ET TU, BRUTUS?
For years, many of the elite conservatives were happy to harvest the votes of devout Christians and gun owners by waging a phony class war. Suddenly, they are discovering that the very anti-intellectualism they courted has begun to consume their movement. The cause of Edmund Burke, Leo Strauss, Robert Nisbet and William F. Buckley Jr. is now in the hands of Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity -- and Sarah Palin. Reason has been overwhelmed by propaganda, ideas by slogans, learned manifestoes by direct-mail hit pieces.
