The Future of the Obama Coalition

New York Times via Free Republic

excerpts:

• For decades, Democrats have suffered continuous and increasingly severe losses among white voters. [Comment: This does not surprise me.  As far as I can see, the left is anti white.]
• center-left coalition made up, on the one hand, of voters who have gotten ahead on the basis of educational attainment — professors, artists, designers, editors, human resources managers, lawyers, librarians, social workers, teachers and therapists — and a second, substantial constituency of lower-income voters who are disproportionately African-American and Hispanic [Comment: The presumption is that anyone else must be a stupid, ignorant "redneck"]
• In the United States, Teixeira noted, “the Republican Party has become the party of the white working class,” [Comment:  Projection.  The Democrat party has played the race card.  If whites aren't voting for Democrats, it is because they are correctly perceiving the party is hostile to whites.]
• In a 1995 memo to President Clinton, Greenberg wrote that whites without college degrees were “the principal obstacle” to Clinton’s re-election and that they needed to be brought back into the fold. [Comment:  How is this possible?  In academia, Western Civilization, which means "white man", is taught as a plague upon humanity.  You can't stab people in the back and try to pretend to be friends.]
• A top priority of the less affluent wing of today’s left alliance is the strengthening of the safety net, including health care, food stamps, infant nutrition and unemployment compensation. [ Comment:  Bread and Circuses.  The well to do hope to buy off social unrest with what appears to be bribes.  This probably won't work any better for us than it did for the Romans.]
• The better-off wing ...self-expression, the environment, demilitarization, and, importantly, freedom from repressive norms [ Comment:  Black folks are more religious than these people.  I know because I've talked with black folks about this very thing.  Buying off the black people is only a marriage of convenience.  If the liberals don't deliver, the black vote can be had.]

Final Comment:  The left is morally and ethically corrupt.  Their continued rule depends on what they can't deliver, which is economic prosperity.  The attempt to buy off unrest will only go so far.  The love for their corruption is skin deep.  If someone emerges who can: 1) expose them for the corruption and incompetence and, 2) really show a better way- that person can win big.  The left is on its last legs.  It is only a matter of time.

Update:


This quote is rather ironic, especially with respect to what is written above.

The usual liberal complaint against the conservative opposition to higher income taxes is greed and the better-offs’ self-serving reluctance to pay their “fair share.” 

So, the Republicans are blamed for protecting a group which doesn't vote them for them, and it is political.  And this gets said with a straight face.

Beam me up Scotty!
