After watching the news and reading the comments on face
book I started realizing how unsophisticated some of my family members and
friends are Supporting Trump? “what, could they be thinking?” not to mention
others around town that have unintelligent ideas of politics, you would think
they would refrain from having an opinion at all but ignorance begets ignorance
I guess. Not much of a cure for that, although I do have other word's that they
may understand like, Parasite, toady, leech or sponge which means a usually
obsequious flatterer or self-seeker. Parasite to one who clings to a person of
wealth, power, or influence or is useless to society (a
jet-setter with an entourage of parasites.) Sycophant adds to this
a strong suggestion of fawning, flattery, or adulation (a
powerful prince surrounded by sycophants). Toady emphasizes the servility and snobbery of the self-seeker (cultivated
leaders of society and became their toady). Leech stresses persistence in clinging to or bleeding another for
one's own advantage (a
leech living off his family and friends). Sponge stresses the parasitic laziness, dependence, and
opportunism of the cadger (a shiftless sponge, always looking for a handout). or a hand up.In the 1530s (in Latin form sycophanta), "informer, talebearer, slanderer," from Latin sycophanta, from Greek sycophants’, originally "one who shows the fig," from sykon "fig" + phanein "to show." "Showing the fig" was a vulgar gesture made by sticking the thumb between two fingers, a display which vaguely resembles a fig, itself symbolic of a vagina (sykon also meant "vulva"). The story goes that prominent politicians in ancient Greece held aloof from such inflammatory gestures, but privately urged their followers to taunt their opponents. The sense of "mean, servile flatterer" is first recorded in English 1570s.
The word "sycophant" entered the English and French languages in the mid-16th Century, and originally had the same meaning in English and French (sycophante) as in Greek, a false accuser. Today, in Greek and French it retains the original meaning.
The meaning in English has changed over time, however, and came to mean an insincere flatterer. The common thread in the older and current meanings is that the sycophant is in both instances portrayed as a kind of parasite, speaking falsely and insincerely in the accusation or the flattery for gain. The Greek plays often combined in one single character the elements of the parasite and the sycophant, and the natural similarities of the two closely related types led to the shift in the meaning of the word. The sycophant in both meanings can also be viewed as two sides of the same coin: the same person currying one's favor by insincere flattery is also spreading false tales and accusations behind one's back. In Renaissance English, the word was used in both senses and meanings, that of the Greek informer, and the current sense of a "flattering parasite", with both being cast as enemies—not only of those they wrong, but also of the person or state that they ostensibly serve.
I know most of you may not understand the insult, I can assure you it’s well thought, As I am bewildered by your atrocities of thinking aloud. I can’t explain without sounding more intelligent then you, but it’s true. I know I am. So I feel justified in my statements, there for I make a stand,
Following the political atmasphire of today I relize some of your prejudice is not justicefied or warnted and thoe I cant tell you what to think I can however educate you on how to keep your thoughts to your self and stop embarrassing you and your family, you may consider wathching Startrek and learn a few things about tolarance of others,As many of you concider claming you have certian alianable rights and feel you have a right to trod on others, my thought is simple you don’t have that right to expect to vialate others rights and be vindacated in your judgement. Further more sit back and avaluate your selves and ask your self ( “Is this all there is to me?”)
It may invoke realaty or not, You may just begone to far to fix your self.
"Nothing is more important than our word, it truly is our only value"
