The divisions between these two classes tend to be deep. Academicians traffic in words and abstractions, and admire those who do likewise. Jacksonians prefer men of action, whose
achievements are tangible. Academicians love nuance, Jacksonians clarity; academicians love fairness, Jacksonians justice; academicians dislike force and think it is vulgar; Jacksonians admire it, when justly applied. Each side tends to look down on the other, though academicians do it with much more intensity: Jacksonians think academicians are inconsequential, while academicians think that Jacksonians are beneath their contempt. The academicians' theme songs are "Kumbaya" and "Imagine," while Jacksonians prefer Toby Keith:

On the other hand, it appears indisputable that, both before and after the Civil Rights battles, Democrats lost when they put up an anti-Jacksonian, who seemed both weak and too wordy in foreign affairs.

Obama's problem may be less that he is running while black than that he is running to be the first Academician elected as president, a category that is zero for eight in national contests thus far. He is peering into an abyss not of bias, but a large Jackson Hole of rejection by warrior voters. And this problem is more than skin deep.
An excellent article that frames the race - and the reason Obama did miserably with "appalachia" A must read.
Wow! EXCELLENT article and the election results support the premise. I found it breathtaking how predictable the election results were -- Obama winning the inner cities and college towns and Hillary winning everything else. That's why this article makes a whole lot of sense because it explains what happened in every state with a primary. This is NOT a "redneck" or "racist" phenomenon, as the Obamaphiles like to say to dismiss it.
The most notable thing about this piece from the weekly standard is that it was written in the future. Then there was a bunch of "Academician" writing ridiculing Obama as an "Academician."

Huh?? They time-warped into the future?

You mean this passge? Destiny = democrat nominee.
Actually, she gives a very clear picture of where the dems/libs have gone wrong in the past. A mistake they continue to make.
