I’m pretty sure that just about anyone with a brain would have very little trouble when it comes to recognizing, faux journalist, Juan Williams for exactly what he is. Which is, of course, just another one of those rabid anti-America, leftwing nutjobs, who is at the very same time one of the more vocal Obama apologists who, apparently, sees the inner racist hiding within every Republican that he meets. And what I’m also quite sure of is that everyone knows he’s never been the least bit hesitant about taking racial potshots at members of the GOP.
And now, according to old Juan, the Republican Party is in what he calls a "deep racial and political hole" due primarily to its positions on both immigration and its attitudes regarding the impeachment of his buddy Barry. And also according to him, addressing the party's "crisis on race" is now necessary for the party's long-term survival. But the fact of that matter is that Williams is one more in a rather large crowd of blacks who is far more hung up on race than they are worried about the survival of our country.
It was in his opinion piece for The Wall Street Journal that Williams did his best to compare the challenges of today's Republican Party to the Democrats' internal party struggle back in the 1960s when civil rights activists sought representation at party conventions in the face of opposition by white Southerners from their own party. Personally, I don’t see how this comparison of his really makes all much sense. Republicans have always been the party of racial equality while the Democrats have essentially remained the party of slavery.
Williams wrote, "Today the GOP has become a nearly all-white party as the white share of the vote is declining. In 2012, the white share of the total vote was just 72 percent, the lowest in U.S. history. That trend is making the GOP's prospects in national and even statewide elections increasingly bleak." So, I can only guess that what he’s trying to get at here is that the party, if it wishes to win elections into the future, will have to lower its standards in order to attract those voters who might have some weird proclivity to vote for Democrats.
He also made note that in the aftermath of Mitt Romney's defeat, the GOP vowed to analyze its losses in the context of demographics, but the party has since alienated Latino voters with its position on immigration. So I’m guessing that demanding people to simply follow our laws is what alienates Latinos? If you follow that logic, according to this political genius, the only way to appease Latinos would be to simply grant amnesty to all those in this country illegally. Well if that’s the position of Latinos then I’d say they’ve alienated themselves.
Williams acknowledged a recent study that suggested race is not a short-term problem for the GOP's electoral prospects because whites are increasingly loyal to the Republican Party, but he contends that the party must begin to appeal to minorities now if it is to survive over the longer term. Which Democrat outfit conducted that study? Anyway, how exactly does Juan propose that that be done? By embracing the position, currently held by the Democrats, that no longer does anyone need to work, and that we can all just happily live off the government?
Williams wrote, "Long term, as the minority population continues to increase, the GOP risks becoming a political afterthought in elections unless it can improve its appeal to minority voters. Romney won 59 percent of the white vote, close to the high of 63 percent set by Ronald Reagan in 1984, but lost the election." But apart from the many dead, and any number of pets, that might have voted for Barry, the most important issue in this last elections for blacks, was simply to vote for the black guy. And how well has that worked out for them, exactly?
Williams said, "This year Republicans hope higher voter intensity among their white supporters will lead to an overall turnout advantage and compensate for their poor performance with minority voters. But at some point soon the GOP is going to face a version of the 1964 crisis that forced Democrats to become more racially diverse." More racially diverse? What the Hell is he talking about? Democrats bought the black vote, and blacks essentially sold their souls for the price of a government check. And today we find them right where they were 50 years ago.
He concluded by saying, "The sooner the GOP understands this and adjusts accordingly, the sooner it will be seen as a party of the future and not a party of the past." You know, little of what Williams says really makes all that much sense. What keeps blacks from joining the Republican Party is that expectations are a little higher here. We expect folks to be responsible members of society whereas the Democrat Party has no such expectations. Blacks prefer the party of ‘free’ government giveaways with no strings attached.
So Williams can claim all he wants that the reason blacks avoid the Republican Party is all the fault of the party, but the reality is that the fault lies with those to reside in the black community. Because for them what’s most important is the receiving of that ‘benefit’ check, it matters not to them that it comes at the expense of their freedom. Williams misses the point that apparently the ‘need’ to remain a slave, in one form or another, is simply in their blood. All he’s doing is to make excuses for his fellow blacks. It’s all pretty sad.
Blacks have proven tine and again that they are their own worst enemy. And the more time they waste listening to idiots like Williams and ignoring men like Allen West and Tim Scott, to name only two, the more likely it is that they’ll remain right where they are. The choice to make a change lies directly with them and not the Republican Party. We in the GOP will be waiting here to greet them with arms wide open. But we are not going to beg them to join our ranks, they can join us and be part of the solution, or they can continue to be a big part of the problem.
