Elitist Jerk

"What I'm hearing, which is sort of scary, is they all want to stay in Texas. Everyone is so overwhelmed by the hospitality," Barbara Bush said during a radio interview with the American Public Media program "Marketplace." "And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this is working very well for them." read the article
Can the Bush clan make it any more clear just how elitist they really are? What was Bush's infamous line in Fahrenheit 9/11?

Some people call you the elite. I call you my base.

Yeah that was it. And now this lovely comment from his mother and former first lady Barbera Bush. Anyone in doubt about the fact that there are two Americas need only listen to the elitist Bush clan to know it's true. Or how about a recent comment by Bill O’Reilly:

“The aftermath of Hurricane Katrina should be taught in every American school -if you don't get educated, if you don't develop a skill, you'll most likely to be poor. And sooner or later you'll be standing on a symbolic rooftop waiting for help. Chances are that help will not be quick in coming."
Why won't help be quick in coming? Because you are poor! Because you are not a productive little cog in the American economy: you are expendable.

I'm mad as hell. It's time we realize that the elite are and have been waging a class war against us for some time. It's time that we gather together in solidarity, organize, and combat their radical agenda on all levels, whether it is the degredation of our environment, the expansion of empire, or the oppression of our poor right in this country. We need to stand up and let them know that we're not going to stand for it.

Yesterday Jerry Quickley was asking, "Revolution yes or no?" My answer is an overwhelming yes. What's your answer?

Defend the bad against the worse."
