Yeowch!!! My Balls!!! posted:depends on what you mean by true believer. as far as neoconservative thought goes, he's a born-and-bred true believer. kind of thing that happens when your dad's a big wheel at Voice of America and there's a part of your life story that reads "went to Nicaragua to help the Contras." as far as the stuff he says on TV, -that- has always been transparent pandering. back during the Bush years his angle was The Proud Elitist, the guy who's sick and tired of having to pretend that the rabble and their concerns are anything the true and rightful rulers of the country should give a poo poo about. the bowtie Jon Stewart so famously gave him poo poo for was part of a pretty carefully crafted persona! as the leading lights of the New Atheism movement learned around this time, there were a lot of very rich people who had spent the Clinton years fuming about being out of power, and catering to their feeling of triumphant reclamation of the reins of the world was a great way to expedite your career! Entirely possible. I think this is giving him too much credit though. His elitist and proud persona was the same tired old racist\bigoted rebellion. 'THEY want you to feel guilty for being proud of being white!' Except his, being an actual rich\elite, extended to 'They want me to feel guilty about being rich!'
