So riddle me this, why is it that anyone with the
slightest amount of commonsense would want to waste any amount of time
listening to some wacky leftwing TV cook regarding their opinion on American
politics? Especially one that is little
more than just another brain-dead liberal. It’s right up there with choosing to listen to
the many ‘half-baked’ Hollyweird loons who spew their idiotic drivel. But it was in an interview with Reason
magazine that Anthony Bourdain, and rather surprisingly so, confessed that he
is "nauseated" by the contempt with which "privileged Eastern
liberals such as myself" hold their fellow red state Americans.
Apparently, Mr. Bourdain, well-known celebrity cook
and self-described “privileged Eastern liberal”, slammed his fellow leftist
elites this week, arguing that their disdain for working-class Americans is
what helped to create “the upswell of rage and contempt” that in turn helped to
propel Donald Trump to the presidency. Bourdain was quoted as saying, “The utter
contempt with which privileged Eastern liberals such as myself discuss
red-state, gun-country, working-class America as ridiculous and morons and
rubes is largely responsible for the upswell of rage and contempt and desire to
pull down the temple that we're seeing now.”
He said, “I've spent a lot of time in gun-country,
God-fearing America. There are a hell of a lot of nice people out there, who
are doing what everyone else in this world is trying to do: the best they can
to get by, and take care of themselves and the people they love. When we deny
them their basic humanity and legitimacy of their views, however different they
may be than ours, when we mock them at every turn, and treat them with
contempt, we do no one any good. Nothing nauseates me more than preaching to
the converted.” As far as I’m concerned
Bourdain is just one more leftwing hypocrite on what has come to be a very long
list of many.
Bourdain, who is a New York City native and an
outspoken critic of the president-elect, said he thinks “the rise of
authoritarianism” is a “global trend and one that should be of concern to
everyone.” Still, he argued, the belittling or dismissive attitudes of his
peers toward Trump’s supporters is counterproductive. He said, “The self-congratulatory tone of the
privileged left — just repeating and repeating and repeating the outrages of
the opposition — this does not win hearts and minds.” And then he went on to say, “It doesn’t
change anyone’s opinions. It only solidifies them and makes things worse for
all of us.” Pretty profound for a cook.
Apparently he was also asked his opinion of HBO host
Bill Maher. Bourdain appeared on Maher's
show Real Time a few years back and, as we can see, it didn't leave a very
favorable impression. And it was
regarding Mr. Maher that Bourdain said, “[Maher is] insufferably smug. Really
the worst of the smug, self-congratulatory left. I have a low opinion of him. I
did not have an enjoyable experience on his show. Not a show I plan to do
again. He's a classic example of the smirking, contemptuous, privileged guy who
lives in a bubble. And he is in no way looking to reach outside, or even look
outside, of that bubble, in an empathetic way.”
With all that said I think it might be worth noting Bourdain
really ain’t that much of a fan of those who live in flyover country either. As proof of that I offer other comments of
note from the TV cook which include the time that he said the world would only
be at peace when Whites are bred out of existence. Or when he attributed the supposed harmony of
Singaporean society to miscegenation. In
reality, Singapore owes its orderliness to harsh laws that are very strictly
enforced. The population there is 70 percent ethnic Chinese, and they give no
sign of wanting to mix with the native Malay Muslims, imported Africans, or
anyone else.
This guy Bourdain is another one of those left wing
creeps who were they to be living in any country other than the good old U. S.
of A., would be selling pencils on some street corner. Like most of his leftwing compatriots who
call Hollyweird home, he has more money than sense. Personally, I think Mr. Bourdain is just
another frustrated Hitlery supporter who has yet to come to grips with the fact
that his favored candidate lost. He too seems
to suffer from that which has come to infect so many on the left known as Trump
derangement syndrome. I see his recent interview
with Reason magazine as being little more than some weird form of therapy.
