GILLIAN TURNER, FOX NEWS: Well, Greg, the president may feel snubbed, we don't know, because he this is something we know he wanted, but he is definitely not being snubbed by the rest of the world, like the media, Washington, his political opponents. I think "luxury beliefs" is actually very accurate: they're beliefs that exhibit the social position of the speaker, people at the top end of the economic pyramid who have successfully rigged the game to keep themselves there no matter how stupid their beliefs are or members of the unaccountable managerial classes in the universities, NGOs, press, and government bureaucracies that exist parasitically on the rest of the society. It's not just that such beliefs are stupid and destructive to the US, it's that everyone recognizes that, so the power to proclaim and force them on everyone displays who is really in charge.
