Message: Entry: Obama is Right Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/obama_is_right#24073 Post contents: Obama and the Liberal/neo-Marxist Left has been blaming Republican electoral success on what they call “wedge issues”…the “God, Guns and Gays” issues, and frustrated for years that working class whites have been “voting against their economic interests”---according to them, since Nixon and Reagan. What Obama is doing is dismissing white working class resentment as mere “wedge issues” instead of understanding that the Left/Democrat Party/Liberals have been pushing things like racial preferences and unrestrained immigration, and the whole Alan Greenspan/Corporate Outsourcing/Globalization/Wall Street economic agenda--which white working class folks know by experience is also “against their economic interests”. But anyone with any objectivity must agree that the Republicans/Conservatives have been pandering to these resentments just as much as the Democrats/Liberals have been pandering to Black racial resentments to get votes. So neither the Republicans/Conservatives or the Democrats/liberals/neo-Marxists are really innocent on this score. Both pursue electoral success without offering any substantial differences on populist economic concerns Sent at: 2008 11 23
