Government Of The Elites, By The Elites, For The Elites

As the great philosopher Confucius said, "May you live in interesting times," and yes we do (or is that "Yes We Can"?) Never in my lifetime did I ever expect to see what is happening in this country today; there is a De-facto civil war between a mandarin class who says, "Yes We Can," who wants to control you for your own and the common good, and the rest of us who say, "No You Won't." Actually, using the term "class" is a misnomer. What I should have said is "caste." We are witnessing the final stages of the establishment of a caste system in America that began with the Progressive Movement in this country in the late 1800s and early 1900s. If you study history you can follow this phenomenon back to ancient times. During the time of the Roman Empire the mandarins were the patricians. In ancient Greece they were the oligarchs. How about the French aristocracy? Remember Marie Antoinette's comment about the peasants cry for bread, "let them eat cake." What about the English gentry? Mix these all together into one big stinking pot of elitism, and you have the American mandarin ruling class of self-important "Progressive" elites who are now in the process of establishing a feudal socialist society here in America ruled by scornful, jealous, elitist, highly educated, self-serving, Fascist "Progressives." Sorry hippies, Fascism is a left wing ideology not a right wing one. Both Hitler and Mussolini were avid students and believers in the teachings and beliefs of Kark Marx and Fredrich Engles. Go do your homework for a change and stop listening to the useful idiots and fellow travellers riding the bus driven by good old Uncle Joe...as in Josef Stalin. That mass murderer, by the way who starved to death over 20 million of his own people, was able to pull off the greatest public relations stunt in history. Stalin was able to deliver the Big Lie that Fascism was right wing rather than left wing. However, if you useful idiots do a little research, you'll see that it's just the opposite. What's that you say? You don't have time for such trivial matters. OK, go back to your iTunes and trying to find a way to make as much money as possible, while you do as little work as possible. After all, you are entitled to what is mine, at least in your spoiled sanctimonius minds. Aren't you just so special...

How do you become part of the Mandarin ruling caste? It's easy. Just be a highly educated liberal who believes that rest of America, especially those that earn their livelihood through manual labor are scum. It's the fashionable thing to do. The higher up the mandarin caste you go, the more liberal you are expected to be. Highly educated conservatives need not apply.

It's not about economics. A high school drop out who owns, heaven forbid, five McDonald's franchises and makes twenty million dollars per year will never be a member of the mandarin caste. In fact, he will be despised by the mandarin class. It's about education level in "certain" fields coupled with the "correct" ideology and world view. You have to hate Capitalism and love Socialism. You want Socialism in order to perpetuate the status quo. Your status quo. You climbed the ladder, and then you pulled the ladder up after you, so that the unwashed scum can never reach you on your high and mighty perch. Granted, most of the members of the mandarin caste are well educated and therefore make fairly decent incomes. In our service oriented economy, those with more education will make more money than those that don't. Lawyers make more money than clerks at WalMart . In government employment, you have to have a college degree in order to draw GS-13 or above pay, no matter what the job. The left wants to establish this caste in the private sector too. That way we can be like Europe, and have a command and control economy where your income is controlled by the government no matter what industry you work in. The problem, however, is the entrepreneur . Unlike in Europe where most small business owners and tradesmen make less than a school teacher, in our capitalistic economy that high school graduate or dropout who owns, heaven forbid, a couple of fast food franchises or an auto parts store, is going to make a lot more money than that teacher with a Masters Degree. So will an established mechanic, plumber or electrician. That drives the mandarins crazy. It's not fair.

Teaching is a mandarin profession despite its lower pay on the average from other mandarin occupations like law and being a public relations director. So is being a social worker or working for a non-profit. None of those occupations are upper middle class, yet they are mandarin, because they fit into the Socialist master plan. The small business owner is not a mandarin, and let's face it, there is a jealousy factor in place here. The mandarins on the Left can not stand the fact that the working class and lower middle class here in the United States can afford property, air conditioning, cable TV, ample food, vacations, and/or a college education for their children. These things should only be available for the mandarin Marxist Elites that know what is better for us than us. When people actually have disposable income, they are less likely to be able to be controlled by the mandarin Elite class that thrives on power, and the Left is doing everything in its power to change that. Only the educated elites should own property, have enough to eat (hunger is a great motivator to make you shut up and do as you are told), have quality leisure time, and have access to higher education.

The mandarin caste is attempting to create a society here in America that is similar to what is reality in Western Europe. Go to France, Italy, Spain, Greece, Belgium and England. You see an awful lot of poor middle class people. You have your titled aristocracy and your super wealthy. You have your highly educated professional upper middle class who live quite well. You then have your lower middle class and working class tradesmen and factory workers who live about one notch above where a ghetto welfare recipient lives here in the United States.

The problem for the elites is this: This is America. We have a large independent middle class. Middle America despises elitism and condescension. Consequently, the "peasants" are revolting, and revolting doesn't mean the Left's definition of revolting (i.e. disgusting). It means the little people are getting really pissed off and are ready for their own version of "Hope and Change." Let's hope that things start going back to normal after the November elections...and let's hope that the Republicans finally get the message and start running candidates that can win. That also means that in 2012, you don't run another George W. Bush. The Republicans need to run a young, articulate, dynamic candidate for president who can connect with the young people who stupidly voted against their best interest for the "messiah" who promised them all sorts of free stuff paid for by someone else. That candidate needs to show them in very plain English just how dangerous Obama is to the future of the young people trying to enter the job market, raise a family, and achieve their part of the American Dream.

Once the young people and the non-government, non-SEIU, non-big labor middle class is back on board and conservatives are back in power, it's going to be time, finally, to take the Socialists, Communists, and "Progressives" down once and for all. The Right needs to grow some backbone and go toe to toe with the Left...and never back down again. No more wimps. No more Mr. Nice Guy. This time it's got to be serious. I will present my thoughts as to how to restore this country in subsequent posts.
