Palin gave a shout out to his original “ruling class” essay and also referenced his ideas in her Indianola speech (sorry, Bluegill)……Codevilla gives the Palin/Tea Party alignment an intellectual underpinning that is essential to the development of a movement to fracture the grip of any ruling elite. However there needs also to be a serious analysis of the challenges of attemting to run a 21st century industrial/technological society on small government lines. Otherwise the risk is merely replacing one elite with another…

Codevilla is right — the Republicans are walking away from us. It’s the reason why I won’t vote for somebody just because he’s a Republican anymore. If a candidate wants my vote, he needs to have demonstrated that he deserves it.

I don’t view it so much as being orphaned as suing for emancipation.

My collie says:

Hence, Meggie Mac, the attention wh*re, and her obsession with all things establishment Republican.

I’ve never been to a really posh country club, although I assume they exist. The last country club I visited, in Albuquerque, resembled a hospital or a convention center.

However, there’s a masonic temple near me which is really lovely, with a ballroom worthy of the seductive women who treat me like their valet.

Meh. This article is obviously bunk. We all know that the Republican party has been taken over by the fringe and is in need of a RINO overhaul.

Good article, though I didn’t read through the whole thing.

We don’t need another political party, though. What we need is a national divorce. Half of this country is beyond redemption and has nothing but contempt for America and Americanism. They need to be left to burn in the hell they are making – along with the Vichy Right that loves to help them along. America has no future with these slugs as they have already turned this country into the American Socialist Superstate.

No. If America and American ideals are to be saved and passed into the future there will need to be a totally new entity to do that as this nation is past the point of no-return. We need a national divorce and an establishment of the Constitutional Union of American States. It’s a pain and sad but there’s no way to restore America in this nation of the A.S.S. Too much permanent damage has been done and too many people who are fundamentally opposed to everything American are in it, not least of which the ineligible, Indonesian, Dog-Eating Imbecile with the 84 IQ and the complete lack of any skills or talents who these America-haters have re-installed even after the most pathetic tenure in all of American history and one of the most ridiculous and inept tenures in all of Western history (which Barky is not even part of).
