Hello.

I an new here.

I am a Republican, fiscal conservative, somewhat less conservative socially.

fat mike has described me as unapologetically elitist which is apt.

Noblese oblige is something that Faulkner talked about and I like the idea as a kind of mocking of the left who run the welfare plantation.

Of course Faulkner's noblese oblige is preferrable to whats-his-name's white man's burden..

Of course whats-his-name was a super bigot.

Anyhoo, mucho gusto.

Howdy, neighbor! Welcome to Political Wrinkles. I'm sure you will add much to our discussion and debate.

I'm curious; are you speaking of this 'what's his name' ?

Take up the White Man's burden--
Send forth the best ye breed--
Go bind your sons to exile
To serve your captives' need; http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/mod/Kipling.html

or this one?

"Indeed you can usually tell when the concepts of democracy and citizenship are weakening. There is an increase in the role of charity and in the worship of volunteerism. These represent the élite citizen's imitation of noblesse oblige; that is, of pretending to be aristocrats or oligarchs, as opposed to being citizens." — John Ralston Saul

Anyway, again, welcome!

Yes, that isn't credited, but that is the English super-bigot right?












Thanks everyone for the welcome. I hope that I don't make anyone regret their graciousness with my pugnaciousness!

Oh yeah.

I kind of see everything thru partisan colored glasses.
