Downton Abbey "Poses A Threat To The Left" Because It Portrays Nice Rich People, So Says Fox News



The popularity of Downton Abbey in America is a threat to progressives because it celebrates rich people, according to FOX & Friends:

“Rich people, powerful people, in America today, are reviled,” Varney said. “They’re dismissed as fat cats who don’t pay their fair share.” The general consensus is that “rich people are evil.”

Then comes along Downton Abbey… making rich people seem nice. The characters in the show are kind and generous. “They create jobs, for heaven’s sake. They’re classy, they’ve got style.”

“It poses a threat to the left, doesn’t it?” he asked. Because the left says we must hate rich people.

I can't stand those "not my president" people. HE'S THE PRESIDENT OF EVERYTHING, GET OVER IT.

It's like, dude, I lived through eight years of Bush. You can do it, I promise.

President of everything indeed - the WHOLE WORLD has to bow to the US president, whether he's a nice man or a dimwit, and also to the US Congress and the US Senate. If WE can deal with it and we didn't even VOTE for these people, so can she.

apart from the brouhaha concerning the legitimacy / shenanigans of his first election, I don't recall anti-Bush people saying he's not my president.
