It’s 2009.<\/p>\n

Barack Obama is president – elected in part by a biblical wave of support from black voters and novelty in the general election, and identity-mongering in the primaries.<\/p>\n

You’re a Democrat strategist, planning ahead to the next two elections. \u00a0You need to keep women – Hillary Clinton voters – engaged enough to vote for Obama again in four years. \u00a0Child’s play; engineered a fake “war on women” and assign the media to run it. \u00a0Which they will. \u00a0They always do what you tell them. \u00a0It doesn’t always work – NPR was trying to make “Occupy” a thing for a solid year after the last rat-infested rape camp was carted to the landfill – but often enough, it gets the ignorant riled up enough to move the dial.<\/p>\n

But look ahead four more years. \u00a0Obama will be termed out. \u00a0The Democrat bench is painfully shallow; the buffoon Biden, Fauxcahontas, the photogenic failure Martin O’Malley, and a few other governors that (you can’t possibly know or believe, yet) will be turned out of office next year…and the donkey in the room, the\u00a0inevitable\u00a0<\/em>Hillary Clinton.<\/p>\n

Who you gonna call?<\/p>\n

Of\u00a0course\u00a0<\/em>Hillary’s the front-runner. \u00a0She’s been painstakingly grooming herself and building a machine since 1998; but for the tsunami of identity that carried the freshman Senator Obama into office, she’d likely have already been president already.<\/p>\n

But –\u00a0but<\/em>, you think she’s going to be like 200 years old in 2016.<\/p>\n

So how do you get a tsunami of African-Americans to turn out in the same kind of numbers for a geriatric honky?<\/p>\n

Create a race relations crisis<\/a>, and send the order down the chain of command to the mainstream media to create a national issue of it. \u00a0Then, exploit it with a presidential campaign that was about virtually nothing but identity politics.<\/p>\n

Well, as re the crisis, it’s mission accomplished:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Unfortunately (for Hillary), the relentless identity-mongering backfired, turning blue-collar honkies into an identity group in its own right.<\/p>\n

And so today we have Hillary still out of office, a lingering race relations crisis that’s killing hundreds of people a year in our inner cities…<\/p>\n

…and a media awaiting orders for the next national politically-based squirrel chase.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
