What you say is true, but let’s not forget how absolutely worthless the GOP is in defending the interests of poor, working, and middle class whites.
When Ward Connerly got an anti-racial preferences ban on the Michigan ballot in 2006, where was the GOP? They were either running away from it, or actively opposing it. Fittingly, the GOP suffered a massive defeat that year while that initiative passed overwhelmingly.
When attempts were being made to put a preferences ban on the Arizona ballot in 2008, Obama of course opposed the measure. But McCain, surprisingly, supported it, but he never made an issue of racial preferences in his awful campaign.
What have several Republican administrations and Congresses done about the absurdity of disparate impact?
What have several Republican administrations and Congresses done about unending mass immigration? Instead of opposing it and trying to end, they have embraced it and made it worse, as with President Bush the elder signing Ted Kennedy’s ridiculous Diversity Visa program into law.
Have you ever heard any Republican talk about the insane and growing collision between racial preferences and the mass immigration of those who will be eligible for them?
Has the Republican party fought against the rise of our new official religion — the worship of Diversity? Of course not, they have embraced it and their rhetoric about the magical and supernatural wonders of diversity are indistinguishable from that of the Democrats. It’s nauseating, and depressing.
And let’s not forget our probable nominee, the dreadful Gingrich. When Newt was trying to become Speaker, he talked tough about ending racial preferences. But when he actually became Speaker, he did nothing. In fact, he decided that opposing affirmative action didn’t fit in the agenda of the modern GOP he was trying to build. In other words, he didn’t want to be called names. That one of the worthless debate moderators, or the unimaginative Fox News drones never ask him to account for this is not surprising, but why haven’t any of his primary opponents? Oh yeah, it’s because they are worthless on this issue too.
Why is this? Why does the GOP refuse to protect and champion the interests of people who are actually inclined to vote for them, even on something that has proven to be overwhelmingly popular like banning racial preferences? Some of them of course hate whites just like leftists do. For others, maybe they are stupid enough to think the GOP can actually survive a demographic situation where whites no longer have a strong majority. Maybe some are just afraid of being called names.
Whatever the case, there is no reason to think that the interests of poor, working, and middle class whites will ever be put above the demands of Diversity by either party.
Personally I feel we all need a dose of Dickensonian lives to obtain the cure to what ails us. Life is not fair. None of us are equal in ability or skill. The other person always gets the promotion you deserved. The layoff hits you harder than the next guy. You know the answers but nobody listens. Love is forever. Women cheat more than men, they just are better at it. If you want a friend get a dog.
