Democrats began telling themselves demography is destiny back in 1968 after Richard Nixon's election. They have been saying it ever since. That day may eventually arrive, but today is not that day. They may also believe they are a permanent party, but history is filled with Ozymandias like permanence.
Last Tuesday's voter turnout should not give the Democrats the comfort they have taken from it. As should now be obvious, the Democrats have no coalition of their own. It is controlled by the very man who, the day after Curb-Stomp 2014, went on national television to stomp his feet in retaliation, rhetorically show voters his middle finger and behave generally like a petulant man-child. Democrats have a Barack Obama problem.
Republicans, now making kissy-face with Democrats and pledging "to work together," should tread carefully. Most anyone who worked too closely with Barack Obama in the past few years has suffered the fate of the dodo bird -- hunted mercilessly to extinction. At least 25 Senate Democrats who voted for the president's health care plan now have the title "former" preceding their title "Senator."
From Massachusetts to Maryland to Illinois and more, pundits who two years ago cheerfully described the Republican Party as a "regional party" mostly in the South, had to bitterly and through gritted teeth admit a crimson wave swept the country. It started, interestingly enough, in Guam. Fifteen or so hours before the polls began closing domestically, that American territory saw Republicans capture it. The tsunami only grew as it began making landfall in Maine. Most commentators expected Republican Gov. LePage to lose. He did not.
In Florida, where virtually every poll showed Charlie Crist would take back the Governor's Mansion, Gov. Rick Scott held on forcing Crist and his oscillating fan to find a new wind direction. The savage destruction of the Democrats leave that party in the fetal position mumbling their safe words, "demography" and "turnout." One word that is no longer safe is "Obama."
The day after the election, President Obama's press conference descended into farce. He declared he will do what he wants, veto what he does not want and will work with the Republicans only to the extent they do what he wants. A man who has been given everything in life on a silver platter cannot be expected to act graciously when the platter is finally taken away. But President Obama's defiant and petulant tone last Wednesday suggests he is a president in search of new voters who will appreciate it.
Americans should, therefore, not be surprised if by executive fiat the president ushers in a new class of American -- the illegal alien. Christian sinners may be washed in the blood of the lamb, but President Obama intends his Cult of Personality to be washed in the red wake of a Republican take over. An action he could not take before the election because of its deep unpopularity will be taken after the election because he needs new disciples.
What can the Democrats do? They have been renting Obama's coalition. Should they distance themselves from President Obama, they will anger President Obama's base. Should they embrace President Obama, they will anger everyone else. Hillary Clinton will have a hard time running a big government campaign when Americans no longer trust big government. But should she try to claim government was not the failure, just Obama, she will have to fight him for votes. Democrats comforting themselves on low turnout in 2014 ignore that they will have to have a civil war to capture President Obama's base from him in 2016.
President Obama will not go quietly. The Democrats will have to deal with this, their own problem of their own creation. Jesus Christ so loved the world, he suffered so that those who believe in Him might live. In Barack Obama's world, Obama so loves himself, so we must all now suffer that he might live on politically relevant. God help us all.
NO COMPROMISE REPUBLICANS. WE DID NOT ELECT YOU TO COMPROMISE WITH THE DEMOCRATS.
I just couldn't get past "Ozymandias" without a trip to Wikipedia. Here is what I learned:
Wikipedia, referencing a poem of the same name by Shelly pronounces: "The central theme of "Ozymandias" is contrasting the inevitable decline of all leaders and of the empires they build with their pretensions to greatness."
I have to admit that does characterize the Obama-Reid-Pelosi-Jarrett regime quite nicely.
Per Jonah Goldberg, Obama is the head of the Obama Party. As shown in the 2014 elections, his ego is more important than the Democrat party.
He put himself on the ballot because he cannot stand to be sidelined even if it hurts Democrats.
It is up to the Democrats, for the sake of their own survival, to reel him in.
Obama will go full Mussolini with executive orders and stir up such hell that the American people might deliver another GOP wave in 2016. Democrats might be looking at the extinction of their party and will continue to run from Obama and work more with the GOP in Congress. I wouldn’t bet Reid or Pelosi will hold on as minority leaders
It is possible that by 2016 Obama will be the most hated man in America. After he leaves office, he, Michelle and the kids will have to go in the witness protection program.
I notice that the Liberals have stopped talking about Michelle running for Senate in California...
In nominate Obama for the GOP Hall of Fame. He has done more to help the Republican Party than anyone since Reagan.
The leftwing DemoKKKrat party has totally morphed into the leftwing communist CPUSA party by adopting > 90% of the Communist goals as entered in the 1963 Congressional Record.
Ha ...then respond by going "Full Eisenhower" on him
Operation Wetback
In 1949 the Border Patrol seized nearly 280,000 illegal immigrants. By 1953, the numbers had grown to more than 865,000, and the U.S. government felt pressured to do something about the onslaught of immigration.
What resulted was Operation Wetback, devised in 1954 under the supervision of new commissioner of the Immigration and Nationalization Service, Gen. Joseph Swing.
Swing oversaw the Border patrol, and organized state and local officials along with the police. The object of his intense border enforcement were "illegal aliens," but common practice of Operation Wetback focused on Mexicans in general.
The police swarmed through Mexican American barrios throughout the southeastern states. Some Mexicans, fearful of the potential violence of this militarization, fled back south across the border.
In 1954, the agents discovered over 1 million illegal immigrants.
Modern version: "My name is Obama, King of Kings ..."
Maybe that should be Ozybama.
We'll have to add that one: Ozybama.
Absolutely no compromise with the rats. It’s high time for them to compromise
It must be possible to find a statistical analysis of congressional votes that show:
1. All the rats always vote as a monolithic block.
2. Occasionally, some RINOs compromise and vote with them.
3. No rats ever break off from their party’s block and compromise to vote with Republicans
4. Therefore, every vote consists of ALL the RATS, plus RINO compromisers.
5. It never goes the other way. Rats never compromise or think independently.
Has anyone seen this analysis?
