Elite [ e·lite or é·lite ] (n.)

1. A group or class of persons or a member of such a group or class, enjoying superior intellectual, social, or economic status:
2. The best or most skilled members of a group: the football team's elite.

Example: The US Navy Seals are best described as The Elite Navy Seals.

The Commander-In-Chief of an ELITE group of our finest warriors: shouldn't s/he also be ELITE? Americans deserve the finest, the most elite of leaders.

In one day of campaigning (10/06/2008), McPalin threw red meat to frightened, angry crowds, and drew out responses (to the mention of Barack Obama) such as "terrorist!" and "kill him!" After candidate's reference to the news media, one person in the lynch mob looked at a (black) media crew member and said "SIT DOWN, BOY!"

No doubt, everyone in those assemblages would call themselves "Christians." Yet, they act like the hordes who demanded that Pontious Pilate execute Jesus of Nazareth.

You heard it here first: John McBush and his by golly, folksy, charming, gosh, gee-wilickers accessory will continue to whip their crowds into ugly frenzies. Then the candidates will 'wash their hands' to exonerate themselves of guilt for their followers' horrific behavior. If the analogy escapes you, check out The Bible, Matthew 27:24

When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it. [ King James Version ]

Shouldn't our leaders bring out the best in us? Or should we settle for someone who brings out our worst?
