Smart Car Politics by Stephen Guy Hardin 5/22/09
I live and work in the Atlanta metro area and in the course of my travels I visit many different parts of this vast and divergent city. Atlanta like many cities across the nation has a variety of political opinion and party affiliation based upon the politics of which area of town you live in. And like virtually every large city I am familiar with the downtown areas of Atlanta are overwhelming liberal Democrat. This includes the very rich and very white areas known as Buckhead, Mid-Town and Vinnings. Big mansions, big money and usually big cars. Usually.
While winding through the nefarious downtown traffic we consider normal I found myself following a bright new yellow Smart car. As we inched along West Paces Ferry in one of the wealthiest, old money areas Atlanta has to offer, I was astonished and then bemused to see the bright new yellow Smart car pull through the electronically controlled gates of one of the biggest and most over the top U2 lead singer style mansions along this avenue bursting with over the top nouveau rich fake Southern mansions.
Of course the conclusions and observations are obvious to anyone with barely a middle school education, which includes the majority of liberals (ouch), but what better and deliciously appropriate example of the herd mentality and flagrant hypocrisy of the elitist Left could possibly be presented and on a silver platter no less. Yummy!
Oh, I forgot to mention the customized vanity plate.... "B Smart" . Seriously, folks I couldn’t make this stuff up.
It's just another example of Spielberg/Soras style politics. The politics of Pelosi and Clinton and Kerry… millionaires all. Play to your false self-aggrandizing ideology when traveling among the unwashed masses, but at night make sure you are able to put your slippers under a king-sized bed in a king-sized mansion. Smart car politics at its most obvious.
