Sorry, you're not in the clique running the USA

Remember high school cliques?

Of course you do! Sporties/jocks, "cool kids", cheerleaders, brainiacs, nerds, rebels... (etc) ... All schools had/have their little groups of "popular" kids and many band together to form tight little cliques.

Others strive to join.. but never make it.

Cliques happen in adult groups. I've seen it happen in large office environments and guess what!

The current USA Federal government, both Democrats and Republicans, are the clique running America!

It's called the "political class" and you are not invited to join. Nope.

This political class has been in place for decades: last POTUS NOT in the club was Reagan.

Harry Truman wasn't in the clique either and remarked "I remember when I first came to Washington. For the first six months you wonder how the hell you ever got here. For the next six months you wonder how the hell the rest of them ever got here."

Rus Limbaugh discusses recent article at American Spectator called "America's Ruling Class -- And the Perils of Revolution" and describes who is in the political class clique:

"... the ruling class is Democrats and liberals in Washington and everywhere -- New York, Washington. Washington is the power capital of the world and the financial capital of the world as well. The ruling class also does not work. The ruling class is involved in nonprofits. The ruling class seeks their wealth from government, and more and more and more people do. There's a story today in the stack. While the rest of the country in the Summer of Recovery is hurting, Washington is expanding. Washington's doing great. The people who live and work in the ruling class in Washington are prospering because government is prospering. Government is prospering because government is raiding the private sector. Government's raiding the country class (the rest of us), if you will. The way this (American Spectator) piece starts out: "As over-leveraged investment houses began to fail in September 2008, the leaders of the Republican and Democratic parties, of major corporations, and opinion leaders stretching from the National Review magazine (and the Wall Street Journal) on the right to the Nation magazine on the left, agreed that spending some $700 billion to buy the investors' 'toxic assets' was the only alternative to the U.S. economy's 'systemic collapse.'"

They all agreed. You and I did not. You and I fought this bailout, remember? They told us, "We have 24 hours! If we don't do this, the country collapses, the economy collapses." It finally took two weeks of persuasion by the ruling class to convince enough people because the Republicans, conservatives in the country, were not buying into it. They didn't believe any of it. The majority of the American people did not want the bailout yet it happened anyway, and look what it got us."

Go read Rush.
Go read the American Spectator.

The clique must be dismantled.
