Understanding "modern elite liberals " as the liberals who have generally replaced traditional left-liberal emphasis on combating poverty and unemployment, creating broad-based economic growth, helping workers receive higher wages and benefits through labor unions, providing access to health care, education, and social assistance, and working towards civil rights for minorities....
...replaced with a focus on environmental protection, equality of opportunity in the workplace for women, gays, and minorities, a "creative class" outlook and social base, a desire for increased protection of civil liberties, an idealistic internationalist foreign policy, a bias in attitude in favor of cities and urbanization, an appreciation of "organic food", a heavily secular ethics, a pluralistic/multicultural understanding of where America is headed, great respect for "tolerance" and difference of opinion, and of course, support for liberalized sexual and gender attitudes.
Have at it.
