Elect a President Just Like Me

Recently the word ‘elite’ has become a pejorative.  On election day, let’s remember what that word means and why elite people are good.

    This so perfectly highlights my annoyance with the recent connotation of the e-word. Thank you.

  2. contrariwise

    Absolutely perfect!

    Adding the definition really proves your point.

    This cartoon inspired
    quite a conversation between AoD and I. Someone once told me that discussing politics is the best way to offend friends.
    If you’re willing to be my friend even if I offend you with my political views, please keep reading.

    Right, because it does not also mean: “a relatively small dominant group with a larger society, which enjoys a privileged status ehich us upheld by individuals of a lower status within the structure”

    From that Latin: to elect…. which pretty much means that whimever is elected will be the elite, don’t it?

    I think when used in the pejorative sense recently people are referring to the wealthy, rather than the talented and useful elite, which I think is the point Hawke was trying to make.

    If I remember correctly, one of the GOPs favorite answer for electing Bush was that ” he looks like a guy I can have a beer with”…. real elite there huh? Also let’s not forgot who waged an endless war into the middle East, tanked our economy with slack regulation, and who now stands to be remembered as one of the worst presidents in history.

    Also Obama has a Nobel prize <- check mate
