But it is not elitist to be pickled in Jeffersonian thought! It is not elitist to give a quote from Burke or Madison or Patrick Henry. Every American should be fairly conversant in/with the Federalist Papers and States Rights and the ideology of ordered liberty. That is not elitist.
The fact is; the right wing pundits have dumbed us down.
Love your neighbor as yourself. Do not take into account a wrong suffered. Never return evil for evil. Resist not the violent man. Turn the other cheek, go the second mile, give to him that asks.
