Liquidating the Democratic Party Plantation
As regular readers of this space know, I’m a big believer in Madison’s Factions, the belief that people are governed by so many loyalties that no one loyalty would ever deliver a permanent majority in the United States.
I do not know the exact numbers and I’m not going to research them, but I think we can all agree that blacks, Jews, homosexuals and union members all monolithically vote for Democrats. I’ve never understood this, nor accepted this, as a Madison’s Faction guy (and as a Big Tent Republican). Even if you were a gay, black, Jewish, pipe-fitter, I’d still think that you could vote for a Republican because you valued national security, you wanted to educate your urban-schooled children, and you thought the six inches of birth canal (and the carrier’s fickle mood) was not what determined human life.
Today, my “news”paper, the Boston Globe, gave me hope, unwittingly, that I continue to be ZACKlyRight.
Headline #1 was, “Times Co. takes Globe off market”. For those not within the gravitational pull of the epicenter of American liberalism, the New York Times Company long ago announced that it was considering shuttering the liberally extreme Boston Globe unless it could gain significant concessions from the Globe’s union members or find a suitable buyer (think: drunk sailor). Not too long ago, the Times Co. emasculated the Globe’s unions and got $20 million in annual concessions. The New York Times and the Boston Globe busted a handful of unions so the liberal elites can still pontificate at election time for unions. Maybe a(n) (unemployed) union member or two will notice.
Headline #2 was, “Clinton disappoints gays in Russia”. It seems Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, supporter of the war in Iraq and spouse of President Clinton who fathered “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell (DADT)” and the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), did not take the opportunity while visiting the mayor of Moscow, a noted opponent of gay rights, to make a forceful argument for gay rights. Rather, Mrs. Clinton made no supportive statements for gay rights whatsoever lest she offend her bigoted host. This coupled with the honor Nobel laureate Obama bestowed on Rev. Warren, the laureate’s dithering on DADT, and his dithering on DOMA, just maybe a homosexual or two will notice.
Headline #3 was, “Palestinians seek punishment of Israel over Gaza attack.” The article was a painful read as it talked about efforts by the Palestinian Authority to escalate international court proceedings against Israel for defending herself against incessant rocket attacks emanating from Gaza. All the proceedings took place at the United Nations and US Ambassador Susan Rice’s name is not mentioned once in the article; the administration of Nobel laureate Obama choosing to tacitly support the terrorists, I suppose. Maybe an American-Jew or two will notice.
Finally, my fav, headline #4, “Residents of New Orleans losing patience with Obama”. The sub-headline was classic, “Many feel abandoned by government”. No elaboration on my part necessary other than, maybe an African-American or two will notice.
It’s time for the Democratic Party plantation to be liquidated; I am hopeful for the freedom of the oppressed.
