Another great analysis by Caroline Glick (h/t Linda in Tennessee): The American spirit has been overwhelmed by the European model of social democracy at home and appeasement and treachery abroad. But all the dependency champions who celebrated on Tuesday night cannot stop the coming storm. The greatest...

“Shock the System” week at College Insurrection

Posted by William A. Jacobson on November 10, 2012 27 Comments

I am more convinced than ever that a shock to the higher-ed system is needed. Universities have turned into political training grounds for can't-do left-wing professors and administrators who use campuses as laboratories for churning out foot soldiers for the dependency state: Professor Denies Stalin Murdered Millions Florida Professor Pens Book...

Gen. Petraeus resigns due to affair — what other post-election shoes to drop now?

Posted by William A. Jacobson on November 09, 2012 73 Comments

This is unreal. Companies hold off on disclosing layoffs. Iran shoots at U.S. drone and DOD doesn't disclose for six days. What other shoes are going to drop now that Obama has been reelected? Maybe this was one of the reasons no one can seem to get straight answers...

The United States: All Town, No Country

Posted by Joel Engel on November 09, 2012 43 Comments

Via Drudge, this is why coastal elites call it "flyover country." Jefferson hated cities. He thought they spread disease and bad ideas, and believed the perfect republic was composed of educated farmers who by night read Homer in the original Greek. In these disunited states, United Airlines'...

Prediction — OFA will become OFH

Hillary will be the Democratic nominee in 2016, if she wants it. There is no second tier of rising Democrats. The newer House members were wiped out in 2010. The Senators are decrepit, except for a certain woman who will not sell nationally no matter how...

Reports are trickling in that Allen West may be gaining some ground as the initial count of votes continues. However, it remains to be seen if the margin will narrow to the point at which West can force a recount. From The Blaze: Rep. Allen West is...

Still Perry-curious

Posted by William A. Jacobson on November 09, 2012 51 Comments

Sure, let's start the speculation about 2016. It helps take our minds off of Tuesday. And we need to plan ahead for the race against Hillary. (It will be Hillary, don't you know. Bill didn't do all that for Obama.) As longtime readers know, we were Perry-curious...

Hope already on the horizon

Posted by William A. Jacobson on November 08, 2012 45 Comments

I will have more in coming days on the flawed demographic narrative. You know, the one which liberals love to push particularly since Tuesday that because the percentage of non-white people is growing, Republicans are doomed. Because skin color is destiny to them. Keep at that math. Please. Democrats now...

Learning lessons from a failed campaign does not a circular firing squad make

Posted by William A. Jacobson on November 08, 2012 77 Comments

Some amount of firing squad is needed in light of the loss this week of the presidential campaign. Oddly enough, I'm not aiming at Mitt Romney himself. I agree with many commentators who say Romney emerged as a better candidate than expected, someone who came around to articulating...
