Tony Blankley Takes The Bark Off The Socialist Overclass

Pocono Joe sent this along, calling it one of the best he'd read in ages.

I agree. For pure cathartic rhetoric, this is rabble rousing in all the right ways. As a member of the targeted rabble, I am indeed roused.

It's a read-the-whole-thing thing but here's some (but not all) of the fire.

[I]f the upcoming election results fail for any reason (including GOP campaign incompetence) to empower the public's overwhelming desire to stop and reverse the "fundamental transformation" of the United States -- I suspect the country will be rocked to its core within the following months and few years.

A foul and dangerous brew is heating up that is composed of: (1) The economic collapse that started in 2008; (2) the radical, "fundamentally transforming" left-wing agenda of the government; and, (3) the thwarting of the public will -- with glee -- by the entrenched, non-elected powers (in the courts, media, colleges and government bureaucracies) as they get into the face and under the skin of the cultural and political majority.

It is insufferable (and will not long be suffered) to be lectured to and imposed upon by a ruling class that loathes our nation's history, values and accomplishments; by those who are not, in fact, our genuine betters. They are neither better educated nor more profoundly morally versed.

In fact, they are our intellectual and moral inferiors -- not superiors. Constantly grinning Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan didn't think the Declaration of Independence's proclamation that human beings "are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights" should in any way affect her understanding of our constitutional rights -- presumably, if any.

...

In 1856, Frenchman Alexis de Tocqueville, in analyzing the causes of his country's revolution, observed, "Evils which are patiently endured when they seem inevitable become intolerable when once the idea of escape from them is suggested."

I guess that last bit doesn't follow the excerpted parts above, but I wanted to keep it, as it gets at one of my pet obsessions, introduced to me by Instapundit: preference cascades.
