PRACTICAL Treason

Practical Treason
I have pointed out before that Republicans lost for decades pursuing the “minority vote.” Their rationale was that over forty percent of blacks voted for Ike in his 1952 and 1956 landslides, and over forty percent of Hispanics voted for Bush in his landslide reelection as governor of Texas. The key word here is “landslide.”
As a practical politico, I have seen the slips that black “leaders” pass out to tell their blacks how to vote. These slips are not passed out in obvious landslides. Only if the outcome is in doubt are the slips passed out, and then the black vote goes back to over 90% Democratic, as ordered.
One funny example of this was the Democratic senatorial primary in SC in 1966. Hollings wanted the black vote, but he wanted to be on record as NOT getting the black vote to beat the Republicans in the General Election. In SC the black vote was always measured by the percentage a candidate got in all-black Ward 9 in Columbia and the all-black ward also called Ward 9 in Charleston.
So the black leadership was instructed by Hollings to hand out slips to get their blacks to vote for his opponent in the two Ward 9s and to vote for Hollings in the rest of the state. They handed out the slips accordingly and the obedient blacks voted 9-1 against Hollings in the two Ward 9s and 9-1 for him elsewhere.
The old SLAVES should have been so obedient!
So Republicans used the old landslide figures and lost and lost and lost in their hopeless pursuit of the black vote.
The key word, as I said, is “landslide.”
McCain always votes with Republicans when an issue is decided. In cases like campaign finance reform or gun control, he takes the lead with Kennedy. He is far more important to the other side than one more standard liberal Democrat. McCain votes against all impossible gun control measures, but he joins with Kennedy in demanding outrageously expensive “smart” guns to keep working people from being armed.
McCain took the lead in the last drive for amnesty for illegal aliens, though he is publicly hard on border patrolling.
Respectable conservatives shout about abortion and stuff that is already decided. But William Buckley is the only national columnist who has publicly endorsed Europe’s Though Crime laws. Conservatives lead the lynch mob when liberals want it.
This is PRACTICAL treason, the kind that shouts how loyal it is and stabs you in the back.

The changes that the WWII and Baby Boom generations experienced were nothing in comparison to the changes that the 19th and early 20th century populations experienced.
This is never acknowledged as it is perennially fashionable to say, “the pace change is accelerating”, the opposite of the truth.
The advent of the Maxim machine gun in 1870s, for example, allowed a band of 40 white men with just six of these guns to conquer a major piece of the African continent in months. But we can’t mention that because it is just too embarrassing to blacks.
But regardless of the slowing of the pace of change, (it’s taken 40 years to get to high definition TV for crying out loud), the Internet is truly the big “buster”.
It has completed what the telegraph started and Mommy Professor is a done deal as a result. The college campus of today is as atavistic as it comes. It is hilarious to watch all the buffoons on campus reenact the “golden oldies” and take themselves seriously doing it.
I haven’t seen anything so hilarious since I watched Curly Howard do his “chicken with its head cut off” routine.
But let us not compare Curly Howard with Mommy Professor. Curly Howard was a true genius. Mommy Professor is a true buffoon.
