While I do not often agree with Johnah Goldberg, I think he has a real point.
I did a search for this title and found zero, so
BACK THE HELL OFF YOU "ALREADY POSTED HERE" FASCIST WANKERS!

I read this article the other day. It is good. I like Jonah. Sure, I don't agree with everything, but at least he doesn't take himself as seriously as some of the other "talking heads".

I don't mind the post (or repost if it is?), but formatted would be nice (not bitchin', just suggesting).

I agree with him 99% of the time. He is a great chip off his ole mamma! Excellent article!

And who do you trust to tell you which things, cultures and people are better than others?

Looks like Jonah is now swiping ideas from William Henry's book In Defence of Elitism

[Billthedrill]

The problem with the intellectually "elite" these days is (1) they aren't any such thing, and (2) if you have to declare yourself elite, you ain't. Personally I prefer the term "pretentious," but it's hard for us intellectual elites to spel.

Amen! I have always been an anti-populist myself.

The Big Lie of elitism is on display every day at every large airport in the world. How strange that no successful U.S. airline buys their aircraft from Uganda, or ensures that 30% of its pilots are black or Hispanic "to mirror society." How mystifying that passengers don't demand that the mentally impaired and the psychotic be hired as airplane mechanics, "to be fair to all points of view." Anti-elitism/pro-lunacy thrives only where people know it will not endanger them directly -- tax-funded (i.e. money stolen by Liberals) university departments of sociology and feminism; the NEA; The National Organization for Women; the United Nations; the Democratic National Committee, etc.

It seems that admitting that someone is better than you at something is no longer considered reasonable. I just don't get it.
