For decades, Democrats have suffered continuous and increasingly severe losses among white voters. But preparations by Democratic operatives for the 2012 election make it clear for the first time that the party will explicitly abandon the white working class.

All pretense of trying to win a majority of the white working class has been effectively jettisoned in favor of cementing a 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.

The Democrat party has effectively positioned itself as the "party of the aggrieved", and is intent to use the mechanisms of government to bring about whatever social change it sees fit. The constitution is an impediment to this agenda, thus we first get the "nuclear option" employed by Harry Reid in the Senate, followed by a president with a "pen and a phone" who will do whatever he can to spirit the agenda forward.

Surprised that Hamas firing rockets into Israel is not blamed on Obama. :rolleyes:

Sure it's blamed on Obama by him showing weakness to the world. All his movements of "Red Lines" is a sign of weakness that has emboldened enemies of democracy.

He's been a disappointment to me insofar as his poor choices in advisors and other delegated posts. The POTUS' major power is the power to delegate and squandering on loyalists is a sadly common costly mistake made by Reagan and Nixon as well.

Hi Steve
After a weak Carter administration Iran sure let the hostages go as soon as Reagan took office.:rolleyes:

It seem to me the whole idea of introducing the notion of a "War on Whites" is deliberately designed to aggrieve the white working class in favor of the GOP. Both parties play by the identical rulebook in that they try to inculcate the idea that the other party is out to get them. Hell, the GOP has even tried to sell aggrievement to the mega-rich. Poor dears.

Actually, if we're going to go there, the GOP is the "Party of the Aggrieved". I've never met so many whiney, victimized white folks in my life until the last five years. I can't believe anybody would even think otherwise. You'd have to be stone deaf and totally brain dead to not notice all of the panicky, bitchy, crybaby bullshit coming from our Caucasian bruthas and sistas.

For real. Am I alone in this observation? Wassup?

Thanks! Your post motivated me to read this insightful and enjoyable op-ed.

I suspect this would be the paragraph that really set your teeth on edge....
