Sam Tannenhaus on NPR: Why Does the GOP Continue to Be ‘The Party of White People?’

“Who needs Manhattan when we have the Southern states?”
Politics • Views: 25,534

Here’s Tannenhaus’s full article at the New Republic: Original Sin - Why the GOP is and will continue to be the party of white people.

“Who needs Manhattan when we can get the electoral votes of eleven Southern states?” Kevin Phillips, the prophet of “the emerging Republican majority,” asked in 1968, when he was piecing together Richard Nixon’s electoral map. The eleven states, he meant, of the Old Confederacy. “Put those together with the Farm Belt and the Rocky Mountains, and we don’t need the big cities. We don’t even want them. Sure, Hubert [Humphrey] will carry Riverside Drive in November. La-de-dah. What will he do in Oklahoma?”

Forty-five years later, the GOP safely has Oklahoma, and Dixie, too. But Phillips’s Sunbelt strategy was built for a different time, and a different America. Many have noted Mitt Romney’s failure to collect a single vote in 91 precincts in New York City and 59 precincts in Philadelphia. More telling is his defeat in eleven more of the nation’s 15 largest cities. Not just Chicago and Columbus, but also Indianapolis, San Diego, Houston, even Dallas—this last a reason the GOP fears that, within a generation Texas will become a swing state. Remove Texas from the vast, lightly populated Republican expanse west of the Mississippi, and the remaining 13 states yield fewer electoral votes than the West Coast triad of California, Oregon, and Washington. If those trends continue, the GOP could find itself unable to count on a single state that has as many as 20 electoral votes.

To paraphrase an old Onion article:

“We’re forcing the enemy to cover huge areas of the country while we remain an elite corps huddled in this hidden mountain cave.”

The Southern Strategy cost them everything else.

Thank Cthulhu for that.

Interesting article.

It has been impossible for me to take “states rights” etc. seriously as an intellectual argument ever since I realized that in US history, this point has had widespread traction in only two cases:

1) Nullification etc. in the South in the pre-Civil War era.

2) State-level resistance to Federal civils rights and desegregation actions in the 20th century.

QED.

States rights are complete bullshit once you realize how many times the South had the Federal government back their states rights over the rest of the Union.

Same thing as gay marriage. They want it to be Federal law if they can ban it, but if it looks like its allowed, they want to make it a state issue.

Damned good article. Folks today don’t realize just how long this whole deal with the GOP has been going on. Think what has made the biggest difference has been the end of the Cold War, robbing the GOP of an “Evil Empire” to rail against. Dubya tried to revive that spirit with the “Axis of Evil,” and even today the GOP is trying to inflate North Korea and Iran when they aren’t still giving Russia weary glances, but overall the whole “If you don’t elect us, America is doomed!” business is falling apart.

The USSR really was an existential threat (of mutual destruction). Nothing else since then comes remotely close. This lack of an existential threat is clearly causing all kinds of trouble within movement conservatism.

About that Navy Seal who claimed to be broke and uninsured after killing Osama bin Laden…

Esquire magazine claims “The Man Who Killed Osama bin Laden … Is Screwed.”

The story details the life of the Navy SEAL after the successful raid to take out the No. 1 terrorist, and it asserts that once the SEAL got out of the military he was left to fend for himself.

“…here is what he gets from his employer and a grateful nation:

Nothing. No pension, no health care, and no protection for himself or his family.”

Except the claim about health care is wrong. And no servicemember who does less than 20 years gets a pension, unless he has to medically retire.

Like every combat veteran of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, the former SEAL, who is identified in the story only as “the Shooter”, is automatically eligible for five years of free healthcare through the Department of Veterans Affairs.

But the story doesn’t mention that.

If I’m not mistaken, five years isn’t the end of it — I believe they go through a reevaluation process; if you’re still needy after that time you can still get your health care through the VA.

“And then I was in New York. I said, ‘Hey Hillary, you might want to ride one of these into the sunset, you worthless bitch.’”

“I was just out in California. How about Barbara Boxer. She might want to suck on my machine-gun. Hey Diane Feinestein, ride one of these you worthless whore.”

Prior to his arrest, Llaneza met with a man he thought was connected with the Taliban and the mujahidin in Afghanistan — though he was actually an undercover FBI agent. The terrorist suspect suggested carrying out an attack against a bank in the San Francisco Bay Area using a car bomb. He planned to carry out the false flag attack and make it appear as if “the responsible party was an umbrella organization for a loose collection of anti-government militias and their sympathizers.”

“Llaneza’s stated goal was to trigger a governmental crackdown, which he expected would trigger a right-wing counter-response against the government followed by, he hoped, civil war,” the FBI release states.

It’s the desire to find a collaborator that does them in every time.

Stealth Creationist Meets Open Creationist: Texas SBOE Chair Barbara Cargill and State Sen. Donna Campbell

“At today’s Senate confirmation hearing on Barbara Cargill’s reappointment as State Board of Education chair, Texans got a chance to see two of their elected leaders vandalizing the concept of science education in public schools.”

Sen. Campbell:
“Are we saying with this conversation here, which I’m kind of coming in here – that there is opposition, because we do not have the scientific facts to teach creation – that God did create world and man – I mean, are we trying to eliminate that? Or are we just saying we want to include evolution, or where are we there?”

Ms. Cargill:
“So what we want teachers to do is to be sure and teach the parts of the fossil record in that, if you look at what has been discovered so far, that science might show that there are links between different species. So that would be one part of the science; what I would consider a strength to the theory of evolution. But then let’s look at some more science. What about stasis, which are periods of time where no new fossils appeared. Or let’s talk about transitional fossils and how some of those are missing from the fossil record, and how less than 1% of all fossils have been discovered. So it’s still all science that they’re discussing….”

Sen. Campbell:
(talking about teaching creationism in public schools):
“But we don’t want to eliminate those things that you still do have to go on faith that are out there. I mean we—you know, science is—there are some things I you know would venture to say we’re not gonna know until we, you know, go on to eternity. Obviously I’m a Christian. I do believe in God as the creator of life, so I’m trying to make, I’m just trying to see and I don’t know if it’s your purview or if I need to check with the TEA, where that falls in line. To make sure we’re not just teaching that evolution is our only—because we can measure. To me, obviously I if I was creating anything and I had a good model like DNA, I’d use it and just tweak it a bit and have a monkey here or fish here or whatever.”

On the topic, the GOP isn’t even really the party of white people, but more specifically the party of white evangelical and born again christians. Obama actually won whites who aren’t evangelicals. The GOP is more of a white nationalist religious cult than a secular political party.

More info trickling in as time goes by. Apparently the earthquake in NK has now been pegged at closer to 5.0, with reports calling it “unusual.” Being noted that the area where its centered is not known for quakes, especially at such a shallow depth.

Same thing as gay marriage. They want it to be Federal law if they can ban it, but if it looks like its allowed, they want to make it a state issue.

Calhoun himself only adopted his later views when he lost out on a tariff vote that he and the Southern plantation aristocrats were against. He then went home and sulked and renounced his former ideology which was pro-federalist.

So they are all about imposing govt’s power on others but not when it disfavors them and it has been that way from the South since Calhoun.

It has infected the very marrow of what at one time was an honorable group of people,they have been taken hostage by a cabal of leaders and TV prostelitizers who force fear and ignorance on to them. Only now are the American people starting to wake up to this dark time.
