A pyromaniac in a field of straw men

Elizabeth Warren and liberalism, twisting the ‘social contract’ by George F. Will. Three lines:
Warren is (as William F. Buckley described Harvard economist John Kenneth Galbraith) a pyromaniac in a field of straw men: She refutes propositions no one asserts. Everyone knows that all striving occurs in a social context, so all attainments are conditioned by their context. This does not, however, entail a collectivist political agenda.
Many members of the liberal intelligentsia, that herd of independent minds
Government humility in the face of society’s creative complexity.
