18 Ways to know that YOU are an elitist originally posted Sunday, September 14, 2008, 05:11 PM
Posted by Seth R. Gambetty Someone I am acquainted with suggested that I am an elitist. My first question was 'what do you mean, an elitist?' The response was 'well Obama is one, and if you identify with him, you are too. ' Thats just stupid, to tell you how I really feel. But, then again, maybe I am one. After all, I say an elitist, someone who is elite, is basically someone who is 'above the fray' or 'smarter' or 'more skilled' than the average person. Examples: If you're sick, do you pick the 'normal' doctor? Sometimes, but no always. If you have, say, the Big C....cancer, do you want the guy who checks your sniffles? Or do you want the best doctor possible for the type of cancer you have? Would you want the ELITE doctor in your area of ill? How about the hospital? County General? Or maybe.....I don't know, the Mayo? You know, that ELITE hospital? Why do our politicians get a 'pass'? They are supposed to be smarter than you, me, and the 'other guy.' I want the Elite President. The one thats the best, the smartest, and seriously.......whats wrong with that? Here's how I decided maybe I AM an elitist.
1. You don't talk like a normal person. Only normal people talk like normal people. Sarah "no questions please, I'm Alaskan" Palin, who according to House Minority leader John Boehner, talks like a normal person... if by "normal" you mean "chillingly antagonistic toward anything resembling progress or political insight or women's civil liberties." |
