Real Threat To America: Entitled Elites

David T. Cloft has written a short, but brilliant, essay that explains how America has become a society that is being ruled by people who consider themselves to be superior to the masses, despite the fact that they could not exist without us. SEE BELOW As a professional, albeit Conservative, woman, I rubbed elbows with these arrogant jackasses for years. The following interaction in 2011 will give you an idea of the kind of people David is talking about. Their contemptuousness toward those they perceive as inferior is palpable:

In 2011 the American economy had been stagnant for three years. President Obama had no plans to improve it. I read an article about how the State of North Dakota’s economy was booming. Indeed, it was the only state who was not “participating” in what I call the Bush/Obama Recession. I went to college in North Dakota, graduating from Minot State University; therefore, I was curious and read the article. ND had a booming economy because, some years earlier, the state’s elected officials had implemented a program to develop the fossil fuel industry in their state.

I made the “mistake” of mentioning this during a meeting with eight other professionals. Except for me and an immigrant from China, all were Liberals. I knew these professionals^ quite well because we had been meeting weekly for several years. Nevertheless, I was shocked at their contemptuous responses. The doctor laughed “no one wants to live North Dakota.” An engineer claimed no one lived in North Dakota because they had all moved to the West Coast. The woman who worked for Nike smirked as she bragged about her recent raise in salary. America’s and Oregon’s economies were booming, she claimed. This, despite the fact that Oregonians were suffering through the highest unemployment rate in several decades, and nationwide unemployment was over 9% for over two years between 2009 and 2011.

David explains the self-centered blindness of this type of American better than I can:

The Real Threat to Society: Entitled, Credentialed Elites

Check out all articles written by David Cloft and other citizen/writers on America Free News Network. I also have the honor of writing for AFNN.

^This group of, as David Cloft called them, “credentialed elites” included three engineers, one medical doctor, one attorney (me), one college professor (the other Conservative), one supervisor of a government agency, two well-paid saleswomen for Adidas & Nike.
