The problem with the city idiots is that they all have the mentality that the rest of the country is beneath them and that we all live just to support them and their beehive socialist existence.
I hate cities, and I hate the socialist, entitlement, opressed, mentality that goes with that territory.
They stack people on top of each other so they can pack the polls with the entitlement mentality. They feed the fabricate mentality of the oppressed minorities so they can keep them in their rightful place and that is the democratic lines at the voting booth. Basically the democrats create and hold a population of social economic lower class people so they have someone to point to for their socialist programs and to control and for their votes.
Out in the real world if there isn't a job locally then we move to where there is work. Entitlements are something that embarrass us. And get this, Fathers actually stay home with their families and raise their own children!!!!!
Out here in fly over land, parents think education is very important and they do what ever is necessary to make sure their children complete high school and go on to college. Here in the small towns and cities Parents make the decisions for their kids lives. We do not leave these decisions up to the local gangs. Hunting and fishing are still considered family sports and we make sure our children know how to handle firearms safely and responsibly. Firearms education is not left up to the television set or the street gangs. I could go on for many more pages but I hope I have made my point. The culture of the cities is revolting to most of rural America. There are some good people in cities, they either are financially able to live above the reality of the streets or the save up their dimes and leave for greener pastures. With the accepted fact that our children are the future of our nation you need look no further to see the huge cultural difference between the democratic socialist cities and the conservative rural America. Less than half of the city kids will even finish high school while over 85% of the rural kids will become high school graduates. The percentage of the rural kids that will attend and or graduate from college is over ten times that of city raised kids. Which one of these futures do you want for your children? The socialist democrats will convince these highly trained masses that they have no choice of something different and no hope for success. So the inner city will stay full and the socialist democrats will line their pockest with money and enjoy their positions of power as millions of children fail to thrive. It is one hell of a plan and it continues to work like a charm.
I agree with your analysis, oldenuff. I worked in Manhattan for 19 years.
I have worked with some of the Manhattan “intellectual elites”, and I can assure you that “they” have utter contempt for old-fashioned American values (such as independence, honesty, self sufficiency, helping your neighbor). They are statists, pure and simple, but consider themselves the enlightened few who are capable of running things.
Bloomberg, obviously, exemplifies the whole sorry bunch of them. As does Giuliani, btw.
Fishing and hunting are as alien to these elites as is polo and weird art forms like cubism to most Americans. And they like heavy regulation and taxation to keep others out of their elitist camps.
We used to just call them “limosine liberals.” The term has fallen out of favor, but I think it still describes the typical Manhattan lefty quite well.
