As Mr. "T" would say, "I Pity the Fools!!"

Mrs. Schteveo and I went a'visiting today after church. We had lunch with a bunch of friends, then went to visit Uncle G and Aunt T, Mrs. Shteveo's sister and her better half. Needless to say, both conversations went to politics!!

I took a Comment I made elsewhere and turned it into a Post here. From The American Interest Online. Some of my comments from lunch and a'visiting wound up in my comment...elsewhere.

All pundits, including yours truly, get it wrong sometimes, and normally there would be little point in dwelling on past blunders. But it this case, it is worth exhuming these vaporous and embarrassing stupidities for a few moments. Many of our nation’s intellectual leaders wonder why the rest of the country isn’t more respectful of their claims to be guided by and speak for the cool voice of celestial reason.


And this is the problem. They're assumption of intellectual superiority, simply because they SAY SO!! And BTW, SUPERIOR to whom?

Farmers who feed them? Policemen and military personnel who protect them and who protect their very right to SAY incredibly stupid things? Truck drivers who move their goods around? Cooks, plumbers, waitresses, pizza delivery drivers, computer techs, customers service agents, Texas Hold'Um poker dealers, bar maids, chamber maids, welders, mechanics.......who do the tasks they are neither trained for nor are willing to do for themselves? Just who is it they are so superior to? Which one of the great NON-intellectuals on the list are they willing to live without?

The list of people they look down on could go on for hours, but why do that? We know it's everyone who doesn't carry their water, won't kiss Obama's mocha @$$, and who had the audacity to vote for their own interests and against more socialism? BFD. It's majority rule, and this time the majority voted against the intellectual, socialist ideals. They sure as hell thought the majority should rule when it went their way 2 years ago!!

I'm sick of the level of gloating and condescension I've heard since Wednesday morning. Most of which began Tuesday night during the actual election reporting. It's one thing to be defined as the "enemy" of a Neo-Marxist, stuffed shirt, teleprompter dependent, pretty boy. I'm glad Obama set that tone, and I wear being his "enemy" as a badge of honor.

But to be called "unwashed", "racist", "foolish", "unthinking", "nut"......and again, the list could go on for hours. To be called these things by the Courics, Olbermans, Stephanopouli, of the MSM, is TOO MUCH for me. WhoTF do these people think they ARE?

In order to get both sides of the news I news surf.

I watch the Big 3 MSM and FOX. I read Drudge and NYT. In the 40 odd years I've been voting I have NEVER seen or heard this level of post election hate and name calling. And it's coming from the LOSERS!! I knew they had no objectivity or integrity, but I never thought they'd show this level of pettiness. It was quite shocking. And I am not easily shocked.

I think I've gotten a small taste of what it must have been like to be a reasonably educated, thinking, working, black man, in the American South 50 years ago and beyond. Because if being a member of the "Liberal intelligentsia", and saying anyone who isn't a member and who doesn't believe like you and vote like you and follow the creed like you do is in someway "of inferior intellect" or "mean", or "stupid", "foolish", "uneducated", ...there's the list again...if you are a member who does that, then YOU are the racist, the sexist, and the phobic.

Hating and despising someone who is different, without knowing or trying to meet and understand them is the very definition of ALL the things they accuse others of being!!

In the end I guess I've truly come to pity them since Tuesday night.
