What an entitled, elitist fool.

"Fool" being the nicest term I could come up with for her after watching her on the PBS Finding Your Roots show.

She was actually embarrassed to find out that she came from 'establishment' families. She has been so indoctrinated to believe that 'the establishment' is her enemy she couldn't fathom imagining that she descended from anything other than peasants. She looked like she was going to vomit after hearing about her privileged background. What an idiot.

Really? Of all the cool things you found your about your family the most important thing is that you are peeved about being super distant cousins with the Bush family??? Never mind how honored you should be that your ancestors helped found America, that they were there from the beginning.

Sorry, Maggie, to break your fantasy about being a good Fellow Traveler, but you ARE the 1%. You already were with your fancy hollywood job and even more so with your fancy pedigree, but now you know that you and yours are, am, always will be ELITE...you and your wannabe elitist crap that makes you think your "art" qualifies you as proletariat.

I'm sure this Roots thing will not keep you up at night, though. Progs seldom have a conscience when it comes to the cognitive dissonance. But I do want you to remember that you are royalty and mayflower and all that crap because...

You ARE the 1%. Suck on it Maggie.

Christ, we still have states that actually allow children into a creation museum-and some people who believe this way are actually allowed to have families, make decisions for them or even in a political seat.

It's called freedom. And for the record I am not a creationist.
