Let’s be clear about one thing, would you hit it?

[Organic Panic]

It’s the elitists and the professional gimmedat class that depends on them versus we taxpayers.

[Lazamataz]

I had a sudden burst of clarity that caused me to write this piece. It (perhaps) explains what is really going on in National politics, and it also (might) explain Trumps' popularity.

Spot on.

[Publius]

Ostensibly, not ostentatiously.

Excellent essay Laz.

25 years ago I heard it as the Cosmopolitan culture against the Bedrock culture.

[Axeslinger]

Downside for the elitist a is that the people eventually have enough...and if they don’t get their way at the ballot box, they get their way at the cartridge box

[Lazamataz]

This one might even interest you. It seems obvious now that I wrote it, but before I wrote it, there was something gnawing at me that was bothering me.

This is the result of that bothered-feeling and some analysis.

[Lazamataz]

Aw crap. Thanks. Before it goes out to the blogs that publish me, I’ll correct that.

[Lazamataz]

I never hit where I eat.

[headstamp 2]

Don’t worry about. It was just an aborigine.

[Lazamataz]

Well, this is not a new theme, to be sure — elitists have been around since the 1600’s or even earlier — but I have to admit that phrase, “ Cosmopolitan culture against the Bedrock culture”, doesn’t quite hit my meaning. The meaning of the phrase is more cultural, whereas I am talking about those who operate the levers of power.

Thurston Howell III would agree. So would “Lovey”.

[Lazamataz]

I usually don’t make writing erratics.

[central_va]

Big Media Elitist run the country thru their surrogate the Democrat Party.

[Tax-chick]

But when you do, they’re fun ones.

[Lazamataz]

Interesting thought. The biggest flaw on Gilligan's Island that made it deviate from reality, is that Thurston and Lovey didn't immediately seize power and start controlling every aspect of island life.

Although I do note there were no pregnancies, so perhaps they got an airdrop from Planned Parenthood.

[Lazamataz]

Big Media Elitist run the country thru their surrogate the Democrat Party.

The point I am making -- one you can agree with -- is that Republicans (as they are presently cast) are part of that same machine.
