We have met our advocates, and they ARE us.

Our topic today: New Democratic Campaign Strategy for 2012: winning With Out Whites (WOW)

Screenshot Studio capture #329

Apparently Democrats have hit on their preferred strategy:

…a revised Democratic alliance in which whites without college degrees are effectively replaced by well-educated socially liberal whites in alliance with the growing ranks of less affluent minority voters, especially Hispanics.

The 2012 approach treats white voters without college degrees as an unattainable cohort.

In a nutshell, we’ve given up on Joe the Plumber and are going with the intellectual elitists and the perpetual (by design) underclass:

All pretense of trying to win a majority of the white working class has been effectively jettisoned in favor of cementing a center-left coalition made up, on the one hand, of voters who have gotten ahead on the basis of educational attainment — professors, artists, designers, editors, human resources managers, lawyers, librarians, social workers, teachers and therapists — and a second, substantial constituency of lower-income voters who are disproportionately African-American and Hispanic.

Here is a gallery of some of the people from these elite professions that we’ll be relying on this time around (again):

Since we didn’t mention them by name, butt I know we’re counting on them, I guess we’re just taking our crony-capitalists of any hue and from all walks of commerce for granted.

And I guess this means that Big Guy’s team has decided to stick with the OWIES. Although without the Wall Street bankers in his stable this time around, we may have to resort to the OWIES preferred method of commerce - a new socio-economic-political paradigm  - barter.

Also, since we are no longer assuming that we have the doctors in our tent, you might want to raise a few chickens, just in case you get sick.

So I guess the only real question is, Can Big Guy really win the Big White without any of the little Whites?

I suppose it depends on whether they vote or not.

    I thought Ward Churchill had died.  Bummer, that.

  3. Excellent job of covering all the old lefties, MOTUS.  Who knew they were all still living.  At least Ward Churchill lost his job at the UofColorado (?) for pretending to be a Native American, among other things.

    Don't you love that last picture, where MOo is surrounded by white people except for the staffer standing guard?    I think they are very uncomfortable around white people.  I hope that's not racist to say that.

  4. Two of the things I'm taking away from this is; White working class proles have developed an annoying and dangerous habit of paying attention and thinking independently. And in liberal land that is considered hateful extremism. So I guess they were lying when they denied the claim that illegal immigration was the importing of instant voters. Liberals lie? My word!!

    When reality bites them what's their recourse?  "I didn't know"?

    Sometimes I want to scream.

  8. All White people without advanced degrees in the social arts are Racists.  All Black people love people of all races.  All people with degrees from elitist schools love all people, except those who don't have degrees from elitist schools.  Being born in Mexico constitutes a new racial group.  Muslims are a peace-loving people.  People who want a smaller, less intrusive government are nut-jobs and terrorists.
    Americans who own firearms are potential treasonous and anti-American whack-a-doodles. 
    MichelleObama is a fashion icon and a warm, loving person who supports all things military.
    The OWS group is peace-loving, fresh and sponteneous.  Repubs hate women, people of color, poor people and each other.

    Whew!  I say "Bob" so it's time to drink!

  9. The sad thing is how many of the traditional Democrats still believe that all the Ds are "for the working man."  Of course, the Ds aren't gonna send them the memo that they're in the process of being marginalized, if it's not already a fait accompli.

  18. Honestly that teary-eyed "sob! sob!" OWS guy interview is some scary stuff.  You can't make this stuff up.  So what's to stop him and his peeps from assembling his library elsewhere, someplace they have legal access to in order (maybe pay rent to occupy....what a concept!) "to be together, learn together and try to build a new world"?? sob!

    The choked up guy on the left putting his head on the interviewee's shoulder.....another Hallmark moment.  My advice - Toughen up buttercup.

  19. Don't forget the lilly-white forever radicals like Bill Ayers, Medea Benjamin, Jodie Evans, and Wade Rathke, as well as the various SEIU thugs like Trumpka & Stern using their union mebers' hard earned dues to support the big Won. WTF, indeed!

  20. White men ARE stupid: they believe they can score with a desirable women with a certain brand of beer, they believe a pick-up truck with big tires will enhance their manhood, and that women love a man with a 2day old prickly beard. 
    They bought the big lie that women want to have sexual relations with an old man who needs a "blue pill" to make it happen.  Actually, they bought the big lie that women want to have sex with an old man at any time.
    Rich Old White men are the stupidest of all: they believe that 20-something women really, really love them and not their money.

  21. CCG - Are there any ads that aren't a combination of a wimpy man-child and his smarty-pants, bossy wife or girlfriend setting him straight? I've actually strated annoying my husband because I can't help but exclaim, "Oh, good thing that idiot has a woman around or he'd be totally lost!" every time I see one of these insulting ads.

  22. You've nailed my commie brother perfectly (including the additions by MathMom and Schatzi) - except you left out "right wing religious wacko" part.  >:o

    Schatzi - what they really want is to kill granny...

    Life has been very peaceful since I haven't spoken to him in just shy of two years.  I highly recommend this course of action for annoying people (even relatives) who are in your life.

  27. Lots of us got the memo during the 2008 primaries, when Donna Brazile would go on national TV and say things like "we don't need our base, we have a new coalition".  The Democrat Party washed their hands of white working class voters, who overwhelming voted for Hillary.  Since 2008 Obama has made everything worse for working people, and everything better for those who depend on Big Daddy.  So let's see how happy they are this time without their base that they threw under the bus.

    Okay, there really needs to be a sarcasm font. Raj, can you work on that?

    I can't believe that they would actually say they are abandoning the white vote.  I guess they're hoping they cling to their guns and bibles so hard they can't pull the voting lever?

  42. I know Schatzi, butt I can't help myself. I yell at my beloved all the time about this same thing. He probably holds the world record for being unfriended on Facebook for taking on all his leftist friends.

    That having been said, I found this in the New York Times on the latest self-proclaim victiim:
    Unemployed. Check.
    Single mother. Check.
    Previous sexual harassment claim/settled. Check.
    Bankruptcy filing. Check.
    Several eviction notices. Check.
    Stalking temporary protective order against her for repeated e-mails/texts threatening lawsuit and defamation of character. Check.

    That last one, the repeated emails/texts. Apparently, her claim to fame is the 61 phone calls or text messages to and from Cain’s private cellphone that she provided. Given her history, I think this might say more about her than Cain. How many of these 61 calls were made by her? Was she stalking him and just made up this 13-year affair?

  43. That speaks volumes, Phxfan. I am the most prolific writer in my small community, about 1000 people. I've written two good novels that regularly, even after years, stay on the reserve lists, more than 100 articles when I had a humor column, and numerous other editorials on various subjects - including a 5 article series on Islam, which they printed but did not like, in 2002. No one else here comes close to this prolifery, and yet, not once has our library invited me to speak. I asked once, just for grins, and got the run around. Cookbook writers, certainly! Writers of left wing trash? Oh yeah! The dirty conservative - ignore her.

  44. Things About Obama That Didn’t Matter To the MSM


    WHEN he refused to disclose who donated money to his election campaign, as other candidates had done, it didn’t seem to matter.
    WHEN he received endorsements from people like Louis Farrakhan, Mummar Kadaffi and Hugo Chavez,  it didn’t seem to matter.
    WHEN it was pointed out that he was a total newcomer and had absolutely no experience at anything except community organizing, it didn’t seem to matter.
    WHEN he chose friends and acquaintances such as Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn who were revolutionary radicals, it didn’t seem to matter.

They don't believe we send our kids to get duh-grees, if we are conservative, or vote republican. It cannot possibly be! 2012 November cannot get here soon enough.

  55. bettyann, I don't know about others here, but I was paying attention in 2008. I lost friends because I tried to tell them what I'd learned about That One. I blogged, I wrote letters to the papers and TV stations, I made campaign calls, put up signs, donated as much as I could, Dobbs. I felt like Cassandra, shouting a prophecy to anyone who'd listen, only to find out most people weren't listening. My fervent prayer is that you are right and people have awakened in time to fix this national nightmare. My fear is that the Hope Dope has only awakened a sense of hopelessness and helplessness.

  59. Well at least the O's have put class warfare front and center, and stopped pretending. Speaking of the election, I am extremely confused. I am assuming Newt will call out O on his hidden paperwork, Mitt ? Not so sure.. I mean the first time around, it did not occurr to most of us that Bo might not be 'natural born'.Nobody knew his SS#belonged to a dead resident of Connecticut, or that he never had a girlfriend. Far too many, the media and voters included were buying the sizzle and not looking at the steak.. My question is, how does he pull that off a second time ? And how many laws will he break, trying to stay behing the green curtain ?

  60. Yes, Libby - I sincerely feel sorry for my teenage son, being raised on "white males are idiots".

  64. How kind of you to notice and ask!
    TMI:  Distractions: surgeries, Mah Man had a flukey (he's in REALLY good shape). but serious Heart Attack.  And while I'm at it, I want to pay homage to Paramedics and Regions Hospital.  He was in severe chest pain,  I called 911, the terrific dispatcher said, "Give him an adult aspirin to chew, turn on your outside lights and put your pets away."
    I did the first two, turned to put the pets away, and the paramedics were coming up the stairs!  They started IV's, gave him some morpohine, began EKG's that were immediately transmitted to the ER.  Within 35 minutes, he was finished with a heart catheterization, had  a stent in and was ready to go to a private room.  Holy moley.  Those paramedics prob saved his life.  And he's fine now, like it never happened. I tell you, these paramedics,and docs, at least in my neck of the woods, have these procedures in place, practice them, and patients go home in 48 hours!
    So here's the deal: see that your City Council supports your Fire Department and Cops.  They save lives.  And never never drive yourself to the ER when you're having chest pain.
    Dodging bullets here, but back, and again, thank you kindly for asking.

I won't expend the energies I gave previously...lovely gifts, birthday parties, etc. She now falls into the category of "history butt no longer important". I don't forget 40 years of friendship maintenance only to mindlessly be called "racist" because I left the Di

The country my forefathers helped is more important to me than what they have to offer...conditional love. They prefer to stay on the Hollywood bandwagon and those idiots are vapid and repugnant. They do get the Academy DVD's to watch so as to vote for the awards...saves having to pay for a ticket for trash.

  83. Drat: I was SURE I posted this, will try again.
    First, thanks for asking: I was distracted with surgeries and/but Mah Man had a flukey but major Heart Attack  He is really in good shape, takes good care of himself,
    BUT TMI: sudden severe chest pain, called 911, the dispatcher said to give him an adult aspirin to chew, turn on outside lights and put the pets away.I did the first two, went to put the pets away and the paramedics were coming up the stairs!
    They started IV's, gave him morphine, began EKG monitoring which was sent stat to Regions Hospital ER.They prob saved his life.  Within 35 minutes of the first 911 call, he was out of the Heart Cath lab, blockage resolved, with a stent in and on his way to a private room.
    I can't say enough good stuff about paramedics and the Regions staff.
    Moral of the story: tell your City Council you support their support for the paramedics, fire and police Dep'ts. If you or your person has chest pain, NEVER drive yourself (or let him/her drive) to the ER.
    He's fine now, like it never happened.  Dodging bullets here, but/And thank you kindly for asking.

    Here is a report from a NRO (that's National review online) staffer who was on the ground for Herb's fabulous foreign policy speech today:
    .

    At Hillsdale College tonight, Herman Cain said nothing about Ginger White’s accusations. He spoke for roughly 40 minutes, giving a speech that was advertised as a policy talk on foreign affairs and national security. It was curiously light on substance. For an address whose refrain was “peace through strength and clarity,” his views on Afghanistan and other matters remain as unclear as ever. He just seemed out of his depth. When Cain was done, he took no questions. The audience, full of conservatives who would have met him with rapturous approval just a month ago, received him politely but without great enthusiasm. This was not the performance of a candidate who looks determined to battle on."

    "Out of his depth"  "Curiously light on substance"   "Unclear.'  Goodness.  It's almost like Herb Cain is pulling a scam here.  That can't be true, though, because Schatzi has stated that Herb is a genius who should be President.  Right?  
    Hi Bettyann!  You're on the list now too.
    Morons who support a sexual predator because Rush Limbaugh told them to.

  97. Random thought re OWIES - Is there an Occupy Beverly Hills movement?  (yes, yes - I heard the joke about the two Jewish guys occupying a BH Starbucks, complaining of the price of lattes)  Carmel?  Grosse Pointe?

    Just curious....

  102. @schatzi--Good to meet another member of the Tom Selleck fan club! I've been in love with him for about 40 years now :)  Blue Bloods is terrific.

    I've also become hooked on Person of Interest.

  105. pwitter-- I realize I wasn't here for a few days and so missed the dust-up that seems to have you so worked up.That said, can I just offer a tiny bit of advice? You're a valuable contributor here and have been for some time. It appears that opinions clashed and harsh words were exchanged. I can understand your feelings. Some time ago I was excoriated by another poster here for my defense of Hillary. After I overcame my shock that his words were aimed with such derision, I made up my mind to simply not respond, not read his words and continue to enjoy all the other wonderful posters here. May I suggest you try the same approach? There are so many opinions and thoughts that are shared by us here, it would be a shame for you to deny yourself that pleasure.

    And as Lyndon Johnson once said, "If two men agree on everything, you can be sure only one of them is doing all the thinking."

  107. pwitter, I support a conservative who wants to overhaul the tax code. Mrs. Cain seems happy and supportive enough, and that's good enough for me. Cain commited no crimes. I refuse to fall for the media's version of Herman Cain, whom they DREAD.

    If you don't like us, go away. I personally will not be your whipping boy. Consider this my last word on the subject.

  110. Wow Portia! I hope you enjoy if very much, and that you are blessed with as many kooks in your own life, including maybe a substance abusing porker, named Mr. Schnitzel, who in real life used to eat the straw bales out from under the neighbor's trailers, with the bow & arrow targets.

  112. I KNOW how dealing with libtard "friends" can be, but did you ever stop and think of how excruciatingly hard it must be for BLACK people who refuse to jump on the obobo wagon?  I actually know a few who, right from the start, had DEEP misgivings about him.    Some of the black people that I work with even told me that their ministers preached that obobo was THE antichrist!  Not just the antichrist spirit, mind you, but THE one!  Actually, they may have something there with THAT thought, LOL! There is even a black minister here in NYC whose congregation went to D.C. to hear Larry Sinclair speak and to lend him their moral support!   He has a very strong presence on the net.  You can catch some of his sermons on youtube.  Just look for Pastor James Manning on Atlah Worldwide.  He is a HOOT but will DEFINITELY give a lot of food for thought.    To top it all off, a lot of black people don't even consider obobo black.  A gal from Nigeria told me that people from the continent of Africa do NOT consider black americans as African AT ALL!  She was quite amused, to the point of" displaying some derision at the term African American.  To them, the term "black"  designates one as American, hence obobo TRULY is  Afro-ARAB  (a whole other can of worms)! American but not Moochelle or the wee wons.  Also, she said that real Africans tend to look down on black/African Americans (take your pick) and DO NOT like it at ALL when we blanket THEM (real Africans)  as black/AA.  And they say WE'RE predudiced?!!    To tell you the truth, it was quite an eye opener and I learned quite a bit about  just how complicated seemlingly simple things like identifying someone by skin color can be.  I live and work in NYC, so I guess it's easier for me to be exposed to so many different ideas, as NYC is so very full of different folks.  Anyway, I just thought I would share this, as it was all new to me and gave me a LOT to think about.
