“White Privilege” and the Destruction of the Democratic Majority
Col Mike walker, USMC (retired)
All,
Not all that long ago, the Democratic Party looked to have cobbled together a near permanent majority coalition (“near” as bad governance will do in anyone).
Not so anymore.
Today there is not a single Democratic Senator, Governor or Democratically controlled legislature from Texas to North Carolina, the fastest growing region in the United States.
The respected and likeable two-term Democratic Senator from Louisiana just became the latest candidate to get shellacked in the 2014 Mid-Term Elections.
Why?
Like the Republican Party that shifted right with the rise of the Tea Party in 2009, the Democrats are now shifting further left as seen in Elizabethan populism but perhaps best captured by the destructive extremism known as “White Privilege,” a reckless position held to not by truth but by a religious-like belief that is impervious to reason.
The result is middle class flight from the Democrat establishment the likes of which has never been witnessed.
To understand just how out of touch the "Party of special interests" has become, read the 1995 editorial by former-Democratic Senator Jim Webb:
The Bill Clinton-Jim Webb mainstream wing of the Democratic Party is on life support and too many Democrat Party elites are more than willing to pull the plug.
Happy Holidays,
Mike
