‘Are conservative elitists brain dead?’

October 5, 2009 By admin

Lori Roman writes:

I’ve been in meetings where conservative elitists bemoan the fact that they must tolerate the “regular folks” like Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck.
 

They look down their noses at principled, articulate job applicants because they don’t have the correct pedigree—an Ivy League education or the family or money connections to make up for the lack of one.

By behaving in this manner and, frankly, by writing editorials insulting average Americans not fond of reading Hayek on weekends, the elitists in the conservative ranks may entertain themselves splendidly at cocktail parties, but they are doing little to bring liberty to people thirsty for it.
