Tony Blankley on the Ruling Class

http://www.futureofcapitalism.com/2010/08/tony-blankley-on-the-ruling-class

Tony Blankley has a new column. It's a little overwrought and Manichean for my taste but gets to the issue of the arrogance of the elites and the ruling class versus the country class that we've been writing about here a bit:

A foul and dangerous brew is heating up that is composed of: (1) The economic collapse that started in 2008; (2) the radical, "fundamentally transforming" left-wing agenda of the government; and, (3) the thwarting of the public will -- with glee -- by the entrenched, non-elected powers (in the courts, media, colleges and government bureaucracies) as they get into the face and under the skin of the cultural and political majority.

It is insufferable (and will not long be suffered) to be lectured to and imposed upon by a ruling class that loathes our nation's history, values and accomplishments; by those who are not, in fact, our genuine betters. They are neither better educated nor more profoundly morally versed.
