Did Bush or Cheney give a rat’s ass about the mass slaughter of hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians in Iraq?

Does Obama care about all the innocent victims of the US’s unconstitutional drone policy?

The answer to those questions is easy. But why? The short answer is neither the global elite nor their families are ever in a position to be damaged by their own actions.

As a result, those in power see people at the bottom as aliens whose bizarre emotions they must try to manage.

Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan discusses this setup in her column How Global Elites Forsake Their Countrymen.









Arrogantly Ass Backwards

One of the most disgusting and arrogant articles I have seen in a long time was written by James Traub, a contributing editor at Foreign Policy.

This ignorant (to use his own word) fool (my word but not nearly strong enough) says It’s Time for the Elites to Rise Up Against the Ignorant Masses.

The Brexit has laid bare the political schism of our time. It’s not about the left vs. the right; it’s about the sane vs. the mindlessly angry,” says Traub.

Who the hell is Traub to decide what is right for the masses?

The masses were against the Iraq war (and correctly so). We had war anyway, with devastating consequences.

The masses never would have fought a war with Vietnam. We had a war, and we lost it. How many US citizens are dead, physically disabled, or mentally disabled because the elite so much believed in the asinine “Domino Theory” that they were willing to go into a stupid war on that belief?

Traub is upset that the masses have finally figured out the global elite don’t give a rat’s ass about them.

Mindlessly Angry?

People are not “mindlessly angry”. They are angry because they have been ripped off by the Fed, by their governments, and by ignorant media jackasses who are clueless about why there is so much anger.

If you care to express an opinion you can reach James Traub @jamestraub1 or Peggy Noonan@Peggynoonannyc.

You can also retweet this if you think this post is spot on.
