McGurn on the Arrogance of the Elites

http://www.futureofcapitalism.com/2010/08/mcgurn-on-the-arrogance-of-the-elites

William McGurn has a Wall Street Journal column tying together the California gay marriage ruling, the Ground Zero mosque, the Arizona immigration law, and ObamaCare all as examples of elite "moralizing about the ugly motives of the American people," the belief, shared by much of the press, that "You can't trust ordinary Americans."

His point is less to attack gay marriage, ObamaCare, and the Ground Zero mosque or to defend the Arizona immigration law than to argue against the assumption that opponents of gay marriage, ObamaCare, and the Ground Zero mosque or defenders of the Arizona immigration law are all a bunch of bigots.
