Noonan needs to be ignored. She lost all credibility by her support of Obama.

its easy to understand why. The elites claim to know all the answers but in truth they don’t know jack. The elites ran the country into the ground

Why do I resent you Peggy? Well, it’s not so much that you are “elite” — I’m not at all convinced that you are. But the fact is that you are “elitest” — you think you know better than I do. You want to be in charge, and you expect me to sit back and do as I’m told. I’m tired of you elitest Washington insiders.

Hmmm ... “Why so many of us resent the elites.” I take it this would fall under the category of self-loathing.

Sorry, but as a grown man, I have a full time job, a mortgage, bills, a wife and 3 kids to take care of. I don’t have time to sit around resenting the elite or the wealthy.

Does Peggy think she’s an “us”? Good grief.

Don’t bother with this drivel. Read Codevilla’s article in American Spectator about the Ruling Class. It contains all you need to know.

He also wrote a book in the 90’s called the Wealth of Nations, detailing how government distorts and corrupts culture.

Reminds me a little be of when George on Seinfield said “every group has someone the rest makes fun of, like how we make fun of Elaine”

LOL! She is one of those elites. Maybe she is worried that galklows will be set up soon.

Don’t worry all the TV networks including Fox?Saudia will bail you out. See the American public is easily manipulated with TV and the idiots who watch TV are sheep, saps and morons.

No need to worry you silly liberal, Notre Dame, baby killing, pro-abortion, union catholic, manhattan living, martini drinking head over this.

Our times are better expressed as a schism between canny futurists offering a short cut to utopia and archaists pulling in the opposite direction.

An inside view of the insider elite from an insider elitist.
