2014 - Angry White Guys' Swan Song?

Pass me an apple please,

 

You're an Englishman. You simply don't have the standing to comprehend the question of American identity. It's presumptuous of you. You don't understand Americans any more than you understand the Chinese.

 

We try to be like other nations, we try to be like conforming to the standards of western civilization, but when the lands beyond the seas to the east are called the west, and the lands beyond the seas to the west are called the east, don't blame us for your confusion.

 

.............and yet here you are............

 

are you claiming everyone who professes NOT to be gay, really are? go post this crap in another section. Unless you are intentionally sexually harassing the rest of the participants in this thread.

 

Use the Reply With Quote feature so people know who you're talking to. It makes looking at posts quickly much easier. Thanks.

 

2014 will be the last fetid gasp for the Angry White Guys.

 

Young Americans need to pay for the Social Security and Medicare benefits of old white people who detest them. According to existing law there is nothing that need be done to ensure that the young are enslaved to the old. Maintenance of the status quo is all that is needed to break the USA.

The Baby Boom Generation is the largest in American history. Eighty million strong. We will suck the life out of the young for the next thirty years. And nothing can be done about it.

 

a blog???/really???? hahahahahahaha wot a source for dependable news....and just what is an angry white guy? That sounds almost racist the way you use it.....suffering a bit of white guilt there?

 

Guns or no guns....your "revolution" will never get started. Though that won't stop you from claiming for DECADES to come that it is "imminent". Just prepare yourself for a blogging life ....full of disappointment and mockery.

 

The RNC also seems to think Latinos...can't read blog postings or listen to Talk Radio. All the "Rubio as Nominee" and "Look! Look! We supported immigration reform"....isn't going to fool Latinos when they read the posts of some of racists clearly in the GOP or hear the "subtle codewords" on Limbaugh, Beck, "Savage", etc.

 

I'm close to death. In that context your words have zero impact.

I like the idea of the Chinese beating New Amerika to death. Surely you understand that the Han Chinese have a level of confidence, education and social cohesion that a deeply divided New Amerika can't replicate. The future is not Amerikan. You will live a diminished life. So will most people in your generation. I'm feeling schadenfreude at your predicament.

Payroll withholding on your salary and wages pays for my beer and pizza. I love you man.

 

Oh, really?

I don't "detest" young Americans. I DO detest destructive and selfish people who refuse to face reality.

 

On the bright side though, there is a light at the end of that 30 year tunnel.... when the boomer generation is gone along with all of it's hypocrisies and corruption.

 

Theoretically you are right. But if you study history you will notice that the course of events does not follow a straight line trajectory.

The flaw in your analysis is that it assumes a steady state of economic, educational, military, social and political equilibrium.

A steady state of equilibrium won't exist because the New Amerikans aren't well educated and don't have an industrial base as America once had. The industrial base is in China now.

Because of their poor state of education and lack of skills the New Amerikans won't qualify for information economy jobs.

New Amerika is moving down the international economic food chain. It's really going to suck for young people who will never be able to reach their parents' standard of living.

 

Well, I disagree that Americans aren't well educated and don't have any skills.


That Americans are pathetic sheep being lead to slaughter doesn't mean they aren't educated.

My conclusion is based on the concept that the old guard full of racism, greed and corruption will eventually die out to be replace by a more enlightened population unspoiled by the success of the previous generation.

At one time in my youth I thought maybe even my generation would break the mold...but then greed got in the way.

...and for those, today who aren't in the top 2%, it's becoming more of a struggle to stay afloat. Here's the success they're going to inherit, all governed by socialism. Welcome to the New Amerika

 

By all means elaborate on the basic facts which support your conclusion which contravenes my own.

I think there is an internal inconsistency in your sentence appearing immediately above.

You're stating facts not in evidence. Set forth your evidence.

China's going to each Uncle Sam's lunch. In the process young Amerikans are in for a life of diminished expectations. I point to the most recent OECD PISA test results.

The entire world is against Uncle Sam, and now he faces internal enemies. That's a problem for Uncle Sam.

The New Amerika will produce winners and losers. Do you deny that? The losers will want your ass.

 

He asked about "angry" black people, not bat crap crazy.

 

There is a quick fix for that. It's called the inheritance tax.

Couple that with a more sharply graduated income tax, with no differentiation between wages and cap gains and a staggering tariff on stuff that we have the capacity to make here and it is all fixed.

 

He did at least until a no talent hack rich with daddy's money who never before set foot in the district beat him with our of state superpac money and a credo pax goon squad that flew into town and staged paid protests at every Allen west meeting.

 

Rather than reflecting the diversity of Americans and broadening their national appeal, as things are shaping up, the GOP appears to be going with the short-term 2014-as-Last-Hurrah-Swan-Song-of-the-Angry-White-Guys strategy.

Percentage of electorate that is white and does not have a college degree:

West Virginia: 62%

South Dakota: 53%

Montana: 52%

Kansas: 50%

Alaska: 45%

North Carolina: 41%

Louisiana: 38%

.

 

This Pander-to-the-Angry-White-Guy strategy could well be life support for the GOP in 2014, even though it constitutes a long-term death wish.

As I had mentioned, a Democratic Senator was elected in California in 2012 with 7,748,994 votes, a Republican in Wyoming with 184,531 votes. One gets forty-two times the numer of votes of Americans, yet each counts, equally, as one Senator of the 100 in calculating the majority that will control.

Concentrating on less populous states with overwhelmingly white, non-college-educated electorates with anonymous rightist rich guys financing the campaigns is a viable strategy for capturing the Senate, even if the popular vote nationally goes overwhelmingly against them.

 

Where did you get these numbers?

62% of the white people in Louisiana have college degrees?

Are you for real?



According to the 2010 Census Data the percentage of whites over 25 with college degrees (4 year or more) is about 30% nationwide.
