Brit Hume explained the basis of liberal ideology to Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday -- the idea that "the American people do not know what's good for them."

It is the same ideal that is mirrored in the opaqueness of the Obamacare law, as has been echoed in the recently discovered comments of one of its architects, Jonathan Gruber. Gruber said the writing of the bill was done in such a way that intentionally exploits the "stupidity of the American voter." But not that federal officials are exempt from the purposeful murkiness of the bill. Never forget Nancy Pelosi's infamous words, "We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it."

And in that same spirit, liberalism is grounded. Here is Hume's commentary:

What we have here is something quite different. We have an admission of an all-out effort to deceive on a number of points, based upon the notion -- common, I'm afraid, among many liberals -- that the American people do not know what's good for them and they need their more intelligent betters, and the professoriate in other locations, to take care of that for them. That is kind of a premise of Obamacare.
