You think of Bill O'Reilly describing himself as a "working-class guy" — this from an accountant's son who grew up in Levittown, N.Y., the El Dorado of the postwar middle class.

One reply is simple and you can cite me. My dad was one of those returning "Greatest Generation" guys who got married immediately after coming home. He went to college for 3 years on the GI Bill (didn't finish because I showed up, he-he-he). Got a job as a Technical Writer of machine manuals for a machine company and bought a Levit-Style home for us.

This was working middle class for our parents and us as we grew up. This for a large segment of america shaped us and grounded us. Libs don't get it, on anything period.

Levittown was hardly the El Dorado of the working middle class. It was, by all accounts, a modestly priced, clean, safe place to raise ones children. I knew a woman who spent her childhood there. She said that it was great, but nothing fancy. Limousine liberals looked down on the residents and derided the architecture as being nothing more than "little boxes" built by capitalist developer swine. Me thinks that the author is trying to turn Bill Reilly's upbringing into something more than it was. Liberal obfustication. "See, they do it, too!"
