I am simply pointing out that I think the author is basically incorrect as to the composition of the Republican Party. It is primarily white and christian. Again, this is probably not the case in Massachusetts and Connecticut. Perhaps Tom Sowell or Ben Wattenberg will write a little more about which groups are voting for which party

Your post is so rich in irony that it could serve as an instant cure for anemia.

Should I have written about Bill Schneider Steve? Do you know of anybody who writes for the popular press and touches on demographics aside from Sowell and Wattenberg? It certainly would not be Buckley, Will or Rusher. Nope, the only two I know happen to be a black (Republican?) and Jewish Democrat. I am sure you are no doubt familiar with them all.

Since you familiar with Sowell's work you know he writes extensively of destructive social patterns of the racial group of which he is a member. There is not a whole lot of irony there. Certainly no more than if I referenced Stephanie Guttman and Kate O'Bierne in outlining a case opposing women in combat.
