    Default What does it mean to be an elitist?

    I thought to be elite meant to be among the best at something?

    Why is it bad to chose our president from among the best?

    When you self describe as elite.
    "Those who vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything." Joseph Stalin
    The USA has lost WWIV to China with no other weapons but China Virus and some cash to buy democrats.

    How was Johnson the best among us? He was corrupt and got us deep into the Vietnam war with no end in sight.

    How was Clinton the best among us? He couldn't keep his dick in his pants for two measly terms.

    How was Obama the best among us? He had the least experience running anything than any President before him and had his JD SPY on an opposition campaign.

    How was Hillary the best among us? She was a corrupt, unaccomplished, lying dunce.

    I have to laugh when goons on the left think they can lecture their opposition on what is right, moral and good.

    Someone or a political party that believes that they or it know best what is good for everyone else and then attempt to shove their views down everyone's throats.

    The liberal left in this country is a prime example. The Hollywood millionaires club another one. The best example would be the PHONY media owners club.

    in political terms 'elitist' defines those in power who consider themselves 'above' the ordinary commoner, believing that they are better suited to rule/govern us because of their ruling status...........i.e. bloomberg thinking that it's better that the poor are taxed higher, that way we have less money to hurt ourselves with, etc......
    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

    You do not get to invent your own definition of words.

    Provide the definition from Websters, Oxford, or other unimpeachable authoritative source

    Well, when it comes right down to it, he was married to Hillary. I guess you really can't blame him, can you?
    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    The thing about Trump is that no one gives a shit what a loony, lying, whiny leftist might think of him.
