if eliteness had anything to do with merit, that is
If you little people had the brains of a duck, you’d already realize that however....
Yes, aspirational for elite SWAT teams, and Gestapo squads.
You know, typical totalitarian police state stuff.
Yes, for them, elite is an aspirational term.
For the everyday working stiff paying taxes to support all of these “elites”, well, we just want a revolution to put the elites back in their places washing toilets and sweeping streets, which is the most they were ever any good for anyway.
Too bad that only a select few ever become part of the elite: this is obviously to ensure that the elite power structure is never challenged nor changed. It is not possible to “aspire” to be part of the elite when in fact they tap you to be part of it if you are willing to swear allegiance to them. This runs counter to the ideals of the founding of America & for the long term endurance of a free independent republic.
There’s a simple way to resolve the issue of Hollyweird’s “elites” . . . . . . . STOP PAYING FOR THEIR LIBERAL DRECK!!!!
(Did I say that out loud!!???)
Doesn’t Aaron Sorkin also believe that crack cocaine is good for getting the creative juices flowing.
Find me someone who is truly elite and not merely the modern equivalent of a court jester.
I suppose aspiring to be a snob and out of touch of average joe is considered a good thing for elitists
Nope. Just head to your nearest bittorrent site and download w/o paying for them and their liberal dreck. Oh crap, did I say that out loud??
Sounds like a quote from a selfish individualist and certainly nothing a good progressive might say.
What is wrong with the honest labor of washing toilets and sweeping streets? What are you, some kind of elitist?
It’s a very stupid word when being defined and spoken by a fool such as Sorkin.
> What are you, some kind of elitist?
Not at all. In fact, when interviewed for my current job, I was asked how I would react if I was told to do something beneath my qualifications. I said I would gladly wash toilets if told to do so. Later, one of the men that interviewed me told me that my response to that question weighed heavily in my favor.
My contention with the “elitists” that would tell us what to do and when to do it and how to do it is that, unlike my boss or any of my coworkers, they never did an honest day’s work.
Look at them. Ivory tower pinheads, the lot of them. Pampered and living off the public trough, they are and have been for virtually their entire adult lives.
