David Frum reviews...

...The Ruling Class, by Angelo Codevilla on his blog today. It has an introduction by Rush Limbaugh and "takes us as deep as we are ever likely to get into the minds of Tea Party Americans."

My favorite part of the review (my emphasis):

If one idea unites “The Ruling Class” it is Codevilla’s conviction that white Christians are targets of oppression and discrimination fully equal to that which ever oppressed black Americans. Thus Codevilla asserts that today’s ruling class “can no more believe that a Christian might be their intellectual and moral equal than white southerners of the Jim Crow era could think the same of Negroes.”

And just whom do you suppose comprises "today's ruling class?" Isn't it made up of white Christians?
