American democracy revolves around two central visions: equality
and unity. When Americans have pursued these ideals in moderation
and balance, they have flourished. But because equality and unity
exist as ideals, they can be striven for but never achieved
completely. Further, they can be abused by zealous followers. In
the years after World Ward II, the governing elite of the time-an
elite of white, Anglo-Saxon Protestant and traditionalist men-let
the unity ideal corrode into McCarthyism. In the 1950s, a reformist
elite sprang up to check the abuses of the anti-subversives, and
with the election of Bill Clinton in 1992 this elite came into
control of the Executive Branch for the first time. The Liberal
elite is multicultural and has egalitarianism as its defining
vision. The various Clinton administration misdeeds, and the
acquiescence of Liberals to them, demonstrated that, no less than
the Traditionalists before them, Liberals could also befoul federal
power.
