crook of a slum lord, under indictment for racketering and tax evasion, and look where that’s gotten him (that is, if support from the Clintons is a good thing).
