I’ve been assigned several honey-do’s this morning, I’ll try to sneak back and check the conversation here later. When Mrs Nessa isn’t looking…

in the fact that he spoke the truth of what they think. The leftists really want to have an elitist in the WH because it fits their ideas. So when their ideal person is doing the elitist thing, they get really mad. It’s to be expected.

don’t know history… at all. I’m by no means an expert and often get dates and facts wrong but the overall sum total tells me that kings and queens are petulant and vengeful of the smallest slight.

Even the courtiers must step lightly because those in favor today can quite easily be out of favor tomorrow… not to mention beheadings and the like. That tends to happen when you concentrate too much power in the hands of too few.

In essence, it comes down to responsibility. From the top to the bottom, Statist populism* is about finding a scapegoat. The folks at the bottom want somebody else to be responsible for their “successes” so that they don’t have to take the blame for their own failures.

At the top, where the egos are considerably larger, they recognize their own “achievements” but where they fail, they seek to find somebody to pin it on.

Economy is a great example of this: The statists* believe they’ve helped society by creating a redistribution of wealth and bastardizing Capitalism beyond recognition, but where the system THEY CREATED hurts the lower class, they blame Capitalists.

*From here on out, so-called “liberals” aka “progressives” will not be referred to as such by me, because the labels are grossly inaccurate. They will be called Statists, and their system not merely populism, but the more accurate statist populism. Out of a spirit of fairness, you see.

Well, yeah, if by ‘us’ you mean you and the rest of your dumb (site rule redacted word) lib buddies.

something that I’ve always felt and known in my gut which is that at it’s core modern liberalism is an elitist movement.

It’s why the government has to control every single aspect of our lives from not allowing us to eat trans-fats, mandating seat-belts, and not allowing private property owners to decide if they’d make more money being a smoke-free environment than one that allows smoking, all the way to affirmative action programs for minorities that are too helpless and stupid to make it on their own. And do we even want to get into the hypocrisy of the AlGore’s of the world consuming more energy than 10 average families and climate change advocates flying in on 140 private jets and renting 2,000 limos while telling the rest of the peasants to cut down on their energy use.

That’s why these people are such blazing hypocrites when it comes to how they insist others live their lives while they live in the exact opposite manner (especially when it comes to racism). Their ‘moral superiority’ excuses them from living by the same rules they foist on the masses.

Disgusting. Utterly disgusting.

“Why are people so ignorant of history and ignorant of the evils of tyrannical government control over their lives? Why do people think that other men can rule over them and make better decisions about their lives than they can make themselves? I can’t answer those questions. I can only keep asking them. It makes me sad that I have to ask it.”

The “Why?” is obvious. The solution will be like pulling teeth: Very painful to a certain segment of our society…

people clamoured for a “king.” An already dependent populace was further brainwashed and propagandized into electing this one. Those that really thought he would rescue them will grow in discontent, but will stay stuck. Maher’s remark is so telling and I want to repeat it here:

“He’s not a populist, he’s an elitist. That’s what I like about him. He’s smarter that the rest of us.”

Maher and his kind, drip with disdain and elitism, but at the end of the day, they will fade away into obscurity and irrelevance. I take comfort in knowing that. Obama, is not king, and whether he has only 3 years, or more, it will happen to him. At times, his personal poll numbers bother me, because I think that the people remain blind. OTOH, everything he has touched has turned to lead…..and thus far we have seen the people voting their dissatisfaction, even in a blue, blue state.
The rhetorical question you ask in para.3 connects nicely with Pilgrim’s diary:

Jaded put a link in there today to this startling plan for North Carolina history books.

People started coming to this country over 350 yrs. ago, fleeing tyranny in their homelands. They came seeking a new life, new opportunities, and freedom. They still arrive here today for those very same reasons.

Americans do not like people who consider themselves smarter than the “rest of us.”

He lashes out of his own frustration. I’m surprised he hasn’t self destructed already.

Samuel was wiser than Bill Maher, or that Kings David and Solomon were better leaders than Obama? That is mighty close to sedition.

or one of them anyway, is that they think they are *all* smarter than me.

As a conservative, I am by definition a knuckle dragging cretin. As a liberal, they are an educated, enlightened member of an elite class.

Their entire premise of governing is that I’m too stupid to breath all the air I need so I need to be regulated and controlled.

I hate them for their condescension more than I hate them for their policies.

Proper grammar saves lives.

poor slobs. Like when he abdicates his leadership to Reid and Pelosi on crafting reforms. (In order to be able to pin the blame on them when it all fails). The man’s a genius, I bow to him, abjectly.

Comrade Obama doesn’t think he’s like us. He doesn’t want to be like us. He doesn’t want any of His useful idiots to think he’s like us. He and they are quite certain that they are vastly superior to we heathens, but they don’t mind trying to make us rubes think that they are like us.

They do that at those tapings and sheeples will just follow along, even it’s to agree that they’re not so smart, which I guess is true, huh?

Weren’t these the same people who were referring to President Bush as “King George” and moaning about how he trampled the Constitution and hoarded all kinds of power and was generally evil?

Obama has basically continued the policies of the previous administration, while adding some particularly odious twists of his own. But he gets a free pass.

Amazing how groupthink can cloud a mind. Whoever says that “two heads are better than one” never met Organizing for America.
