    The American elite is almost beyond redemption. . . . Moral
    relativism has set in so deeply that the gilded classes have
    become incapable of discerning right from wrong. Everything can
    be explained away, especially by journalists. Life is one great
    moral mush--sophistry washed down with Chardonnay. The ordinary
    citizens, thank goodness, still adhere to absolutes. . . . It is
    they who have saved the republic from creeping degradation while
    their "betters" were derelict.
