For the past couple of days, Rush Limbaugh has been reporting on the “Uncivil War’ in the Democrat party. This is between the Mrs. Clinton hit machine and Barack Obama. All of the attacks have come from the Mrs. Clinton hit machine, but she is the one calling for the cease fire.
The one thing that is interesting about the uncivil war is that all the attacks have come from one side. That side claims the other side is attacking and they are responding. Yet, nobody can find anywhere that the Obama camp has made any remarks about Mrs. Clinton being female or that Barack is black.
The fallout from the attacks has been remarkable. The Clinton attack machine has been shown to be exactly that, an attack machine. They are willing to chew up any thing or any one that gets in their way. They do have a pattern in their attacks; they always phrase their attacks as if they are responding to someone else’s attack. In this case, they have been made to look foolish and their candidate looks foolish as a result. Nothing could be sweeter!
The one thing to remember about cease fire’s, is that the one calling for a cease fire is just calling for it so they can regroup. They are losing and have to find a way to stop the bleeding. The fastest way to stop the bleeding is to stop the shooting. They fully intend to start the shooting again when they are fully stocked and ready to go with a new strategy.
The other thing to remember about the Democrat party is that they have always been about race. Before the Civil War, they were the party that owned slaves and the party that condoned the owning of slaves. During the Civil War, they were the party that wanted to divide the country into slave and free. After the Civil War, they were against giving civil rights to blacks. The “Jim Crow” laws in the South were passed through Democrat controlled legislatures and enforced by Democrat county executives. When the Civil Rights bill was passed over their objection, they figured out that if they promised equality blacks would flock to the Democrat banner. They were right. Up until the Civil Rights bill was passed, more blacks voted with the Republicans than with the Democrats. The Democrats promised them a seat at the table and a chance at obtaining power.
Now it is time for the Democrat party to pay up. Barack Obama is knocking at the door and saying I demand that I get equal treatment. The Democrat party establishment is saying that we are lily white and intend to stay that way. No blacks will ever be allowed into the real power circle until they are forced to put them there. Look at where Democrat politicians appoint blacks to their cabinets; at the lower power positions. The top positions are always given to white politicians. Look at where Republican politicians put blacks in their cabinets; they used to also put them at the back, now they are in real leadership positions. It is my opinion, but, I believe that a black will be elected President from the Republican Party before one is elected from the Democrat party. The same goes for females. I could be wrong on that one, but I do not think so.
My hope is that blacks will see how the leadership of the Democrat party treats a black candidate for President of the United States. When they see that Democrats are not serious about giving a black person a chance to be President, more will move to the Republican ranks. The Republicans have more in common with what the blacks say they want than the Democrats do any way. That would mean a big power shift if even 10% of the blacks left the Democrat Party and moved to the Republicans.
