Elitist
Just something that popped into my head while driving home a few nights ago. Inspired by being called a Latte-Sipper once too often.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Elitist

I believe in a few basic tenets of life,
Do unto others as you’d have done to you,
Don’t lie, cheat, steal.

I’m an elitist…

I don’t think it’s ok to hate other people because they don’t live like me.
Gay marriage? Help yourself…
I’ve met some gay folks in my life. I can’t exactly point them out though,
Shockingly, they looked just like you and me.

I’m an elitist…

Latte? No thanks.
The 79-cent cup of “coffee flavored coffee” at 7-11 suits me just fine.

I’m an elitist…

I don’t want another soldier to die in combat for lack of proper equipment.
I don’t want another soldier to die in combat for a cause that is never defined.
I don’t want another soldier to spend three tours in combat and come back to find the VA
No longer provides him support.

I’m an elitist…

I think John Lennon had a point.
Give Peace a chance…War is over if you want it…

I’m an elitist…

I want YOUR children to have a quality education, including science,
Because they are the future…
Could your child cure cancer? Well, let’s give him a shot.

I’m an elitist…

I believe anyone can pull themselves up by their bootstraps….
Sometimes they just need to borrow a pair of boots for awhile.

I’m an elitist.

1. I can visualize
"Elitist" framed and hanging on a wall for everyone to see. I like it a lot!
