John Zogby and “GOP” Consultant Mark McKinnon claim that the growing demographics of young people and minorities will kill conservativism in the future. Well, here is a conservative Latino who could make the case for conservatism to young people and minorities.
Demographics are not static but I do believe that we need conservatives regardless of stripe. I don’t believe in calculating like Democrats do based on race and ethnicity but I do believe we are missing opportunities in minority communities simply because we aren’t showing up at their churches and community events. People can’t figure out they agree with you don’t talk to them. I don’t know how many times I’ve talked with a black person and we are agreement on nearly every issue except one and that is the fact they are a Democrat and vote that way blindly.
Unfortunately, I agree that our young people and minorities seems convinced that equal outcomes is a right. And never understand the fraud and disincentives that go along with it. Hence, it is going to be hard to have a conservative message when everyone is relying on Aunt Samantha to take care of them and crush their “enemies.”
I was at a dinner last night where educated people, Obama campaigners all, talk sickeningly about how much they love Obama and the New Congress. I tried to educate them in a sensible way and scored points on healthcare, taxes, civil rights (for everyone, not just the perceived losers), etc. By the end of the dinner/wine/beer, they were talking like Ron Paul.
But then they returned to their zombie state of how happy they are that O won the election and its a new future for the US. These are all wealthy people, wealthy enough that they are still wealthy after O takes most of their money from them. “Ah, we may have to give up our house on Nantucket, but we still have our houses in La Jolla and Australia.” ELITES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They make me sick!
These were our neighbors in our new neighborhood.
Funny, the 8th grade boy is going to a prep school in New Hampshire and was gushing about O and how he campaigned for him. His father says “He is so convincing. Try your Obama sale pitch on everyone.”
He did and I had a lot of fun. The kid was really rattled and the father was hurt. Sorry, but Liberal Lunacy has to be exposed at every step,
“Well, here is a conservative Latino who could make the case for conservatism to young people and minorities.”
Why is race a deciding factor? Does this mean that Caucasians vote for Caucasians,Latinos vote for Latinos, etc... If that is the case then I guess the largest voting block, Caucasians, should vote for a candidate of their race.
One should vote based on qualifications and principles rather than the color of ones skin.
I could make the case as well, being 23.
Not to sound conceited, but I’m probably what the GOP could use right now. Only problem is, they don’t care about the Conservative message.
