Charles Murray’s reverse ‘Beverly Hillbillies’ solution to the cultural divide

February 7, 2012 By Kathy Shaidle

“Too Fat To Fit Through the Eye of a Needle” — My latest at Taki’s:

Murray’s findings overturn plenty of received wisdom, left and right. His data indicate that the white working class is less religious than it used to be—startlingly, less religious than today’s elites.

(So much for those folks who are desperately “clinging to their guns and religion” in Obama’s fever dreams.)

Add that to the fact that upper-class rates of crime, divorce, and unwed motherhood are comparatively low. Those much-derided elites have actually replaced the poor as the salt of the Earth.
