Kurt Schlichter: Good-Bye to the Treacherous Sissies That Controlled Our Party Like Jeff Flake

An "elite" that is only elite at failing.

His real concern was not enacting the conservatism he endlessly talks about but conforming to the bizarre norms and taboos of the elite he aspires to, because if you do -- if you prove yourself by slavish acceptance of their twisted, reality-defying fetishes -- you will be richly rewarded. You have to demonstrate your acceptance of the ridiculous concept that no woman can ever lie about sexual assault, despite the Duke lacrosse team and UVA scams. You have to demonstrate your acceptance of the ridiculous concept that the weather in a couple centuries is going to kill us off because you're too selfish not to ride a bike to work and want to drink out of a straw, even though the high priests of the weird climate cult are so concerned that they fly everywhere in private jets.

Mostly, you have to demonstrate your acceptance of the ridiculous concept that Normal Americans are morally and intellectually unfit to participate in their own governance, despite the fact that we built this country, fed it, fuel it, and defend it. And you have to demonstrate your acceptance of the ridiculous concept that the elite is elite because of some track record of achievement, despite hiccups that we Normals pay for like Iraq, the 2008 meltdown, Obamacare, and sidewalks covered with bum droppings.

My new book Militant Normals: How Regular Americans Are Rebelling Against the Elite to Reclaim Our Democracy explains why Jeff! and his sorry ilk side against the people who send them to Washington, and it does it in a lot more detail and with a lot more snark than possible in one column. You must order it now because it comes out tomorrow. Order it to own the libs and the conservasissies.

Jeff!'s flake illustrates the disconnect between status-obsessed elites and the Normals. Jeff! wanted his pals to think he was sensitive and caring and concerned with process and blah blah blah. He wanted the elite's acceptance, and if Kavanaugh's family had to go through more hell, okay. He knows this is all a scam. He knows this is a grift. He knows it's a delay designed to let Stripper Matlock or some other bottom feeder come up with a new pack of lies about how Brett Kavanaugh ran an international sex ring during his Bud Lite blackouts back in '83.

But Jeff! mostly had to do what the elite in this country do instead of actually achieving anything -- he signaled. He signaled to his elite pals, "Hey, I'm one of you, not one of them, not one of those icky Normals."

I'm sure he means "Elite" with the quotation marks very much sneering.
