I wasn’t thinking of ruling class. I wasn’t thinking of high school cliques. I was thinking professional jealousy., and there might have been some of that. But that’s really not what it was. Oh, my. What it was, what they were afraid of, was the inmates running the asylum, in their lingo. To the ruling class, this is an asylum, and we are the inmates. The people who run it are in Washington. They’re the wardens or what have you, and now there’s a revolution or a rebellion, and we the inmates are going to run the asylum. That’s what they looked at me as in 1995. That’s how they see Palin. That’s how they see Beck, Levin, any of us. It’s how they see the Tea Party. It is how they see conservative bloggers. Some of them. Some conservative bloggers they love because they’re actually statists themselves, but regardless. So TIME could do a new cover here now: Are the Tea Parties Good for America? I’m sure they’re thinking the same thing.
