it is hard to see this as an elitist conspiracy. any measure in the government sentiment in this country -- he suggests that about 2/3 of the country is on the side agreement -- a limited government and free enterprise as opposed to the 30% or so who back the state policies. i do not find is convincing. in "the new york times," there is a statement that the line between conservatism runs in many human heart, not just tea party years -- tea partyers. the most reliable all i have found a measure in the garments and it was quoted repeatedly by -- a measure anti-government sentiment was quoted repeatedly by john ashcroft when he was attorney general and defending the usa. at -- u.s. a patriot act -- the u.s. patriot act. some of the government -- some of the people thought it went too far. some of them were not decided. those whom he called a small, but local, mobilized minority, is comprised of both the libertarian conservatives to pressure -- who professor codevilla praises as anti- elitist, but also the secretary -- the civilian libe

how can we favor this grace, and around the world, they see us as arrogant, elitist, pompous, and increasingly nationalistic. >> if i were writing a book on international affairs, i would agree with you. obama as the leader of the country has had some affect on that, i agree that in terms of foreign policy, we might seem like a bully. we're looking at a different aspect of americans, how they're able to manage strong, divergent faiths. we think that americans are surprisingly tolerant. most americans are very religious. most secular americans say there is a lot of good that comes out of religion for american democracy. we are not as divided as we might think we are. tavis: religion divides and your nights. how does our religion and divide us -- divide us? >> a series of shocks and aftershocks have caused americans to become more polarized. at least outside of the african- american community, the degree of power ... you are is much more correlated with your politics. there were plenty of white progressives and there were plenty of un-churched conservatives. more and more white folks are conserv

that combination of elitists and conservatives are definitely a minority. they do not constitute a majority sentiment. it is extremely hard to paint the anti-government side as a representative majority of this country. that is why the patriot at only ct only had one dissenting vote. i think that is a basic analysis. when it comes to the court, they held for the most other history been a majority body. they have not been out of step with public opinion. on the rare occasions when they try to oppose an alien vision, it is the backlash's that have led to some kind of judicial retreat. when did the court get out of step with the public? interestingly, in the gilded age, in the progressive area -- progressive era, in the new-deal age. the court first strikes down the income tax, provoking a populist movement and a constitutional amendment approving the and contacts. this and erase the progressive movement. in 898 there was no constituency for progressive legislation. in the 1912 election, the curse of bigness and opposition to the banks and determination to bre

decisions apoving a similar technologies are hardly an elitist conspiracy. the body scanners were popular with 80% of the country when you talk about populist hees, that immortal objection, unk," rates upmy jo there with "give me liberty or give me death." decisions striking down campaign finance reform was unpopular with 80% of the country, democratic and republican. when it comes to affirmative action, it is a complicated question. their responses vary depending on how the questions a asked. the country is evenly divided. there is no question that parts of the program the court has struck down have been popular with some majorities. in all these cases could via is calling up -- codevilla is calling on the courts to strike them down although they are popular. this is not a surprise. when you measure anti-government sentiment in this country, his papers suggest that two-thirds of the country is on the side of smaller government and free enterprise. i do not find these numbers convincing. the "new york times" has noted that the line it runs too many hearts.ar
