Obama Escapes With Second Term

 President Barack Obama was elected Tuesday by over 2 million votes over Republican challenger Mitt Romney. Obama secured his re-election with decisive victories in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Iowa and Michigan. The President was also able to emerge victorious in the bellwether State of Ohio by just 51,000 votes. The pundits are of course writing the GOP's obituary and projecting a long absence from the White House. The Democrats also pick up two Senate seats. The calls for Republicans soul searching and re-branding have already begun. One of the clearest differences between the two sides is the left's mastery of pandering politics. The Democrats have made a very good living off of what talk show Dennis Prager has termed the liberal trinity: race, gender, class. They continuously pat themselves on the back for the 'diversity' in their ranks-I call it exploitation. Each election cycle, blacks and other minority groups are trotted out and manipulated  into storming to the polls to put a halt to some sort of oppressive racist conspiracy conjured up by the GOP. Admittedly the right isn't good at this which is both a strength and its greatest weakness. The nature of politics today dictates that in order to "expand the tent" one must cater to specific voting blocks racial and ethnic and or gender sensibilities. In other words tell them how the rich white male is out to get them. The conservative message isn't about race, gender, class, religion or any other identity marker. Unfortunately, for the overwhelming majority of blacks with its addiction to government intervention, may be completely antithetical to a conservative platform-at least for the foreseeable future.

It is important for us on the right to remember that in politics there are no permanent victories. We have two years to prepare for the 2014 midterm congressional races and maybe we"ll have the opportunity to undue some of the damage.

The Social Democrats have successfully engaged in the classical divide and conquer tactics. Tell women how their contraceptive & abortion rights will be taken away, tell Hispanics how they will be deported, tell blacks that Jim Crow will be re-instituted, tell gays how all their rights will be taken, tell the poor their welfare will be taken away from (& given to the rich), tell the old how Medicare will be raided and so on. Instill fear into these groups in the hopes they vote on their singular issue based on their grouping. In other words, vote with fear based on race, class, gender. ~Dan Messina

The Legend Of The Unarmed White Man (Revised)

Image
The August 2014 shooting death of unarmed black teen Mike Brown in St. Louis by a white police officer and the subsequent decision by the grand jury not to indict has brought unrest to American Streets. The protestors feel that police are shooting and killing mostly unarmed black men at alarming rates. Many also believe that police interaction amongst white's is all together different due to the benefits of "white privilege". "If that had of been a white man..." is a common refrain from blacks when speaking of a negative experience with a white police officer. The media plays an integral role in these perceptions by continuously assaulting us with images of black victims and white perpetrators. In light of the Brown incident and other controversial shootings this year, the adjective attached to these perceived victims is "unarmed". The term is a staple in the lexicon of the American media which has painted a false sense of reality for millions of Ame

BP Crisis Brings Out Radical Left

Image
Once again the left, with the help of Jesse Jackson shows its ignorance of and hatred for capitalism. The BP crisis which began with the explosion of an offshore oil rig which resulted in a fire that killed 19 people. The pipe located one mile undersea began to spew oil into the gulf and has for over fifty days now. The Reverend has been for weeks calling for a boycott of BP. Now comes word that several BP stations have been vandalized. The fact that such vitriol and anger results from what was clearly a tragic accident is surely tragic in itself. Someone should explain to the reverend that oil companies exited the gas station business years ago. The stations are by and large owned by franchisees and independent operators who squeeze out razor thin margins on gasoline-hence the reason for the lottery tickets, potato chips and soft drinks that has become a staple of these often family owned businesses. To make matters worse, the Rev. Jackson stated that "the mom and pop stations a

Uncovering A Gigantic Royal Scam

Image
The old saying "Too many chiefs and not enough Indians" is by modern standards politically incorrect. However there is a new phenomena that is could take its place. There seems to be too many Kings and Queens and not enough subjects. Peruse Facebook and one will see untold references to "Black Kings" and "Black Queens" which is intended to foster self esteem in the black community. What is wrong with this one may ask? It is built on a ridiculous premise, historical ignorance and grotesque revisionism. For starters, every culture at one time or another has been ruled by monarchs. So by this logic every Anglo British citizen is a King or a Queen since they still have a symbolic monarchy today. Kings and Queens are mere titles-not character traits. Monarchs were selected by either bloodline or bloody conquest. Some of the most dastardly rulers in history were Kings. King John, Herod, Leopold, Caligula are just a few-African rulers were hardly an exception. I
