Certainly, it is interesting to watch both Mr. Cain and Mr. Gingrich sound the oft repeated notes that Conservatives muster when they feel themselves challenged by the ‘great unwashed’: class warfare and anti-capitalism. Mr. Gingrich, being the more intellectually resourceful and given to polemic, resorts to an ad homonym attack on the American educational system, that is a deeply held belief, even a part of Conservatism's political mythology, of the control that the liberal elite holds over educational policy. The historically distant figures of Dewey and James receive their drubbing, in the historic present, by one Presidential candidate as the other nods vaguely in approval, of a well worn ideological platitude uttered as if it had the ethical status of a great truth.
