Democrats Obsessed With Race, GenderAt the start of his campaign, Barack Obama stated that he
believed that America was "ready" to consider an African-American for the presidency. America may be ready, but is the Democratic Party ready?
As
noted previously on this blog, the Democrats are obsessed with matters of race and gender. Plain white guy John Edwards exited the race "so history can be made.." All the pundits are busy examining the exit polls, separating Democrat voters into groups such as "blacks," "Hispanics," single mothers" and "blue-collar white males." Compare that with the Republican exit polls. The GOP is primarily examined in terms of "Evangelicals," "Conservatives," "security voters" and other politically-oriented classes.
I don't like these sorts of divisions, but cable news has to fill 24 hours.
The Left, however, only sees the world in terms of race and gender (even their class warfare is couched in racial language). To the Left we are nothing more that a member of some group over which we have little or no control. Even for those groups over which we do have choice (religion, etc.) the Left still reduces us to simplistic "voting blocs." They are thoroughly sexist, racist, ethnicist and any other "ist" you can imagine (Marxist?). That is not an empty charge. Define any of those terms and then turn on cable news
and listen to the Dems.
Defining individuals by their sex, race or ethnicity is what they do. Sexists, racists and ethnicists are what they are.
