WE REJECT MANAGED DECLINE.

Konstantin Kisin offers readers "10 Reasons You Didn't See This Coming."  His intended audience is British and European readers, and it's something that the quivering coastal cosmopolitans playing with teddy bears at their local universities or in their padded rooms might want to review.  He saved the best for last.  "America is a country whose founding story is one of resistance to government overreach. They loathe unnecessary restrictions, regulations and control. They understand that freedom comes with the price of self-reliance and they pay it gladly."

Amen.  Self-reliance works when Somebody Else can't do it.
