Who Are The Intelligent?

We who are constitutional conservatives have hope according to Angelo Codevilla.  In his book The Ruling Class he states: "(O)ur Ruling Class recruits and renews itself not through meritocracy but rather by taking into itself people whose most prominent feature is their commitment to fit in...Thus does our Ruling Class stunt itself through negative selection.  Each succeeding generation is less competent than its predecessor.  But the more it has dumbed itself down, the more it has defined itself by the presumption of intellectual superiority.  In this way, too, it has discredited itself." (The Ruling Class: How They Corrupted America And What We Can Do About It, Angelo Codevilla; Beaufort Books, 2010; p 15)
How many of the Ruling Class comes to mind when you read these words?  How many times as you have listened to them being interviewed have you had these thoughts occur to you: "What world did they come from?  What universe did they come from?  What kind of Kool-aid are they drinking?  What kind of drugs are they on?"
But it would seem from these words that the Ruling Class is going to get more and more strange.  Soon they will be off in another universe and we can get back to the business of living in the real world.
This description is so fitting because the stranger they become the louder they shout: "WE are the intelligent ones."  Those comments that the American people just don't understand should sound a bell to us: here comes some more "intelligent" talk from them.  And what happens when they do that?  People just shut off their ears because they know that the Ruling Class is going try to feed us some more nonsense. Those with superiority complex always scream the loudest when they are challenged by us inferior kind.
What do we do?  We just cling to our Constitution, Declaration of Independence, and our guns, and our religion.  We keep voting out the Ruling Class and find some citizen candidates like Al West, Herman Cain, Michelle Bachman, Sarah Palin, Rand Paul, Mike Lee, Marco Rubio, Nikki Haley, etc.
