I think you may be on to something. You identified the very reason the elitist elephants didn’t welcome the tea party participants into the fold but kept them at arms length.
all you say is true enough but...... absent 60 senators nothing gets passed
if it does get passed, 7 more are required to overturn the veto
the raw political power required to depose the president is lacking
the result is stagnation and rot
In Russia they called them Nomenklature
In public discourse these days it tends to be popular to talk of class warfare. Politicians and pundits have found it profitable to divide the American citizens into classes and set them against one another. The rich against the poor, taxpayer against entitled, and of course black against white. While this infighting has taken its toll on the nation a new class seems to have arisen that seems to be above it all. This new class has until now, gone relatively unnoticed. This new class is the antithesis of the American dream. The dream of everyone plays by the same rules; work hard and you will get ahead. This new rising class is the American nomenklatura.
This class is so foreign to us there isn’t an English word for it. Nomenklatura, a Russian word best describes these people. Translated it is the system of patronage to positions in the bureaucracy of the government controlled by committee at various levels of the party. In practice it meant the best jobs and privileges went to those who follow the group think of the party. Being a member of this group means you don’t have to follow the rules all the little people are burdened with.
So who are the members of this new class in America? We can start by identifying the easy ones, the Democrats and their donors. How many haven’t paid their taxes, hire illegal’s, sexually harass workers, take bribes and outright steal tax money. How many can you identify that get sent to jail? Almost all of the entertainment industry, they make millions and tell us how others should pay their fair share. Where is the outrage? The unions, they use violence and racial epithets against others and get a free pass even from our protectors of liberty, the free press. Let us not forget professors at our schools and universities. If your views don’t match the group you can’t get a speaking engagement much less tenure to guarantee your job for life.
Yes it is good to be a member of the nomenklatura. While most suffer under this economy just trying to get by the nomenklatura take taxpayer funded vacations. Seniors who helped to build this country struggle to pay property tax while Hollywood nomenklatura gets tax breaks. Some artists must sell their wares to the public while the nomenklatura makes the public pay. This could explain why DC has one of the lowest unemployment rates in the country.
As the country heads towards the fiscal cliff realize tax cuts are at the bottom of every nomenklatura’s list of things to do. Without tax dollars to grease the wheels they would have to get by on their abilities and work hard for a living. They can’t have that, it would not be fair.
Those two are my choices Trump or Cruz.
I see the elitists as part of the NWO which is ever pervasive.
In 2010 we had over 80 Tea Party Republicans elected to Congress.Two years later all but 15 or 16 had been destroyed by house leadership which threatened them with every threat know to man.No good committee assignment or any committee assingement, well funded challenges in your next race, no funding on and on and on. It never ended for Boehner and friends.
Whether Boehener is compromised like Judge Roberts remains to be seen. We know Roberst is. Jury is still out on Boehner. As for McConnell who knows what his problem is! But he sure as hell had a problem.
Trump is the man! Win or lose he has changed the venue from the drivebys attacking our side to Trump overwhelming every candidate on both sides and kick the snot out of the drivebys every time they challenge him.
Thank God for the Donald.
Elitists vs. Us is not a new battle line ...... There has always been one set of rules for “them” and another set of rules for us. It’s been that way my entire adult life. It’s like justice. Justice is only a matter of money: how much can you afford? That’s why the rich get away with everything and the rest of us poor saps end up in jail. Welcome to reality my friend.
Great article, Laz. You have hit the nail on the head!
This is why I am no longer a Republican, but a Conservative. There is no room in either wing of the Uniparty for a Conservative.
The Uniparty does not recognize the Constitution of the United States of America as the rule of law. They only recognize the power that comes from the money provided by the lobbyists and the support of the liberal media.
The time has come for the citizens of this country to take their country back and expel the elitists!

THANK YOU!!!!! :)
In the meantime, as a lifelong member of the hoi polloi, I'm planning on doing horrible things to their food when they return it to the kitchen. And I don't even work in a restaurant.
Another BTTT for your great post, Laz. Thank you, sir.
New?
btt
Was there supposed to be an embedded link there?
Well there you have it. They finally admitted it.
The Elitests, both the GOP Party and the Democrat Party, will push Hillary Clinton if Trump wins the nomination.
The start of a classic...
Still valid, maybe even more so, today, than 2015!
