In July of 2010, Angelo Codevilla’s magnificent manifesto, “The Ruling Class: How They Corrupted America and What We Can Do About It” was published initially online in The American Spectator (and later in book form). It immediately went viral on the Internet and started a widespread national conversation about America’s hubristic power elite and the arrogant way they reign over the rest of us.

When Codevilla’s article appeared, I stated that it was the most important essay I had ever read. I still believe this because it is a superb synthesis of class analysis with keen insights on contemporary power elite relationships regarding today’s rulers and the ruled.

This class division of present-day America into two factions, Court and Country, has absolutely nothing to do with any Marxian view or analysis. It is a reaffirmation of the seminal insights of Bernard Bailyn’s Pulitzer Prize winning volume, The Ideological Origins of the American Revolution, and Murray N. Rothbard’s Conceived in Liberty, which goes back to the pre-revolutionary roots of America and how the Founders saw the struggle before them.

The Court Party of today is official Washington, the haughty Uni-Party Establishment who promote and enable destructive inner city violent crime and attacks on law and order, the bicoastal cultural perverts assaulting America’s children in the classroom and the satanic woke media/entertainment products these maniacs force feed upon these kids, and lastly the lying and despicable regime media in thrall to the Biomedical Security State and other coercive and intrusive adjuncts of the Deep State.

The Country Party is the tens of millions of Americans who defy these arrogant predatory professional managerial credentialed elites who have waged a deliberate, systematic and deceptive class war on and against poor and middle class Americans, their traditional cultural and religious values, their deep patriotism, and against a viable and sustainable free economy not dominated by chronic inflation, crony corporatism, and regulatory capture by special interests. The Country Party is the tens of millions who have seen the evil attempts at stealing elections and election fraud, disruptive phony impeachment scams and the Russiagate hoax, but will not be silent, cowed or dismayed by adhering to their first principles and loyalty to their innermost values.

Today the heroic battle is against identity politics and racial biological collectivism, of conformist cancel culture by the totalitarian leftwing destroyers of Western civilization and its basis in Judeo-Christian and Enlightenment principles — the declared enemies of freedom of speech, the rule of law, the integrity of biological science, the two person nuclear family of male and female, personal sovereignty and self-defense, individual human rights and civil liberties, and the capitalist free market economy.
