Contempt

It has become increasingly evident that many American elites, primarily left wing, progressive, and Democrat leaders have bitter contempt for an overwhelming portion of the nation. It is, in many ways, a subtext of the 2020 election.

The trend has been building for some time. In 2008, Barack Obama alleged that those who disagreed with him were “bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”  In 2016, Hillary Clinton said that half of those who opposed her were “racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic.”  Democratic presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg expressed his contempt for farmers, stating that “I could teach anybody, even people in this room, no offense intended, to be a farmer…It’s a process. You dig a hole, you put a seed in, you put dirt on top, add water, up comes the corn.” Bloomberg has also proclaimed that “We just can’t let the average American have guns in a crowded place…” 

Numerous Democratic elected officials have endorsed the “Green New Deal,” a concept that would have only a questionable impact on the environment, but would quite definitely result in massive blue collar job losses.  It is a position which oozes contempt for the needs of a vast number of hard-working Americans.

The contempt for American traditions and values is not restricted to The inability of males to have an erection hard http://deeprootsmag.org/2012/12/18/kind-of-sort-ofno-really-good-exceptional-even/ generic cialis online enough to have a satisfying sex.

Once considered sacrosanct, the Bill of Rights has been subjected to repeated attacks from the left, who contemptuously seek to limit the free speech provisions of the First Amendment, abolish the Second Amendment, and ignore the Ninth and Tenth Amendments which limit the power of the federal government.

To some extent, it explains why so many on the left seem eager to give the vote to non-citizens. Those not brought up with American values are far more friendly to left-wing provisions.  In polls, however, American citizens overwhelmingly reject that concept. In a poll quoted in The Hill about San Francisco’s move to allow noncitizens to vote, “According to the survey, which is a joint project of Hill.TV and the HarrisX polling company, 71 percent of respondents opposed San Francisco’s decision, while only 29 percent said they supported the move. Ninety-one percent of Republicans polled said they opposed giving the right to vote to noncitizens, as did 54 percent of Democrats. Seventy percent of independents said they were also in opposition to the decision. When respondents were asked the same question but with the wording changed to include the term “illegal immigrants” instead of non-U.S. citizens, the results were nearly the same. Sixty-nine percent of Americans said they opposed the measure, while only 31 percent said they supported the measure.”

It has been noted that It is logical that elitism rises simultaneous with the growth of support for socialism. The very concept of that approach to governance is based on the idea that a selected group can somehow make better decisions about how to run your family, your business, your life, than you.

This paradigm does not arise in a vacuum.  For several generations, American universities have metamorphosed from centers of learning to propaganda mills for socialist and other hard-left causes.  America’s young have been inundated with anti-individual right, anti-free market, anti-western value lies. CNS notes that at the University of Hawaii Professor Haunani-Kay Trask stated: “’We need to think very, very clearly about who the enemy is. The enemy is the United States of America and everyone who supports it.”
