Maybe we should have the right to elect (or defeat) the faceless bureaucrats who presume the right to dominate our lives. Why not?
The problem
Dr. Angelo M. Codevilla, an international relations professor at Boston University, has challenged the "ruling class" in the U.S. — the segment of our population that presumes to set the limits of what Americans should be told, what issues are to be discussed (and which ones are to be ignored), the cultural tenor of the nation, what we can eat, what we can hear, what we can wear, what we can drive, and — what we can say.
Shortly after Dr. Codevilla's article "America's Ruling Class" appeared in The American Spectator magazine, this column was among the first to publicize it — sporadically, as it applied to specific issues we were taking up at given times over a period of weeks.
The lid is off
Whatever efforts may have been exerted to suppress this brilliant spotlight on the ruling class's effort to frustrate the will of the American people (i.e., the rest of us — or the "country class"), the dam was irrevocably broken later when Rush Limbaugh took the entire three hours of his broadcast to publicize it.
