Obama’s Presidency of Moral Condescension Has Produced a Backlash

[LowDown]

At the Wall Street Journal:

Political correctness added something new to the cultural divide: moral condescension.

What has really “angered” so many more millions who now feel drawn into the Trump camp isn’t just PC itself but that its proponents show such relentless moral contempt and superiority toward everyone else. People in America can take a lot, but not that. Marx would have a field day with how progressivism’s cultural elites have reordered social classes between the right-minded and everyone else.

Despite years of winning Supreme Court assent to their views, the left insists that the other side must remain on the moral hook. On race, sex or the environment the moralistic left seems to think it can keep the population incarcerated forever on vague, unproven charges of cultural guilt. For what?

In nearly eight years of presidential speeches, Barack Obama, by explicit choice, has come to embody the holier-than-thou idea of showing secular moral contempt for those who disagree with him.

Yeah, to hell with these people. "Silly and immature" are the terms that best characterize this crowd. The smug these people go around wearing on their sleeves reminds one so much of Junior High School.

Hmm... is this post not an example of showing moral contempt for those who disagree with you?

Explain why an idea, program or policy is bad but skip the attempts to put down the "moral character" of its proponents.

I had thought less of "moral contempt" than impatience with those demonstrating an attitude of "moral condescension".

True. Did you get to read David Limbaugh's article about BO and his biases?

He's spot on.
