“Brexit,”
too, was an example of the elites being caught with their pants down. They
simply couldn’t believe that many folks would challenge the wisdom they so
generously espoused from atop their political thrones. With staggering- and
sickening- hubris, these elites have characterized Trump’s rise and Britain’s
E.U. exit as “illegitimate,” “irrational,” and as unforgivable effrontery- a
revolt against “expert’s” authority. To quote the “Church Lady” from the old
Saturday Night Live skit: “Well, isn’t that special!” It’s well past time these bureaucratic
bedsores took one on the chin.
This
revolt is anything but irrational. In America, the white working class is suffering
through declining marriage rates, wage rates that appear to be permanently
stagnated- or worse- and even declining life
expectancy. They see immigrants and robots taking jobs away from them while
their values are denigrated on a daily basis. They see the elites attempt to
take their firearms away from them at the same time as they strive to import
more and more immigrants into their communities, some from terrorist hotbeds. Their
eyes widen as the powers-that-be force-feed them transgender bathrooms and mock
Christianity while embracing Islam as a “religion of peace.” They bust their
ass and pay their taxes… and are rewarded by being called “hicks” and racists
and homophobes, even as they see more and more people being given a free ride,
courtesy of the government they pay for.
They
know they are not the aggressors, they are the aggrieved. They are not the
predators, but the prey. They have a big target on their backs, and they are
finally, logically, reasonably, getting
tired of it.
The
elites, for their part, don’t care. They know the end result of their own
policies. They carefully pander to every type of minority, as these groups will
be the majority in the very near future, and likely an overwhelming majority not that
long after that. In a twisted political dance, the “tolerant” elitists are
already boldly discriminating against a bare majority…in order to prove to the
large minorities that they won’t
discriminate against them!
Far too
many unelected, bureaucratic pencil-pushers in Washington and Brussels have
been granted nearly complete control over those they are supposedly to serve,
due to the cravenness of their elected “bosses.” These duplicitous diplomats
and sanctimonious “servants” sneer self-righteously at those who they
derisively say cling to “their God and their guns,” as they arouse themselves
by marinating in their own supposed superiority.
The
West and its acquired values of representative government, respect for the
individual, free will, free markets, discipline, work ethic, and reasoned
faith, led the world out of the Dark Ages. Bizarrely and remarkably, the truth
of the matter is that elites in the Western media, government, entertainment
and academia now are revolting against the same values that changed the world
so much for the better. Progressive?
It is
up to us to ensure that their revolt against logic, morality and sanity does not
succeed, no matter the consequences.
