Vanity: Offend Your Liberal Friends - A Critique of Mainstream Journalists
self, this here post | 09-24-2012 | self

Posted on 09/24/2012 4:04:29 AM PDT by Puddleglum

We have the first slacker stoner president. He is beloved by journalists who were and are themselves slackers and stoners - opinions without achievements, wielders of easy, worthless degrees paid for by their parents, minds filled with debris and the occasional scraps from great thinkers but witho...ut the mental effort to understand, attain, earn, or contextualize the scraps.

Slackers and stoners are not the poor nor do they sympathize with the poor, they only utilize them -they are the spoiled children of the upper middle class and rich -they are almost singularly the children of people who worked hard. They resent people who work hard because they remind them of their disapproving parents.

They do not admire the working middle class -they view them as useful but unenlightened, and resent them when they refuse to be used instrumentally or resist enlightenment, and bitterly cling to their religion and their guns.

They do not believe that peace and love can replace the world's need for wealth -they need and want wealth. They only differ from the wealthy in that believe they are due wealth just by being morally superior to work. They are convinced of nothing so much as of their moral superiority. They constantly reaffirm this to each other.

Mea culpa for the vanity - had this rant brewing in me. This is a little thing I wrote up in trying to understand the media and the people I know who suck up their blarney like hummingbirds suck up nectar. A vanity I had to git out of my system - apologies to non-journalists.

Nice write up. If I had any liberal friends, I’d use it.

Obama, his mentors, handlers and heroes are communist. What great 'scraps' doesn't he understand?

Well, I would say that most journalists and Obama sat at the feet of Marxist professors and believed the whoppers that even the profs knew were BS - the human dignity angle, the idea that a more just society is the end game. Stalin knew this was BS. Not sure these mental midgets do.

I think Obama only uses the “social justice” thing as a means of gaining personal power, fame and wealth for himself. Like most communists, he’s an ego maniac. He doesn’t really give a crap about the condition of other people, except as an opportunity to exploit them.
