The Democrat's War on Whites

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.

Since when are "professors, artists, designers, editors, human resources managers, lawyers, librarians, social workers, teachers and therapists" aggrieved? 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.
