Today, there is a “Northern Strategy.”
It’s the insidious accusation of racism in order keep blacks angry
and voting 95 percent-plus for the Democratic vote. Examples:
-- Voter ID: AG Eric Holder says the laws “are designed to depress
the vote of particular groups of people who are not supportive of the party
that is advancing these photo ID measures.” Recall that Holder,
sociologist-in-mid-season-form, once said "America,” when it comes to
race, has been “a nation of cowards.”
Cowards? Abolition movement; Civil War resulting in some 700,000 dead
(equivalent to a population-adjusted death toll of 7,000,000 -- and this
doesn’t included maimed and wounded); the pre- and modern civil rights
movement; LBJ’s war on poverty (ill-advised, notwithstanding); the appointment
of back-to-back black secretaries of State -- up to and including the election
of a black president, the first and only majority white society to do so -- represents,
in matters of “race,” a national “cowardice”?
What does that even mean? A “nation of cowards”?
How do you define it, quantify it? Or is it just another demagogic
design to, in some eerie horror film-like way, let the 95 percenters know that
The Man has only been held down temporarily by President Obama. He’s out in
2017. Then it’s back to the basement, planting mushrooms in the dark, awaiting
enlightenment.
-- Obamacare opposition: Jimmy Carter said the
"vociferous" opposition to Obamacare is because some people cannot
accept Obama's race.
-- DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz saying the GOP wants to
"return to the days of Jim Crow."
-- Hillary Clinton (who never served in the House): “When you look
at the way the House of Representatives has been run, it has been run like a
plantation, and you know what I'm talking about."
-- Joe Biden: Republicans would “put y’all back in chains.”
-- Charlie Rangel saying about the GOP in the 1994 Republican-led
House: "It's not 'spic' or 'nigger' any more. They say, 'Let's cut
taxes.'"
It’s today’s “progressives” who seek Jim Crow-like mandates on
private conduct. Examples include the science-defying anti-e-cig laws;
Bloomberg’s nothing-larger-than-16oz Slurpee campaign; “commonsense gun
control” laws; requiring employers to supply contraceptives despite religious
objections; mandating that porn actors to wear a condom; and many, many others.
What these laws have in common with Jim Crow is that they tell
people how to behave with or on their own property -- as long as it's on the
government's terms.
