Why liberal elites are so resentful of middle America
2018-01-19
[NYPost] This week we saw a few perfect examples of why liberal coastal elites are so resentful of middle America: It’s because the supposed rubes and rednecks aren’t more resentful of the elites ‐ or, more specifically, the elites’ "success."

They don’t aspire to be like their self-appointed betters.

Some Americans just don’t need much; they don’t think there’s anything wrong with wanting to have a 1,500-square-foot house, watch football and go to church on Sunday. They don’t want to leave their hometowns to come to Silicon Valley or Washington, DC, or Manhattan. They place great value on community and living near family and carrying out family traditions.

That’s not hate, that’s not stupidity, that’s not racism ‐ it’s their own version of the American dream.
Continues.

Just for fun, word search "Melinda Byerley" and read what the li'l darlin' said about me and, presumably, you.

#13  Because? We refuse to be ruled. We refuse to be forced into things "for our own good" by the government.

And only partially can we be governed, and even then, only by our peers who know better than try to control us.

They hate us because we will not obey them mindlessly like the Progressive fodder they have created in the universities and urban areas.

Free people are their mortal enemy.

#12  I proudly fly my flag in my NATIVE San Diego. I know it's easier to disparage all Californians, but that cheap slander. You might want to take a higher road and support the patriotic sane Californians. San Diego County military stations would beat most nations in a war

#8  Because they [liberal "elites"] like to think of themselves as wave of the future - while being aware, somewhere deep inside, that they're just sewage running downhill?

#5  Leftwing progressivism is an ideology pf hate, jealousy and resentment. That's really all they have to offer.

#4  Funny how the elites rail against the materialistic culture of America and also rail against middle America which seems to have self-control regarding the materialistic culture of America.

Seems as if the elites are just self-loathing arse holes.
