Who Represents Whom?

I read the mainstream press and the many "intellectuals" and thought leaders who are routinely trotted out to explain how America feels about politics and race relations and crime and the gender insanity, and I am struck by how few of these people actually represent my thoughts..my political philosophy...my culture. Obviously the great political divide in post-empire America is huge, but I wonder about the majority of Democrat voters who reflexively support anyone with a "D" after his name, and whether they also support what is becoming mainstream thought among the cognoscenti and those "intellectuals" who claim to represent them.

It is becoming increasingly obvious that these elites represent no one but themselves and their insular world of the academic--think tank--media merry-go-round. And insular it is...how many true conservatives are in the national rotation? How many commentators can articulate a coherent conservative political philosophy? How many can explain the philosophy underpinning our Constitution? How many support the idea of limited government and the primacy of the individual?

What they can expound upon is the importance of government spending and government control, the curious anachronism of the Constitution and how it should be used as a guide rather than as a firm and final defense of our natural God-given rights.

But there are a few men...great men...who mount a robust defense of America, American Exceptionalism, and most of all the revolutionary concept that the individual is the most important part of any body politic, and by extension any successful country. And Thomas Sowell may be a the top of that small list of defenders of freedom and individualism.

From a recent "Imprimis" article about Sowell, and his continuing importance:

Sowell would often be asked how it felt to go against the grain of so many other blacks. He would inevitably correct the premise of the question. “You don’t mean I go against the grain of most blacks,” he would respond. “You mean I go against the grain of most black intellectuals, most black elites. But black intellectuals don’t represent most blacks any more than white intellectuals represent most whites.”
This continues to be the case today. Most blacks, for example, support voter ID laws and school choice, while most black elites—academics, the NAACP, Black Lives Matter activists, etc.—oppose those things. Conversely, most blacks oppose racial preferences in college admissions and, as noted, oppose defunding the police, while black elites are in favor of those things. Sowell pointed out these disparities decades ago, and they’ve only grown since then. His writings on intellectual history have stressed, time and again, that intellectuals are a special interest group. They have their own self-serving agenda and their own priorities and ought to be understood as such.

Imagine that! Black America is at odds with the small group of elitists who claim to speak for 12% of America. Does that sound familiar? Do the typical talking heads on the Sunday political shows speak for you? Those vaunted "intellectuals" who pontificate about so much that simply isn't so?

The question that needs to be answered -- the question that America needs to answer for itself -- is whether the traditional values of America and Americans are still extant. Does family and church and freedom and self-determination and all of the things that make up American Exceptionalism still matter?

If we listen to those elites, the people who claim to speak for us, those things are ancient history. But America has yet to chime in on the question, and the next few years will be their best opportunity to speak.

Is "black America" at odds with all these black celebrities?

My comments previously about Rickenbacher were not to imply my perspective. If i could shoot down an enemy aircraft on a patrol and get away to do it again, I think that is a good tactic. Where I think Les was pissed is that when the dog fight started, ol Eddie was no where to be found. It was also more of an issue as 1918 drug on and the US finally started getting superior aircraft and more pilots. We could stand and fight.

J6 *was* a march and a protest. It was obviously quite effective in getting feralgov to change its behavior. Very few options remain and most of those don't happen unless conditions become far worse than what we're dealing with now.

When Joe croaks the person who will be crying the most is Hunter. His value to other people goes to zero. I expect Joe has paid-off top Democrats and top career DoJ personnel to work to protect Hunter from real investigations and subsequent prosecution. What if those who have been paid-off by Joe decide to ask Hunter to pay some more?

But do either he or Cornyn think there is a single voter who actually cares about what happens with the mannish freak over in a Russian Jail? Stay go, whatever, I know I sure don't give a damn what happens.

They are teachers, academics; several are state and/or federal civil servants; one or two are rising in local unions, and a few are in medical professions.

No beer in the house, Sunday morning in PA, so I took a short drive to NY. I also stuck a gun in my hip pocket when leaving, and realized it crossing the state line. Promotes safe driving. That case of beer could have escalated to a felony jackpot in NY.

341 Imagine that! Black America is at odds with the small group of elitists who claim to speak for 12% of America. Does that sound familiar?
--------------------------------------

When I first heard someone say "the black community," I immediately wondered, "Is there a consensus among all blacks that I missed?" It's an inherently racist statement, because blacks are not monolithic anymore than whites are, or homosexuals, etc, etc.

Since then, I instantly dismiss as unreliable anyone who uses those words in an interview. If people apply this to everyone they watch on TV, I think they'd begin to realize how frequently it happens, especially with those they assume are #conservative.

That is to say - if a #conservative asks his interview subject to opine as if they speak for an entire "community", that person isn't very conservative. Or are they? What is conservatism, CBD? What has it become? It's not Constitutional Republicanism, because it openly rejects most of the Founder's vision.

Government schooling. Government jobs (military, police, bureaucrat.) Government retirement. Government "charity". These are concepts most #conservatives support to varying degrees.

342 "Does family and church and freedom and self-determination and all of the things that make up American Exceptionalism still matter?"

Nope. And if you need further proof, just look at what happened the last two+ years.

If our churches are closed and our pot shops are open, it's pretty safe to say we're done.

343 Griner is about as American as it gets right now.

Protected special interest group that has only succeeded because of skin color and cross dressing, and a person who has coasted through life on those low expectations and making other people bow down to perversion OR ELSE. Never any accountability, never any responsibility, never any respect for anything outside of a 100 square foot radius.

So it heads to another country where they don't care about enabling drug users or mental illness, and suddenly there's a real lesson to learn that should have been learned in 8th grade.

Yep. It doesn't get much more modern America than this, sadly.

So we should help drug runners crossing the Mexican border too, right?

Right. And this not an insult, though most would take it as such, but this philosophy lacks internal logical consistency. If government CAN solve some social and economic problems, to some degree, then it must be able to solve them all, if we just figure out the right amount in the right places, administered by the right people. We will always argue about a variation of a degree of application.

No consideration for our Founders? Were they just too ignorant of our modern sensibilities to add in those things that came much later that you currently support (to some degree)? Is it possible your view is incorrect? If not, then you and I can't exist in the same political framework, because I agree with the Founders. These things are problems at a fundamental level.

346 There is a disconnect between inner city blacks and the rest.

That explains Chicago etc. It's cultural and it's bad toxic stuff.

347 I like having local police. Educational opportunities provided by the county and state don't bother me either. I even like the country having an army and navy. I believe in representative government at the closest possible level to the citizen which I guess makes me a communitarian. I don't like big government so much because it may do things I don't like, even with majority support, but because of it's reach. Too big, and there is nowhere I can go to find a community to my liking. Am I inconsistent? Yeah, probably, but I like what I like.

349 I get paid more than $85 every hour for working on the web. I found out about this activity 3 months prior and subsequent to joining this I have earned effectively $15k from this without having internet working abilities.
