Why this country can't come together: The Obama Revolution

On November 6th, 2 days after the election of Barack Obama as US President, a wave of hysterical irrational emotionalism has swept through a good part of the country and the media. The election has been considered historic, unprecedented, the arc of history. It hasn't been any of these things. It has been the victory of Democratic Machine politics over an extremely unpopular Republican party which has utterly failed to communicate it's goals and position since the Iraqi invasion

For example, look at the opinion in the New York Times by Judith Warner titled 'Tears to Remember' which I also archived locally. Here she wrote

On Wednesday, Nov. 5, 1980, my 10th-grade American history teacher started class by unfurling The New York Times. She pointed to its triple banner headline: Reagan Easily Beats Carter; Republicans Gain in Congress; DaAmato and Dodd are Victors.

Save this paper, she told us. This is the start of a whole new era.

And it was. An era of unbridled deregulation, wealth-enhancing perks for the already well-off, and miserly indifference to the poor and middle class; of the recasting of greed as goodness, the equation of bellicose provincialism with patriotism, the reframing of bigotry as small-town decency.

This is a flat out lie and its demagoguery which not only ignors the facts but it also charts a path for increasing domestic violence, the destruction of the current progress in race relations, and leaves New York City vernable to a terrorist attack.

Judith Warner is a lier. Either that or she suffers from amnesia. Or maybe she is just too young to remember. And she is not alone in this. Bill Moyer is a likewise lier who simple says that anyone who disagrees with him is evil. Being that he is a preacher, I guess one can expect such behaviors.

The Reagan revolution was not based on a racist impulse and the desire to squash the poor. It was a response to 30 years of poverty programs in our urban centers which inflamed race relations, jeopardized our economy which had been crippled with a decade of stagflation and gas shortages, stop government intervention which increasingly infringed on civil rights, and protested a foreign policy which not only left America weak and vernable, but offered no hope for the Eastern Block nations or the third world for any future other than living under the boot of tyrany.

Brooklyn and New York City was unlivable, but the white flight was called racist rather than the attempt to escape the high taxes, impossible expenses and most of all the urban warfare which our streets became. A white man walking on Pitkin Avenue was assured 100% to be robbed, if not killed. And likewise, in response blacks were unsafe in white working neighborhoods which were left behind of mass exodus of the city and region.

Instead of piling uneducated minorities into housing projects, putting them on food stamps and welfare, and praying that they won't stalk the subway, or kill you in Times Square, a new and affective means of addressing poverty and the economy, work programs were initiated, welfare programs limited, and the economy was allowed to flourish. Add to that, City crime was aggressively attacked, drug trafficking shut down from Washington Heights to East New York and the economy of entrepreneurship was unleashed.

The result was a life changing bull run on the economy for nearly 20 years from the mid-1980's until just now. The reduction of crime caused neighborhood after neighborhood to blossom as ghetto afer ghetto had turned from death traps to areas of opportunity. Nearly a full generation has now grown up in our urban areas never experiencing a gun being pulled out on them in a robbery attempt, or just because they were on the wrong side of the color line. We have integrated now in ways the American left could never have imagined, and not because of divisive poverty programs, but because our government has come to view our population not as statistics, crime statistics, poverty statistics, racial statistic, but instead come to view up as free people with potential. That potential exists in every one of us, whether you are Black, Hispanic, Baptist, Pakistani, Jewish, or Korean. We all need to be able to live and grow in a safe streets, and safe schools. We all have the right, regardless of our color or our education for clean streets, a working subway, and a chance to better ourselves.

That is the Conservative Revolution of the 1980's. And it has been extraordinary in the breadth and depth of its success. People find equal opportunity, and chances to exploit our potential today everywhere. And perhaps the hysterical liberals in the Democratic party should consider this: It was every bit as likely for the first African American President to have come from the Republican Party as from the Democratic Party In fact, it was more likely as women and minorities have increasingly found high levels of office under the Republican Banner. Who was the first Black Secretary of State? A Republican. Who was the first Black women who was Secretary of State? A Republican. Who was the first Women Governor of New Jersey? A Republican. The Republican party has been a party of equal oppurtunity as it was when Lincoln freed the slaves in 1865, and when it broke up school segregation when Eisenhower appointed Earl Warren to the Supreme Court and integrated the Armed Forces and sent the 101st Airbourne division to integrate High Schools in Little Rock, Arkansas, or when Ronald Reagan appointed the first women and a Black Man to the Supreme Court, and seperated the idea that poverty program and entitlements were equal to a commitment toward equal oppurtunity and civil rights. Black Republicans and Black Conservatives deserve recognition for the vital roll they have played in paving the way for increasing degree of racial and economic equality of the world today. In fact, I dare say that without the efforts of Republicans in spreading economic and political empowerment, not entitlement, across all races and religions, then the Barack Obama political machine would have been stopped and squashed by that racist Democratic Daley machine which stomped out political equality in Chicago for nearly a century. Or along with everything the liberals are forgetting, should we also forget the trials of Harold Washington?

The Republican party hasn't just talked Civil Rights, they have appointed and promoted minorities proactively at every opportunity, putting women and minorities on the national and local stage for over 100 years.

It is pathetic for the Obama supporters to paint the Republican party with the brush of racism. They have every reason to look to themselves for the lack of progress that was made over thirty years. Their programs have been consistent failures at pushing our society towards prosperity or integration. On the other hand they have been very effective at building divisiveness, and creating fear between the peoples which constitute the free citizens of Brooklyn, New York and the Nation. Lets all pray that today's youth don't have to relearn the violent lessons of previous years of racial and poverty politics. Because God help us all if we are forced to relive the 1970's of my youth.

 

Actually reliving the 70's of my youth comes quite often. Theyre called flashbacks. You are painting all Obama supporters as the same. I dont think all of them see the GOP as racist. Al Sharpton doesnt speak for all blacks or Obama supporters.

 

Yeah - too bad Rudy cracked down on all those drugs....that unamerican dictator in drag...

Ruben

 

Your a crackpot. You are, however, the perfect example of the kind of intolerant, raving crackpot that makes people quezy.

If Rice ran for President, I'm sure you'd stop around and call her an Uncle Tom.

But when the Democrats in Chicago actively kicked off as many Blacks as possible off the voters rolls through legal maneuvering, that was just fine....because...hey... YOU are a CRACKPOT.

Ruben

 

If you only knew just how corrupt she is!

They began throwing fistfuls of fake paper money and shouting, ''The elephants can't buy their freedom, but Ringling bought you.''

For a brief few seconds, as the green and white play money swirled around the mayor's lectern and into the laps of reporters at his daily news conference, it seemed to be part of the event. Mr. Giuliani and other officials, including the Manhattan district attorney, Robert M. Morgenthau, looked on uncomprehendingly as police officers in the City Hall security detail dragged the two protesters from the room.

Sorry , but I am going to post my thoughts.

Anything said by Toad is like something you would step over on the sidewalk. I thought Clembo was a sicko. This Toad is freakin out there. Clembo is a freakin genius compared to this Toad. Talk about fookin koolaide and intern appointments
Nuff said.

 

Yeah, I try to keep an open mind and listen to everything that people here have to say whether I agree or not but Toad is getting lumped in with old (and missing) Danr in my mind. Someone whose thought process is just not worth the effort to discuss. It is too extreme and intolerant for me to want to engage.

 

I think that to class all Repbulican supporters as Dangerouse Racists is rather silly in exactly the same way classing all Democrats as Loony left is silly.
Both parties have there share of kooks it is the nature of politics to sometimes draw the worst elements to a cause. Over here in the 1980 Neil Kinnock began a campaign to rid the Labour party of it's extreem left wingers and did so, now David Cameron (Conservative) is trying to remake the conservative party as a much more inclusive machine.
Both US parties need to have a similar house clearing in my opinion, you might not like the Dems or the Reps but if you want to change them then join the party and start at the grass roots level, that is how change begins.

 

There's a lot of intolerance in the name of tolerance in this country.

 

Votes Magically Appear for Liberal Ex-Comedian
Posted by Hans Bader

In Minnesota, votes are appearing, seemingly out of thin air, for the liberal Senate candidate (and onetime comedian) Al Franken. Attorney Scott Johnson says that “the election appears to be in the process of being stolen.”

Incumbent Senator Norm Coleman led in election-day results, but his lead keeps shrinking and shrinking, and is now down to an infinitesmal 200 votes out of more than 2 million votes cast.

For example, a bunch of new votes suddenly appeared in Minnesota’s Mountain Iron precinct. But as Attorney John Hinderaker notes, “Mountain Iron uses optical scanning, so the Coleman campaign asked for a copy of the tape documenting the ballots cast on election night. St. Louis County responded by providing a tape that includes the newly-added 100 votes, and is dated November 2–the Sunday before the election. St. Louis County reportedly denies being able to produce the genuine tape from election night, even though Minnesota law, as I understand it, requires that tape to be signed by the election judges and publicly displayed.”

Minnesota’s Secretary of State, who oversees the election process, was backed by the left-wing groups MoveOn.Org and ACORN. (ACORN has a long history of voter fraud and financial fraud).

In Virginia, Tom Perriello unseated Congressman Virgil Goode by a margin of less than 600 votes. Thousands of college students’ votes resulted in the outcome. Many out-of-state college students chose to vote in Virginia rather than their home state this year, despite the fact that some of them were registered to vote elsewhere, and had received absentee ballots from their home state. Thus, vote fraud may have affected the outcome in Virginia’s 5th Congressional District.

I used to handle voting rights cases an attorney. So this is especially disturbing to me.

 

So get back out there and try to right the wrong.

 

When someone starts and ends a statement with bashing someone, and doesn't offer any kind of intelligent reasoning behind it, it means they are incapable of intelligent argument. I find that ironic, coming from you Jack! I thought you were intelligent but I guess when you have no foundation to stand on, like the current republican party, all you can do is lash out at others since you are the lame duck party now.

If you ever feel like arguing intelligently, I'm up to the task but until then, just STFU and stay in your corner like a good little boy!

Ribbit

 

To classify anything as absolute, is ridiculous. That's why I didn't do that but when there are a lot alike, that is when they become dangerous, as in this subject.

Ribbit

 

No, there is a point at which it is no longer worth having a dialog with someone, and ...well...calling Washington DC the center of tyranny pretty much puts someone into that category.

Ruben

 

Well where exactly is the center of tyranny then?

 

Why don't you move there Ruben and then talk about it? Try living with no voice in your government and see how you'd like it? United States citizens in the District of Columbia, the seat of the United States government, sworn to rid the world of tyranny (definition - arbitrary or unrestrained exercise of power; despotic abuse of authority.), live without representation in what you call your government and they call their rulers.

I guess you've never seen a license plate from D.C.?

Ribbit

 

I don't like DC. The town has too much overt racist.
