Defining the real 'Elite'

Elite: a group of people regarded as superior in some way and therefore favored (Oxford American Dictionary, 1980)

Among the elite would be owners of sports teams, corporations, dressage horses that compete in the Olympics, i.e., people with tons of money and outsized bank accounts in Switzerland, the Cayman Islands, Bermuda, etc.

Wait. Don’t Republicans hate the ‘elite’? Obviously, they’re confused about the true meaning of the word ‘elite.’

But just in time, Rick Santorum explains it all for us. He said " . . . we [conservative Republicans] will never have the elite, smart people on our side."

Ah, now that makes sense. Anyone with a working brain cell is obviously not going to vote for any of those anti-intellectual Republicans.

Thank goodness we were warned!

Update on my Open Letter to Romney and Gay Marriage Opponents

I just emailed a copy of my recent “Open Letter to Mitt Romney and other Gay Marriage Opponents” to campaign websites of the following Republican presidential candidates:

Michele Bachmann
Newt Gingrich
Jon Huntsman Jr.
Ron Paul
Buddy Roemer
Mitt Romney
Rick Santorum

I also wanted to email the Open Letter to Rick Perry’s campaign website, but there is no email address listed where someone can send a statement that he and his staff haven’t pre-approved. Obviously, he doesn’t want to be told anything that contradicts his almighty positions.
