Class: People Like UsTuesday, November 16, 2010 11:26 am. It is odd that common to both
classic toryism (i.e. King George III) and modern liberalism are special people: those who are specially-qualified
to decide important issues, issues that are too
important
to be decided by the opinions and votes of the ignorant masses. In
theory, liberalism’s special people only get that way through assiduous
hard-won study, but in fact if you affirm faith in required shibboleths
— global warming, ever-increasing government spending aka socialism
—
and have the necessary education, no matter how undistinguished, you’re
in. The tories were much like that too, and would happily welcome any
wanderer on their side, like the brilliant Disraeli.
The thing modern
liberals and classic tories alike can
not stand is that the important
ideas should be decided in any kind of free market. They’re too important
for that....
