Oikophobia

I saw the word Oikophobia today in an article, and it was new to me. Still, after looking it up (ok I did it online), I was pleased to find a word that is totally appropriate to describe the views of many of the self-named cultural elites of this country. Oikophobia is a dislike or fear of the virtues and beliefs of one's own society. If this is a Judeo-Christian society, then, to an oikophobe anything that smacks of either Judaism or Christianity is looked down on and must be quashed. If America has been built on equality of opportunity and the American dream, then we need to restructure society so that the individual opportunity to get ahead is blocked, success is limited and all outcomes are equal. If the society is based upon free speech, then we need to stop those outside the elite group from expressing their views by marginalizing them as racist, homophobes, or religious nuts. sound familiar? It should. I just described the ideological position of most of the Obamacrats.
