Educated Classes in Retreat?

I may teach Greek and Shakespeare, buy my sympathies are definitely with red-staters, even if I have metrocon sensibilities. For example, I'd like to check out that performance this weekend.

But it turns out the NYT's so-called man of the right, David Brooks, is bemoaning the fact that the "educated classes' ideas are now unpopular" with the country at large. Boo-hoo.

Maybe he should have seen that coming when candidate B. Hussein spoke in Berlin, Germany, about being a citizen of the world. Shields and Brooks on the NewsHour thought he was great; meanwhile, the country didn't and his approval went down. At least those areas between San Francisco and Boston.

Noemie Emery writes further of this. It doesn't help when the weather patterns over the past decade and the palpably obvious fraud of the Big Gubmit climate scientists are giving the lie to global warming or whatever they're calling it now.

One can see this skepticism with socialism with Ford's sales vis-a-via GM and Chrysler. Chan has written about this recently. No more Chryslers for me, either. And I've had fantastic luck with my 2001 Voyager.

And indeed it appears President Obama is our first post-American president. I know that must sound like an oxymoron.

Speaking of the Bay State, I think it's fun that a Republican might win. Don't hold out hope, though, folks. Sounds like he blew it by apologizing for being a conservative and not talking about illegal aliens being granted automatic citizenship as his rival advocates. He blew it. I don't know about you, but after the compassionate conservatism of W I am more in the mood for the red meat stuff.

And if you are really ambitious this morning, John Bolton lays out the next three years of Obama's foreign policy.

I gotta say, "Don't blame me, I voted for the American." TelePrompter POTUS.
