an apologist

i finally got around to actually reading the "anonymous" n y times editorial that is alleged ( the issue with anonymity is that responsibility and identity or both tossed out the window..it is why criminals, klansmen, and terrorists wear masks..credibility also flies the coop with it ) to have been written by a "senior white house official"...it is critical of the president which i have no particular argument with..it is, however, not critical of the administrations policies..."we want the administration to succeed and think many of its policies have made america safer and more prosperous."...prosperous for whom is a question that leaps to mind...certainly not working people who are being squeezed by the upward redistribution of wealth at least in part enshrined in "historic tax reform"...the writer bemoans the presidents lack of "first principles " and his seeming disrespect for the republican way..."although he was elected as a republican, the president shows little affinity for the ideals long espoused by conservatives ( of which the writer is clearly one ) free minds, free markets, and free people."...as long as you are of the correct linage, hold the proper ideological view, and, for a country with one of the largest prison populations in the world and the balance of the population headed int debt penury that "free people" is a howler...republican "ideals" have a bedrock base of social darwinism that says the wealth are so because they are the "fittest" and poor people are poor because they are "unfit" and so deserve their status...a cheap reinforcement of a hegemonic culture steeped in greed and exceptionalism...the writer claims the interior resistance is "not the work of the deep state. it is the work of the steady state." no..it is the work of members of the elite, rightly frightened that the blowback from the president's seeming psychosis and self-entitlement may actually engender a reform movement that would infringe on their prerogatives to make themselves wealthy at the expense of the general population...whoever this is they are not a "resister"...they are an apologist for the system that is steadily undermining the economic health of the mass of the people for the benefit of the few...i am not having any of this, thanks..the writer and the elitist n y times can pound sand.
