Today's elite loathes the nation it rules.
The New Class has deep differences of opinion with the common people and therefore cannot get elected without a certain amount of deceit....
Thus New Class candidates for power must make a show of piety. At critical points in his various personal dramas, President Clinton has taken care to be seen coming out of church clutching a bible...
The lesson of the Clinton-Gore candidacies may ultimately be the one taught by another national leader in another time: If you're going to lie, lie big....
Hence the endless sappy litany of New Class politicians and media types: We CARE, we're for the people, for the kiddies and the old folk, for the environment—the birds and little fishes. And you? Why, you just want to strip the country bare and trample on the faces of the poor, to enrich yourselves and your friends and gratify your base appetities for worldly goods....
They are ... Wait a minute. What's that? I'm out of space? But I've only just been clearing my throat! They are bullies! They are cowards! They are snobs! They are narcissists! They are shallow! They are obscurantist! They are racist! They are sentimental! They are fiscally irresponsible! They hate the nation-state! They hate religion! They hate democracy! They hate science!
...our nation and our liberties are under assault by an arrogant, self-satisfied elite of over-educated libertines. Al Gore, though not exactly of them, carries their standard into battle, and will finalize their capture of our institutions.
It is not just for particular matters of policy that we should oppose the Gore candidacy, nor for any personal failings we may have detected in the man, but for the final, decisive triumph of the New Class that will follow a Gore victory. Class-warfare politics? Oh yes, please!
This is exactly what it is. We are being ruled by a bunch of low rent liars.
