The last note tonight about Republicans

I never thought I would actually post a link on comments from a Republican, but Mike Murphy, a Republican political consultant, has some interesting reservations about Sarah Palin. He is also now infamously known for being a two-face. Yesterday, he made some unsupportive open-mic comments about Palin.

Clueless Republicans

Some people are so clueless that they don't realize that "uppity" in reference to African-Americans has an extremely negative connotation, going back to the days of slavery. Masters called disobedient slaves "uppity". The latest example of how some Republican politicians are out of touch with everyday people is illustrated by U.S. Representative from Georgia, Lynn Westmoreland.

How does earning a good education, using student loans and scholarships, make someone "uppity"? How does helping laid-off white workers as a community organizer make someone "uppity"? Isn't it the American dream to come from humble beginnings to national prominence?

Get a clue.

Here is a good take on elitism from George F. Will.
