...keep up appearances. It's bad for business to admit you are a pinhead, even if the polls clearly show that the American people have not been fooled. So each year, nearly three thousand Beltway tribe members and their guests gather at the Washington Hilton, the place where Ronald Reagan got shot, to dine with the current President of the United States and pretend for a night that we actually belong to a cool crowd, a hip scene, an exclusive network of movers and shakers that everyone wants to join...
...whose sense of economic self-interest sustained Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal coalition, working-class whites were the patriotic, the churchgoers--and, yes, many of them were hunters--who began to drift from the Democratic Party in the turbulent 1960s and later became the margin of victory for Ronald Reagan.

"Clearly Obama's comments were 'unartful,' but not inaccurate...
...We’re far from the days when Ronald Reagan, in his 1964 speech for Barry Goldwater, promised America the “ultimate in individual freedom consistent with law and order.” Until it finds its way back out of this mess, the Republican elite promises us a platform of war abroad, and a massive, intrusive government at home. To paraphrase Heston, they can have this country when they can pry it from our cold, dead hands...
