When did...

When did knowledge become an elitist trait?

When did it become bad to base a vote on something besides color?

When did reading a newspaper or watching the news become an elitist idea?

When did calling someone who is basing their vote purely upon the color of a person's skin an idiot become taboo?

When did knowledge stop equalling power?

When did the idea of hope become an elitist tool?

When did knowing about the candidates become a bad thing?

When did basing your vote on what a person says and not what they look like become grounds for being an elitist?

And, while we're at it, can someone define for me what an 'elitist' is?

In the political world of ever changing definitions? Right now it is anyone who is not a Hillary supporter.

You get the option of defending yourself against Hillary supporters who claim you're calling them all uneducated.

Even though nobody actually has

Well I think they are sending out the Volvos next week and Starbucks will begin making special deliveries for anyone that has an Obama sign in front of their ivory tower.

So we got that going for us.....

Higher education debt!?
You want to see an elitist, just look in the mirror.


God gave us George W. Bush as a leader for 8 years, God must want us to stay dumb.

Today's bad word "Elite" brought to you by the same people who brought you the bad word "Liberal".

Elitists are wild lookin' wooly-boogers? Sweeeet.

God had nothing to do with it. Satan, aka Dick Cheney, is the real President.
