Race In America: Requiem For A Grand Old Party

This brings us back around to the Electoral College.

After Richard Nixon cobbled together his New Majority, the GOP carried 49 states in 1972 and 1984, 44 states in 1980 and 40 in 1988. In four elections � 1972, 1984, 1988 and 2004 � the Republican Party swept all 11 states of FDR�s �Solid South.�

Such were the fruits of that evil Southern Strategy.

But when conservatives urged Bush 1 to declare a moratorium on legal immigration in 1992 and build a security fence, the politically correct Republican establishment fought tooth and nail to keep the idea out of the platform.

So, where are we?

Eighteen states, including four of the seven mega-states � California, New York, Illinois and Pennsylvania � have gone Democratic in six straight elections. Two others, Florida and Ohio, have gone Democratic twice in a row. And white folks are now a minority in the last mega-state, Texas.

In Ohio, which produced seven Republican presidents, more than any other state, Republicans are dropping out, and may be dying out.

�Eight years ago, blacks and whites voted at about the same rate (in Ohio),� write Balz and Mellnik. In 2008, �the participation rate for whites dropped to 65 percent, while the rate for blacks rose to 70 percent. Last November, the turnout rate among whites fell to 62 percent, while the rate for blacks ticked up to 72 percent.�

From these Census figures, white folks are losing interest in politics and voting. Yet, whites still constitute three-fourths of the electorate and nine in 10 Republican votes.

Query: Is the way to increase the enthusiasm and turnout among this three-fourths of the electorate for the GOP to embrace amnesty and a path to citizenship for 12 million illegal foreign aliens?

Or is it to demand the sealing of America�s borders against any and all intruders?

Just asking.

The above is the conclusion to his article.

Judging by the amount of time he spent talking about the Southern Strategy that he helped create, it looks like he is saying it's time to forego the GOP outreach to minorities approach and whip up the whites using border security as a wedge issue. Considering the backlash against that Heritage/Richwine fiasco of late last week, Buchanan's indirectly stated advice may be the only way forward.

There are some very interesting comments following Buchanan's article.

From just the first few...

"The South has a long memory, and many of us still remember.

The GOP must be destroyed. This is the beginning of all conservative political wisdom in the United States."

"When civilizations reach the point that "progressives"(those who gain power by making people dependant on them) are in charge, one of the only things that can fix that is putting an autocrat in power with completely opposite political views.
Anotherwords it is more likely a nationalist in the veign of Putin will fix this country, than it is that everyone will suddenly want to return to the constitution and being a moral and religious people."

"it is only when the productive and responsible capitalists have created so much prosperity that the resentful parasites have the luxury to resent the capitalists who provide them their lifestyle."

"Hans Hoppe composed the requiem for all political parties in his Idea of a Private Law Society."

"In the long run, it is true that demographic change spells trouble for the GOP. Whites need white identity politics. The Democratic Party already engages in identity politics for nonwhites and feminists, but neither party does this for whites. This has to change. If the GOP wants to get on the right side of history it will lead the way by embracing white identity politics."

The impact of race and changing demographics continue to be the underlying discussion of politics in America. Obama and the 2008 and 2012 elections are just the most recent chapter.

The Republican Party has had success using wedge issues such as Willie Horton and Gay marriage in the past.

My guess is that they will find a new theme to rally voters to their cause.

I don't know what it is but no doubt they are sample testing various themes as we speak.

[Ya-ta Boy]

I have no doubt you are right about that.

In addition to Buchanan's doubling down on race baiting, I would think another wedge issue will be state nullification of gun laws: see Kansas, Montana, Missouri among others.

The proper coalition that the Republican's should have will never be brought about because The War Party and Globalization Inc. will always maintain their hold on both parties and torpedo any attempt to ditch either of those two agendas.

I've always been a huge fan of Pat Buchanan and other Amconmag types like William S. Lind and of course, Ron Paul. But the sad truth is that the powers that be will never let us bring our boys home, seal our border, and do something to encourage America's manufacturing base (unless they can profit off of it).

I don't know kuros. With what is said about modern ethnicities being the result of mixing with different groups of archaic sapiens, it looks likely to me that skyrim is a better analogy than the stuff that anthropology profs were teaching back when I was in uni. Looks like regionalists won, and the world is a weirder, wilder place than we had expected.
