How long will the aristocracy last before the peasants rise?

#2 How long will the aristocracy last before the peasants rise?

We've been doing that right here at Rantburg since 9/12/2001, AlanC. The bloggers, agglomerators like Drudge Report, and professionals like The Blaze and PJ Media are the new media outlets who are replacing the traditional outlets like The Washington Post, et al.

#3 Sorry TW. I've been a 'burger for almost that long, not to mention a 'punditeer and an EU Ref dude.

We the peasants are muttering but I haven't seen much rising. The treatment of Palin et al by the aristocracy, whether Rino, Demo or bureaucrat, has not yet been effected.

I just hope I live long enough, I'm keeping my pitchfork sharp, just in case.

#4 I sometimes wonder if Palin was brought on the McShame ticket to do nothing more than to destroy her as a potential political threat.

#6 g(r)om, you may be right about Beso's estimation of their intelligence. But, I'm sure he's right about their capacity for duplicitous evil.

#9 You mean there is no limit beyond which they won't go?

By any means necessary, the end justifies the means. Never forget this. We have to stop playing by the rules they make for us. We need to be ruthless and determined.

#10 You mean there is no limit beyond which they won't go?

The problem with this bon mot when applied to these vermin is that the implication that they object to the means.

These vile things (can't think of a real animal low enough) revel in the most gruesome, ghastly and perverted means of achieving their ends.
