Attention white Anglo-Saxon Protestants: Your days of running things are over. You have jumped the shark.
But there's no need to feel bad for WASPs.
They've had an amazing run. Every single president in our nation's history, except for John F. Kennedy -- a Catholic -- and Barack Obama, has been a white Protestant. Except for a handful of exceptions, for over 200 years the presidential nominees of both major political parties have been WASPs. WASPs had almost as many victories in a row as The Harlem Globetrotters.
But it's over. Look at this year's presidential tickets: A Mormon, an African-American, and two Catholics. Even some of the keynote speakers at the Democratic and Republican conventions were not WASPs. The GOP featured Italian-Irish Catholic Chris Christie and the Democrats tapped Latino-American, Julian Castro. Dean Obeidallah Dean Obeidallah
Times are so bleak for WASPs that there's not a single one on the Supreme Court. Likewise, in Congress, the percentage of Protestants fell from 74 percent in 1961 to a slim majority of 55 percent today. Neither the current Speaker of the House (John Boehner: Catholic) nor the Senate majority leader (Harry Reid: Mormon) is WASP.
I'm sincerely not gloating. And my jibes are in jest. But what I'm happy about is that our two major political parties are increasingly reflecting the new face of America. The demographics of our nation are changing and, by 2042, minorities are expected to become the majority in the U.S.
Objectively, the delegates at this year's Democratic convention were far more diverse. The Republican convention looked more like the early bird dinner crowd at The Cracker Barrel.

White, British-descended protestants are the ones who founded and built this country. Not alone, but they were, and still are to a large extent, the defining force. WASPs are the true Native Americans as there would be no America as we know it without them.

WASP males have less and less influence, and everyone on both sides agree the country is going dowen the toilet. Hmmm.
Oh, Lord, let it be so. Because it seems to me we've been saying, "Oh, you want our country? Well, all right then. Seems we have no choice in the matter. We'll just go away and die now. After all, we wouldn't want to be called names."
Barack Obama is about as much a Protestant as is Ayman al-Zawahiri (head of al-Qaeda).
yes, a good point...
“It is almost impossible to say at this juncture if a man is an Angle, a Saxon, or a Jute. Even if his ancestors came from England, he might be a Celtic Welshman, Scottish, Pictish, Cornish, or Manx. Or he could be a Dane, a Norman, or a Huguenot immigrant.”
Or as my Yorkshire-derived easy-tanning father was described by pals - “a shipwrecked Spaniard”.
Coming from a New England WASP background, I have to say that, unfortunately, most of the WASPs there at least have given up on the “P” part of their acronym, which is to say their Protestant Christian heritage, in favor of the depressingly dominant culture of liberalism. Even if they go to a mainstream Protestant church, those churches have to a large extent since the 60s thrown out traditional Christianity in favor of left wing “social justice” and liberal Democratic talking points. It is truly the sad decline of what was once a great culture that gave so much to this nation at its founding and thereafter.
I must be a racist.The dem convention looked like all you
can eat shrimp nite at red lobster!
Liberals can't seem to make up their minds if they hate wealthy plutocrats or inbred backwoodsmen.
The demographics of our nation are changing and, by 2042, minorities are expected to become the majority in the U.S.
If the demographics are changing then it's not "our nation", it's somebody else's nation...the nation of the invader. And if "minorities" are the majority, then how can they be a minority?
For the hate soaked Left, there are only two peoples: whites (Evil, bigoted, "overprivileged") and non-whites (Saintly even if mass murderers, downtrodden even if by their own culture and depravity, never responsible for their own failures). Thus the Left understands: when the white majority is outnumbered by a non-white majority - of various races, but most importantly, not white - then America - the racist, Protestant institution - is dead, and its influence and success will be gone.
But that's the goal of "demographic change": the destruction of America.
This guy knows it, and wants to celebrate. But he wants to soften the blow, so that the sleeping giant doesn't wake, so he tries to put a happy face on it: see little WASPs, life will be OK when you are ruled by your enemies....like a guy whose name is Hussein. You'll come to enjoy your servitude, and by the way, serves you right for being mean to all those Africans and Injuns. So just get used to it, you can do nothing.
We'll see how long such a vicious reality will stand.
Twelve?
I think the goal here is for us to all divide up and brawl for a banana or something. Phooey.
The prominent Carroll family of Maryland were Catholic and very much involved in the Revolutiony War. Charles Carroll of Carrollton in Maryland was a signer of the Declaration of Independence. He was one of the wealthiest signers and gave personally to the war effort. His cousin Daniel was a member of the Continental Congress (1781-83), a signer of the Articles of Confederation and of the Constitution. Daniel’s brother, John, became the first Catholic Bishop in the U.S., and later Archbishop of Baltimore.

Here, chew on this one, wiseguy.
Since Hurricane Katrina, thanks to the wonderful Louisiana politics, I’ve been registered as a Libertarian.
I am not a ‘WASP’. I’m half-Mojave, and I was NOT born in the South.
I think it is YOU, dear author, who has something to fear, since there are many more like me, than there are of you!
Only if you count George Zimmerman as a minority.
We need a good natural global disaster.
Most non white people may have an unconscious inferiority-superiority dichotomy complex towards caucasians. A built in defensive mechanism.
