COLLECTIVE MADNESS


“Soft despotism is a term coined by Alexis de Tocqueville describing the state into which a country overrun by "a network of small complicated rules" might degrade. Soft despotism is different from despotism (also called 'hard despotism') in the sense that it is not obvious to the people."

"This battle for the soul of the Republican Party [is] between people who are actually interested in cutting the size of government and...an establishment that is more scared," says Reason Editor in Chief Matt Welch. "I think, right now, this is the national political story that is the most interesting."

    1. I backed the GOP efforts to make a smaller governemt for forty years.

      They failed at it time and again.
      Even their "Best", merely a 'New Dealer' retread, that exploded the debt.
      Their worse, madee Bill Clinton look like a fiscal conservative.

      The one Republican that really took a swipe at making government smaller, the House Republicans fired him.
      Joe Starbucks said it was because he was working closely with Bill Clinton, and the GOP couldn't have that.

      The Republican Party is a Big Governemt, Socialist Federal Party.

      Medicare Part B proves the point.

    Has the bell begun to toll for the GOP?

    The question arises while reading an analysis of Census Bureau statistics on the 2012 election by Dan Balz and Ted Mellnik.

    One sentence in their Washington Post story fairly leaps out:

    “The total number of white voters actually decreased between 2008 and 2012, the first such drop by any group within the population since the bureau started to issue such statistics.”

    America’s white majority, which accounts for nine in 10 of all Republican votes in presidential elections, is not only shrinking as a share of the electorate, but it is declining in numbers, as well.

    The Balz-Mellnik piece was primarily about the black vote.

    Sixty-six percent of the black electorate turned out, to 64 percent of the white electorate. Black turnout in 2012 was higher by 1.7 million than in 2008. Hispanic turnout rose by 1.4 million votes.

    But from 2008 to 2012, the white vote fell by 2 million.

    This is the crisis of the Grand Old Party:

    Minorities, peoples of color — Hispanic, black, Asian — gave 80 percent of their votes to Obama. And while the minorities’ share of the electorate was 26 percent in 2012, minorities constitute 36.3 percent of the population. And their share of both the electorate and the population is inexorably rising.

    Obama won only 39 percent of White America, lowest ever of any victorious presidential candidate. But he did not need any more white votes, when he was carrying people of color 4 to 1.


    Any good news in the Census Bureau report for the GOP?

    Only this: The tremendous turnout of black Americans in 2012 was surely due to Obama’s being under ferocious attack and in peril of being repudiated. Black folks turned out in record numbers to rescue the first black president. That situation will not recur in 2016.

    Yet the bad news for the Republican Party does not cease.

    While the total Hispanic vote rose by 1.4 million between 2008 and 2012, some 12 million eligible Hispanics did not bother to vote. And when one considers that Romney lost Hispanics 71-27, any Democratic effort to get out the Hispanic vote is going to be problematic for the GOP.

    Only 48 percent of eligible Asians voted. But when they did, they went 70 percent Democratic. Asians’ numbers, too, are growing, and as more go to the polls, the GOP crisis deepens.

    The Republican response to this gathering disaster?

    Led by Sens. Marco Rubio, John McCain and Lindsey Graham, Republicans are pushing for amnesty and “a path to citizenship” for the 11 to 12 million illegal aliens in the country today.

    Who are these folks? Perhaps half are Hispanic, but 90 percent are people of color who, once registered, vote 4-to-1 Democratic. One would not be surprised to hear that the Senate Democratic Caucus had broken out into chants of “Go, Marco, Go!”

    Setting aside the illegals invasion Bush 41 and Bush 43 refused to halt, each year a million new immigrants enter and move onto a fast track to citizenship. Between 80 and 90 percent now come from the Third World, and once naturalized, they vote 80 percent Democratic.

    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 in 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.

    1. The "Best" path for the GOP to take, on those in the country without proper documentation ...

      A pathway to legal residency, not citizenship, should be their course.

      A pathway that is easy to travel and inviting.

      Then use the IRS to crack down on the illegals using the same SS numbers in multiple locations. closing the cracks in the E-Verify system. Deport those that do not register for the "Pathway to Residency".

      If ending illegal border crossing and the undocumented already here is the issue.

    2. Demand that every resident carry a Federal ID card, at all times.
      For instant "Verification of Status" checks, by Local, State, and Federal police.

      If having the undocumented amongst US is a problem, make sure everyone has their proper papers, or deport/exile them.

      Setting up ID checks in public areas would then sweep the streets of the undocumented ... and ...
      those with wants or warrants.

      If you have changed the name of your blog to "The Libertarian" but do not hold to an open borders position, there is a stark cognitive dissonance. It is a fundamental principle of libertarianism (and I have always been that way inclined) that labor is a commodity, and immigration controls are essentially an artificial regulation of that commodity, much like a tariff.

  6. Tea party has had it with GOP

    By Joe Hallett
    The Columbus Dispatch Monday May 6, 2013 10:09 AM


    Feeling betrayed by the Republican Party and its leaders, tea party groups in Ohio appear to be uniting and moving toward either a split from the GOP or action to punish Republican candidates who fail ideological purity tests.

    A series of events, culminating with the April 26 election of Matt Borges as chairman of the Ohio Republican Party, spurred a flurry of meetings and conference calls among tea party leaders last week to plot a course of action heading into the 2014 statewide election.

    Options being discussed, according to Seth Morgan, policy director for Americans for Prosperity, range from breaking off into “a third party, to an insurrection (within the Republican Party) and everything in between.”

    Tom Zawistowski, executive director of the Portage County Tea Party who lost his bid for the Ohio GOP chairmanship by a 48-7 vote of the party’s state central committee, met on Saturday with Don Shrader, chairman of the Constitution Party of Ohio, to explore uniting in a party committed more to principles than winning elections.

    After the chairmanship vote, Zawistowski said he made it clear that if the state GOP did not focus on enacting conservative policies, “we would either find a political party to join or we would start one of our own,” saying his meeting with Shrader “is the first step in that process.”

  7. Murder, no problem as long as it is with a knife and not a gun and the victim has no name.

    The public is ignoring the sensational Philadelphia murder trial of abortionist Kermit Gosnell, despite increased coverage by the mainstream media prompted by criticism from conservative groups, making it one of the least followed stories in Gallup poll history.

    What's more, even among those closely following the trial and extended jury deliberations which could conclude today, just 46 percent want more coverage while 47 percent believe the media is providing enough or too much coverage.

    The Gallup poll of 1,535 conducted over five days is likely to come as a shock to conservatives who succeeded in pushing the media into covering the trial more. Gallup found that just 7 percent of the public is following the case "very closely" and 54 percent "not at all."

  8. The explanation, by the IRS for auditing those "Tea Party" and "Patriot" organizations makes sense, but ...

    It was not criminal activity they were checking on, but the funding levels for the political activities of those groups.
    Per their Congressional mandate.

    If you are going to regulate political funding, you have to watch those engaged in politics, that want tax exempt status. That is the law and the IRS mandate from Congress.

    ,,, the episode has even further sensitized the IRS to avoiding even the appearance of political decision making. Lerner made her apology at a meeting of the American Bar Association's exempt organization committee in Washington Friday.

    Suzanne Ross McDowell, a partner with Steptoe & Johnson who heads that committee, said the IRS has been inundated with new applications for tax-exempt organizations ever since the U.S. Supreme Court decided in 2010 to allow direct corporate and union spending on independent political advertising.

    "But there is a lot of uncertainty about how you draw the line between intervention in a political campaign, and other activities that are not intervention in a political campaign, such as issue advocacy," she said.

    "These are very tough questions, and I don't think any of us have the answer."

    Richard Briffault, a campaign-finance expert at Columbia Law School, said the IRS has a legitimate responsibility to examine whether organizations that receive tax protections have appropriately limited their political activity. But, as nonprofits proliferate, the agency has been pressured to play a larger role in helping to uncover donors who critics say choose to fund social-welfare groups just to hide their political contributions.

    "If Congress were to develop more effective rules for campaign-finance disclosure … some of this problem would go away," Briffault said. "That doesn't look like it's happening any time soon."

      The Tiananmen Square protests of 1989, also known as the June Fourth Incident in Chinese,[1] were student-led popular demonstrations in Beijing in the spring of 1989 that received broad support from city residents and exposed deep splits within China's political leadership but were forcibly suppressed by hardline leaders who ordered the military to enforce martial law in the country's capital.[2][3] The crackdown that initiated on June 3–4 became known as the Tiananmen Square Massacre or the June 4 Massacre as troops with assault rifles and tanks inflicted thousands of casualties on unarmed civilians trying to block the military’s advance on Tiananmen Square in the heart of Beijing, which student demonstrators had occupied for seven weeks. The scale of military mobilization and the resulting bloodshed were unprecedented in the history of Beijing, a city with a rich tradition of popular protests in the 20th century.[4] Diplomatic cables released by Wikileaks though appear to confirm the Chinese authorities' longstanding position that no students were killed in the Square itself.[5]<
