Ben Shapiro skewered "elites" in his recent column (here). It's funny, but it's sad because it's what we're becoming. Here are just a few.- You’re an elitist if you quote the Book of Matthew to justify socialism, cite the Book of John to defend Bill Clinton, write off the Book of Romans as “obscure,” or deride the Old Testament as a collection of antiquated messages about shellfish and animal sacrifices.
- You’re an elitist if you think Joe the Plumber’s income and license status are more important than the question he asked Barack Obama (or the answer!!).

Well, Keith, I went out and read Shapiro's article. What an awful thing to read. You could take most of what he defines as elitist and turn it right around on the religious right who often worship Reagan instead of Kennedy. He does, certainly, point out the cultural divide we have in this country and I guess he wants to make it worse by name-calling. Please don't put more of that type of thing in your blog. Some of us just can't help but go read them.
