he calls critics “morons”

There are several reasons to be offended that he recently called his critics “morons”
—but here’s something I haven’t seen anyone discuss:
the word “moron” was originally a psychological term referring to a type of mental retardation, and in modern polite society it is considered offensive.
(Don’t believe me? Then read this, or this, or this, or this.) I expect more class from public officials.
This is like him calling his critics a bunch of “retards,” or something.
I encourage everyone to read the full text article. In short, he supports a rate increase from Duke Energy so the City can get a few million dollars to develop their pie-in-the-sky downtown choo-choo train.
In other words, faced with hard economic times, worsening market conditions, and the ever-increasing price of natural gas, wants all of us to pay more for our energy bill so some downtown parcels can benefit from having a permanent choo-choo track laid in the street.
And he is using words like “moronic” to classify all those who would dare disagree with his corporate-friendly policy.
I find his use of language telling.
This is not the first time he has fired off offensive language to insult critics.
It seems to show what kind of regard he has for people who would dare oppose his corporatist policies.
