but in reality it stands for "compromise, conformity, assimilation, submission, Ignorance, hypocrisy, brutality, and the elite."
i find nothing wrong with elitism if it contains an inclusive demcratic element.
the gov't does not compromise the people do.
conformity/assimilation is a crucial part of elitism and gov't. assimilation may seem bad but it isnt when you know that its easier to make changes from within than without. conformity is a choice. it's "whats your level of commitment?"
.
hypocrisy is a tool of power. no one is innocent of this.
submission/brutality is a tool of war. but it is a necessity to preserve the constitution of a gov't. they are the precursor to conformity/assimilation.
Ignorance is a two-fold problem. 1. some people chose to ignore to balm there conscious. others are ignore-ant because they find bliss in ridiculousness. 2.many are mislead because of propaganda. one would be a dork to refute the obviousness of the american propaganda machine. "fox news", "bill oriely", "rush limbaugh", and "sean hannity" oh! and the bitches on "the view" LOL. many americans dont KNOW what or HOW to think therefore they rely on others who are financially or politically motivated to form there opinions for them.
this is also due to conformity. in general americans dont want to be unpopular. therefore they feed on what is professed that they "should" do in order to fall in line.
i dont say that any of this is good or bad. but i do say this. knowledge and convictions are good but at the end of the day they dont mean shit if you dont have the power to exercise them.
@MC - it is becoming obvious to me that you share a right winged view of america. my assumption is that you come from an upper middle to higher class baccground. theres nothing wrong with this. but i think (even if you are not) you are very insensitive to those that are not of your ilk.
patriots are likend unto football fanatics. they have the same mentality of racist. some times its good to question your stance with the team youre playing for
