Elitist

I'm going to jump back into some political discourse as we are coming up on a Presidental election. 

 

Today, I'm thinking about the attempts by many people and groups trying to brand other people and groups as "Elitist". 

 

Now, my first thought... for these groups slinging elitist as an insult, the majority of them are already IN the media and the body politic. The attempt is to convince us that their targets are not like us... but how many of "us" that they are talking to are in the media or body politic.  Having this tiny little group, who are very well compensated and have TV shows or political power to point the finger at each other with the claim of Elite is pattently ridiculous.  "Kettle, it's Pot on line one... something about being black"

 

Second, the very word elite isn't an insult.  As a very deep perfectionist (part of my upbringing), I think that elite and prefering the elite is NOT a bad thing at all.  Especially when we are looking at who to run the country.  I personaly think that we want the "choice or best of anything considered collectively, as of a group or class of persons" and not the Tard that people "want to have a beer with" we have in office now. 

 

Anyhow, that's all I have to say at the moment.
