When referring to elites, I meant economic elites. 'Liberal elites' and 'media elites' and so on aren't usually the elites that populists--historically--have referred to.
You wrote, "FR advertises itself as 'grassroots.'"
So? FR advertises itself as grassroots because it isn't a neoconservative site. FR is a big tent. There are all kinds of conservatives here aside from those (such as myself) who identify themselves as mainstream conservative Republicans: a great many libertarians, several Ayn Rand aficionados, a whole truckload of staunch states' rights advocates, and even a few fringe Pat Buchanan fans who style themselves paleoconservatives. What's your point?
Noticed you've finally resorted to name-calling, although it's hard to take insults personally or seriously when they come from someone with a moniker like 'BarbaricGrandeur'. (snicker, chuckle)

Noticed you've finally resorted to name-callingYou need to read my posts more closely, I never called you a name. I said that if-thats is, 'on the condition that..'- you've never heard the neocons bitching about the liberal elite you're a liar.
You didn't claim that, and I didn't think you would.

Not the ones you acknowledge as such anyway.
