This has been the Democratic Alliance since 1968 or so, repudiating the old New Deal alliance which centered on the Unions and then moved outward. In other words Dems became Yuppies shopping at Trader Joes and listening to NPR in their upscale Volvos or BMWs. "Reagan Democrats" i.e. white union members who had it up to here with Yuppie Dems were the first to defect.<BR/><BR/>Can Republicans pick up Black voters to threaten control of parts of the South? It's clear that Dems have the lock on white yuppie voters. But as Blacks are more threatened by Hispanic advances which will marginalize them and eliminate the usual route for upward mobility (government patronage jobs, Affirmative Action, etc.) can they be picked up by the GOP? Possibly. Republicans are certainly trying (Lynn Swann, Michael Steele). And Dems are waving the bloody shirt (Jena 6, etc.) to enforce racial solidarity with Dems.<BR/><BR/>What if a conservative Republican stumped for votes on the open platform of faction-alliances between working class whites (mostly union members), Blacks, and Law-and-Order culturally conservative people? Explicitly promising to preserve Black political patronage in government and Affirmative Action at the expense of Latinos? Depending on the area and the degree of threat, he just might win. I certainly expect it places like Atlanta, or Dallas, or even Charleston where such a hypothetical candidate could point out that yuppie whites will inevitably replace the Black population with a Mexican one. Call it "Son of George Wallace." Little known is the second career of the segregationist who after being shot underwent a religious experience and openly campaigned on a working white-Black alliance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-8271482827052762362007-11-15T05:44:00.000-08:002007-11-15T05:44:00.000-08:00But I thought diversity was our greatest strength....But I thought diversity was our greatest strength.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-57318388803686275782007-11-14T22:49:00.000-08:002007-11-14T22:49:00.000-08:00Those who walked out included Guadalupe Aguiar, on...<I>Those who walked out included Guadalupe Aguiar, one of the parents who felt that Fonseca was treated unfairly, especially because Friday was the last meeting before new elections.

Some in the audience objected..."<BR/><BR/>"Later, though, on one motion, an impatient Fonseca tried to shut down public comment. "I will not allow members of the public to speak," he said."<BR/><BR/>"Later, Fonseca ruled that a two-thirds vote would be needed to censure him. The district's lawyer, John Walsh, disagreed, but Fonseca spoke out again and again: "Two-thirds! Two-thirds! Two-thirds!"<BR/><BR/>This is a textbook case of the Petty People with Power Syndrome. I won't make the racist comment that Fonseca runs things like any other Latin American dictator, oops. I'm laughing and crying simultaneously. <BR/><BR/>This guy is not one of a kind. I'm starting to get flashbacks of a 1000 page + history text about frequent assassinations of Latin America leaders who are replaced by guys who think and act just like the guy they knocked off to gain power. That and one about Salvador Allende are blended together in my memory like a stream of consciousness novel. I'm sure to have dreams of Castro, Vicente Fox and Alberto Gonzales tonight. <BR/><BR/>How many decades before the Reconquista is complete?
