How to use impolite in a sentence?

1. Paul Gruchow:

   It is one thing to decry the rat race...that is the good and honorable work of moralists. It is quite another thing to quit the rat race, to drop out, to refuse to run any further--that is the work of the individualist. It is offensive because it is impolite it makes the rebuke personal the individualist calls not his or her behavior into question, but mine.

2. The New York Times:

   You’re an inelegant, impolite, arrogant man. That’s why you’ll never get to the presidency of the republic.
