>>The professoriate has been skewed 90/10 in favor of the Dems for years. If they are so politically “aware”, how can they be surprised when there is political blowback from the other side?<<

This is what I like about Walker. He goes after the Left for their previous activities. Too many conservatives, while not working with the Left, will leave them alone in their little bureaucracies where they wait until they regain power and then emerge to continue dragging us all leftward via laws and regulations.

Walker quietly ferrets them out, removing their legal protections and their taxpayer funding so that they’re no longer there when a Democrat regains the executive branch. Meanwhile, the world doesn’t end, and people begin to realize we never needed all those protections and/or positions in the first place and, because budgets were cut (or not increased), they find it harder to re-establish the left-leaning bureaucracies that Walker decimated.

He’s done this so far with (at least): public-sector unions; DNR “science” positions; Planned Parenthood clinics; and now, colleges. Believe me, if your organization has been leaning too far to the left in Wisconsin and you depend upon taxpayer funding, your budget is at risk.

DC obviously could use such an approach. It’s a target-rich environment, beyond belief, and it would be fascinating to watch the bombing run after-action reports if Walker and a GOP Congress had the opportunity to lay waste to the Left. There is no doubt in my mind that this would occur, none, which is why I find him so interesting.
