This is What They Think of You

A friend of mine sent this to me today upon finding out I had ‘converted’ and would be voting Republican in November.

If this isn’t the epitome of Liberal elitism, I don’t know what is. I particularly liked the caricature of the poor working class (who Liberals claim to support and represent) who apparently only vote Republican because they are just to dumb to know any better.

Not to mention the depiction of all rich people as greedy and selfish snobs, whose children are of course irresponsible coke head brats, and whose only rationale for opposing the estate tax is greed. Because God forbid you should be able pass on to your kids what you’ve worked your entire life to build without the government snagging some so they can waste it.

And of course there’s…well me. Apparently my opposition to taxes stems from my greed, which is odd considering I’m a college student who gets all of his taxes back every year. But clearly, since all political action is motivated by self interest, a hunger for money is the only thing that could possibly trump a desire to use the government to force people to accept me. Or maybe I just don’t believe the government should criminalize thoughts (and what do hate crimes laws do, if not criminalize what a person is thinking when they commit a crime?), or dictate to private employers who and how they can and cannot hire.

I really hope more like this comes out during the election, because even Obama can’t dodge the elitism bullet. At least now we know were Obama met those “bitter” voters “clinging to guns or religion.”
