On November 28th, Thomas Edsall, of the New York Times wrote a story about the Democrat's no-white-guys strategy for the 2012 election. I think they must have read my post "The White Party" published here November 25th.
It is indeed a sincere form of flattery which I appreciate.

Colin Powell
Slick Willy's counterpart, Colin Powell, was on Meet the Press today, mouthing off about the Tea Party's responsibility for most of what's wrong with Washington. Really. That's what he said. He followed that by a cri de couer for centralism, as a necessary condition precedent to compromise which he opined as the heart of our political history - and future.
Well, he ought to know.
Powell is without peer as a spineless political type; sort of a black David Gergen. He alleges to be a Republican but seemingly takes the Democrat party's planks to heart or to the camera which is where his heart really is. He voted against McCain, publicly, and with smooth apologies for having to do so. He says Obama has made mostly correct decisions, especially financial decisions. He plays his miltary career to the hilt because, were he other than military, he'd have been toast long ago. On the other hand, it was he who advised Bush 41 not to depose Saddam Hussein leaving that for Bush 43 who bungled the whole thing.
Clearly, I am not a fan of Powell. To me, he's a usable tool for left and right all for feathering his personal publicity nest. He is a perfect example of a racist black. Obama is a disaster: most Democrats would prefer him different or gone. Nonetheless, Powell, the alleged Republican, is a big Obama fan. That's because they're both sort of black. They look like coffee with cream rather than just plain black; they've used that to their personal advantage as infinitum and they hang together for that very reason. You might call them the 95 percenters for the 95% of blacks who voted for Obama.
I'll take Herman.

The White Party
Of necessity, Republicans are fast becoming The White Party. Those who condemn that transformation as racist are numerous but silent about the Democrats having already become the Black and Brown party. That is, of course, not racist. That 95% of blacks who voted for president in 2008 voted for the black candidate is also not racist. Even Catholics for Kennedy wasn't close to that: Catholics voted almost 78% for JFK. Marco Rubio, Florida's new Senator, who I believe will someday be President, garnered 62% of the Latino vote in Florida. That was configured by 78% of the Cuban vote (Rubio is of Cuban descent.) and 40% of the non-Cuban Hispanic vote.
While Blacks were once Republican, I doubt we will see that again in any reader's lifetime. From their racist voting and their slavish submission to any Democrat candidate, I see no likelihood that Blacks will vote other than 90% for Obama's re-election. The Hispanic voters are similarly constituted. Were the Black and Brown voters reflective of their fellow citizens, Democrats could hardly win the race for the Dogpatch Dogcatcher's office.
It cannot be that those two blocs vote from superior base intelligence, high levels of critical thinking or a more advanced civic view. After all, we're talking about the two groups with lowest IQs, the least education and who commit more violent, serious crime than any other citizens. That's the folks who are the heart and soul of the Democrat party. Couple them with the union crowd and, together, you have the class act of American politics: criminals, welfare-kings and queens plus the public pension people. It is that slumgullion recipe which is joined and coddled by the liberal elite who rule them.
All of the above has arisen from the break-down of the Black family, the failure of the federal government to enforce immigration law and the anarchistic tendencies of elitists who believe they can manage the country and, indeed, the world as well.
But, irrespective of from whence it came, the Republicans are faced with the demographic realities. Where will they find voters? Certainly not from those people. Who's left?
Us.

The European Union
Having spent a dozen years in international business, mostly in Europe, and having had a home in Neuilly-sur-Seine at the edge of Paris, the current state of financial affairs is painful to watch as it has a more personal aspect. The notion of the European Union has never made sense to me when looked at from the individual's viewpoint. I never believed it would work. Last May (2010) I wrote that the EU would never work, something I have believed and said from its inception. Unfortunately, it appears that events are now proving that prediction to be correct.
Americans generally don't think much of 50-cycle nations; we tend to think of people who live on the continent of Europe as the same just as we tend to think Asians are alike because they look alike. Wrong. On all counts. A Finn is unlike an Italian who is unlike a Scotsman who is unlike an Austrian. That is not true of a Californian who is not unlike a Floridian who is not unlike a Vermonter who is not unlike an Oregonian. We, not they, are the same in language, customs and laws to recall Julius: they most assuredly are not. And the Chinese hate the Japanese who have no regard for the Thai and the Indians disrespect them all.
All of God's children are like that. They share one mark: one tribe dislikes all other tribes. Person by person is a dfferent deal but, in fact, tribes tend to live together. Look at big city ghettoes. They, everywhere, prove the point.

Left-hand Turns
No, this is not a diatribe about leftists or rightists turning left. It's road rage about left hand turns. Here in Los Angeles and I suspect nation-wide, making a left-hand turn at a busy intersection is a real hassle. Many turn a block or two before or after the intersection wending their circuituous route to somewhere. A friend from Salt Lake City once remarked that, when driving in LA, she never made a left-hand turn after Noon. FedEx and UPS routes are organized to avoid them to the extent possible as time and fuel wasters.
There isn't too much that can be done but there is at least one easy tactic which would help, though not cure, the issue: the first cars in the turn lane should nose out to the middle of the intersection so that more cars can make the turn before or as the light changes. Those who sit on the white line waiting for oncoming traffic to pass drive me nuts. If they'd only get out to the mid-point, it would help everyone.
Do not hold your breath. It's easier to cut the budget than change driver's habits, including mine I suppose.
