| Although I'm a little confused- first they're the people who want to help everyone and save the starving Africans {though I'm not entirely sure if it was you who said this, it might have been whip. if it was, then I apologize}- but now they're racist. The same ones who leap for the defense of the Koran are now racist. |
First, understand that politicians - all politicians- dont give one whit about anything other than preserving their power. If you understand and accept the premise, then answers to all the other questions become obvious.
Where is the largest base for the democrat leadership? In using the race card and victimiaztion card. If racism was eliminated tomorrow, and no one could tell the difference between a black, hispanic or white person, how could the democrats play the race card? They could not.
Similarly, if poverty was truly eliminated through making everyone self sufficient, how would the democrats be able to rail against the greedy rich (it does not play for most non-rich peopls as evidenced by the latest elections)? They could not as everyone would then see that they can be the next rich.
So it is in the democrat leaderships interest to maintain an underclass of blacks and poor people so they always have a willing pool of voters. Now they can not come right out and say that, as even the dimmest people can understand simple langauge. SO they use other means to keep their constituency in their place and then blame the opposition for not have a heart.
If you look carefully at each presidential election in the past 25 years, you will see that is exactly what they did. And when you go back an disect the votes of the congress over the last 100 years, you see the same pattern there as well.
And why should they change? It has worked and continues to work. When you have a working solution, you do not change it. However, what Clinton did for the 90s (he did not actually, just the strong economy did) was to life many of those constituents out of the servitude that they had been accustomed to. And in so doing, guaranteed that they would then chose to vote for anyone they wanted. And they chose the party that was not promising them a hand out, but a hand up. Since that is all they needed (and all most people really want).
The democrats have failed to realize this, and that is why with the exception of the 96 presidential election, they have lost every election since 1994. And they still dont understand why. But to a non-biased student of history, the answer is obvious. Because one party has a vision of the future, and the other part keeps telling us how bad off we are, when it is evident that things are not that gloomy.
You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.
Foolies are over.
