Around the Horn...
Posts and comments of worth regarding yesterday's election:
Jeff Perren at Shaving Leviathan notes that Obama is a hard left liberal.
The Real World on the beauty of the American election.
Bobo at The Bobo Files weighs in on the election and he is not a happy clown.
From Copious Dissent: Ten Reasons to be happy about this election. Excellent!
And finally a pithy comment from Michael Tanner at the Cato Institute:
Yesterday's massive Democratic landslide cannot be seen as anything but a repudiation of George Bush and the current Republican congressional leadership. But to suggest that in electing Barack Obama and a Democratic congressional majority, voters were choosing big-government over small-government would imply that either the Bush administration, the current Republican congressional leadership, or, for that matter, John McCain actually supported smaller government. In reality, by almost every measure, government grew bigger, more expensive, and more intrusive under President Bush and the Republican Congress.
Exit polls show that Republican losses were heaviest among upscale suburban voters who tend to be economically conservative but socially moderate. These formerly reliable Republican voters did not suddenly decide that they wanted a bigger, more expensive, and more intrusive government. But, faced with the big-government status quo or big-government "change," they opted for change.
Republicans now have two more years in the wilderness to decide whether or not they actually stand for limited government and individual liberty. One wonders, whether they will hear the message.

On economic and social justice
The Bobo Files has a very interesting post on the current mind-set of a very large group of people in our country that want to move towards a larger redistributive system because they feel it will lead to greater economic and social justice. The post also outlines thinkers like Milton Friedman, Robert Nozick, F.A. Hayek, and others who have influenced modern economics and social politics via free-market capitalism.
