No, the better explanation is that they rarely work among, know, see or care about the type of Americans now barreling to Baghdad — who are still a different, and I think, a better sort of people.VDH continually makes that point that these media, academic, Hollywood, and political elites are far removed from the ordinary person, the backbone of this country. We may be flyover country, but the American ethos derives from ordinariness wherein lies our extraordinariness.
That is extraordinarily eloquent! Thanks for posting it!
