Such Pretentious Conceit

Those currently imposing their rules on the rest of us are consumed with incredible hubris and accompanying this is the wonderful ability to cast blame on others for their own failings and a readiness to claim credit for the accomplishments of others. These traits of our current elite ruling class are reinforced by false pride of moral superiority, certitude, rectitude, and triumphalism (not one of which is merited). These politicians in Washington who deign to take away our self-determination and dictate our destiny are by in large not able to repair their own vehicles, maintain their own properties, fix their own toilets, and in a survival situation, it is highly unlikely that they could even set a snare trap to catch the family dinner, but they are well and capable of forcing you to buy a particular health insurance policy or forcing you to purchase a light bulb that will contaminate your house with mercury should it ever break. Then we have last week where Vice President Joseph Biden, a walking gaffe if there ever was one, lambasted an audience of supporters as the most "dull" that he had ever seen- coming from a dullard like the Vice President some might contend Old Joe was calling the kettle black. But Biden's criticism was no slip of the tongue or mere one off as this administration is putting narcissism on full display with President Barack Hussein Obama himself chiding his 2008 supporters earlier for their "lack of enthusiasm" about the coming November election. This "blame the base" to invigorate it seems to be a tactical decision to actually motivate lagging Democrats but more than that to have someone beyond themselves to point the finger of blame at if the party does sustain an epic loss in the coming vote. This scapegoating of supporters may avoid soul searching self-scrutiny in high Democrat circles but it is doubtful that the elites in that flagging party can ever rekindle the spirit of 2008 where even to many of his most vociferous backers Barack Hussein Obama was a blank slate onto which the naive could transfer their hopes, dreams, and aspirations. Now that the electorate knows Obama and the elite ruling cadre well, for their pride and their prejudice, they will never be able to put one over on us again.
