[Cincinatus' Wife]

But as I’ve been hammering on lately in pieces about Hillary Clinton, the ’90s are over. What made political sense in 1996 doesn’t make nearly as much sense today. Like the Democratic Party coalition, the country is not as white as it used to be. And the young Americans whose backing liberals will need to push the Democrats and the country to the left are the primary reason. If it was always true that the progressive movement could not afford to take the support of non-white Americans for granted, it’s exponentially more true now, when the energy and vitality of the progressive movement is so overwhelmingly the product of social movements — like the Fight for $15 or #BlackLivesMatter — driven by people of color.

The "primary reason" link in the Salon piece goes to a Pew Research Center article on Millennials - the ones (not what they want to highlight that dismal fact) who will be paying the tab.

Millennias are up for grabs and the optics look better for them on the right - if they actually THINK and understand what their future looks like with Democrats in power, they will abandon their crippling progressive ideology.

So I offer this good piece on Millennials - the voting block that the Left has been indoctrinating - grooming for to vote for LIBERAL policies, the generation that this Salon writer sees as potentially slipping away (so the race card must be played early and often).

Kevin D. Williamson (National Review)- It is WELL WORTH a full read [visually broken into 3 small sections - so be sure to keep reading; total length no longer than a 2 page printed article]. Who are they? How do they compare to Baby Boomers, Gen Xers? What is their outlook, their options?

"Generation Vexed: The downwardly mobile Millennials may be waking up at last"

"...............Conservatives will never out-snark, out-mock, or out-tweet the popular culture that embraced Barack Obama as a semi-religious icon. But Millennials are right at the beginning of what promises to be an unpleasant, extended encounter with the facts of life, and it may be that they will soon figure out that there is more to understanding those facts than snark and emojis. Mocking them would be easy, while persuading them will prove difficult and frustrating, because conservatism, unromantic disposition that it is, is in the end an exercise in calculating a balance of human imperfections. The Millennials do not understand that — not quite yet."

Young Conservative: Scott Walker Imposes Drug Testing for Government Aid, Liberals Lose Their Minds

".........Most people agree that there should be some form of an economic social safety net for those who’re in need. But there should also be standards set and enforced for those seeking benefits. Proving one isn’t on drugs is an obvious one. That so-called religious leaders are trying to thwart the implementation of Gov. Walker’s legislation is in my opinion a clear case of what low regard progressives (political or religious) have for the very people they claim to help. What these religious fakes are actually saying is that by simply being in an economic underclass- for however long- trumps one’s ability to resist the temptation of using drugs. In other words- they’re poor and can’t help it.

For progressives it’s always about class and never about the intrinsic value of the people in the varying economic classes they hold in contempt. So much for ‘justice.’"

Our gentle author might have some ideas, ideas I would no doubt disagree with, but his writing style is so convoluted and overdone that he basically makes himself unreadable.

"... liberals stop tiptoeing around race"

That will NEVER HAPPEN !

Too many of them ARE GETTING FILTHY RICH OFF OF the "Race Issue" !

These stinking LIARS always divert from the truth that Obama is EVIL and is a FASCIST.
They don't DARE debate the FACTS that their leader is a LIAR !
Booker T. Washington nailed the truth about them long ago.

Take a look at Booker T. Washington on Black Victimhood.
This is a very important fact THAT IS NOT BEING TAUGHT TODAY !

A number of black “leaders” (e.g., Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton) have made their living by promoting black victimhood and white guilt.
Jesse Jackson has been shaking down corporations with the scam for decades.
Booker T. Washington (1865–1915) warned of such people within the black community in his 1911 book My Larger Education.
He described them as “problem profiteers”:

“There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs and the hardships of the Negro race before the public.
Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs
– partly because they want sympathy
and partly because it pays.
Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances,
because they do not want to lose their jobs.”
(p. 118)

...the African-American unemployment rate being more than two times that of whites...

Hey Elias Isquith, that was while Obama has been President, moron. It's Obama's fault. With the astronomical debt incurred under this proven liar president and do not for get the stimulus, It's still Obama's fault, idjit.

That’s the problem with the left, they just aren’t fixated enough race.

[palmer]

I've listened to black leftists on the radio off and on for many years. Over those years they would talk about racism and white privilege some, but first and foremost they were leftists. While they decried mainly white capitalism, they correctly identified capitalists as their enemy and not whites. Attacking whites and playing the race card are losing strategies.

They may believe that a coalition of smelly white occupiers and militant blacks is a solid basis for a political movement. It was with millions of moronic white guilt voters, a large number of white and black freebie voters, and the ability of black urban areas to direct votes exclusively to Democrats. But the strategy that worked with Obama will probably not work with Clinton. She may win regardless since the GOP will arrange that, but that she won't have a large coattail.

Brooks is a conservative and Putnam is not explicitly political

BS on both counts, but Putnam explicitly classifies himself as "progressive" in a speech the day after this event at the T.B. Fordham foundation.

[hinckley buzzard]

The Leftwingers are caught in a trap that even this author misses: That is, after 6+ years of Obama leadership, the racial disparities they seek to exploit have gone unaddressed and unapproved. As a result, no way the 'rat leadership can raise racial grievances now without energizing a resentful backlash from the country at large. After all, the electorate credulously elected this schmuck to make racial animosity go away.

I wasn’t in the room when de Blasio’s agenda or the Roosevelt Institute’s report were created, but I feel quite confident in saying that the mistake here was...

The article is all about me, myself, and I. Someone typically develops narcissism during their teenage years as a protective response to emotional pain. The snowball can start rolling over something serious like being abandoned by one or both parents as in the case of Barky, or something as simple as not being invited to a birthday party.

All libtardism is vanity.

Here is what I could not post to you because I was on a device that didn’t have the links:

Robert Putnam is explicitly political.
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpsfmR2uHvU 22:55 “I am a progressive.”

He then goes on.
“There’s a presidential candidate who yesterday quoted me as saying that therefore, he’s quoting me as saying, all black men are sexual predators. I’m not going to say who it is…” 23:06

An internet search on “Robert Putnam all black men are sexual predators” returns a Newmax article quoting a Buzzfeed article quoting Rick Santorum as follows: “Now these fathers leave the home and not just father children with that particular women, they father a child with another women, and another and another. We have created predators…” (http://www.buzzfeed.com/andrewkaczynski/rick-santorum-men-who-father-children-with-multiple-women-ar?utm_term=4ldqpia#.mfBX3JooB) Rick Santorum never says “black.”

Liberals can not have an honest discussion about race because TRUTH is the new HATE SPEECH.

[BookmanTheJanitor]

The author.

He reminds me of the many white liberals that get upset that I married a white woman and "didn't stick to my race".

White leftists are the biggest problem in this country.
