18. The Journal News represents the hypocrisy of the elites.

The elites will have the wherewithal to have their machine guns (and drones too) at the ready protecting the irrational beliefs of their paranoid owners who perceive threats by humanity, while dumbed down average Americans will wait forever for an answer from the 911 operator.

No thanks, I want the right to have my own level of protection whatever I deem necessary, be it AR15s or shotguns. I refuse to heed what rich elites with Blackwater on contingency claim we the peons should have. As OWS has said, fxck the elites.

The idea that progressives have somehow allowed themselves to become overly dumbed down and emotionally gullible and susceptible to pure propaganda of the billionaire elite, who want our pensions and Social Security, while these oligarchs are entitled to military protection, needs to be exposed and openly discussed.

If the foo shxts wear it: Elite: An elite in political and sociological theory, is a small group of people who control a disproportionate amount of wealth or political power. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elite
