Revolution, indeed:
Two African-American Democrats on Thursday announced that they were joining the Republican Party.
Hall County Commissioner Ashley Bell and former state executive committee member Andre Walker said the Democratic Party had grown too liberal and they are finding a new home with the Republicans…
It must be understood that on social issues, African-Americans are at least as conservative as most Republicans. On economic issues there might be more of an emphasis on what government can do to help – something not necessarily opposed by Republicans, depending on circumstances and the programs in question – but there is plenty of things to agree upon. This is also true with Americans of hispanic ancestry.
Does this mean the GOP will win a majority of black votes in 2012? Of course not – but if we can even win the support of 20% of African-Americans it will constitute a political revolution. So many Democrats at the State and federal level are dependent upon a huge black turnout going 90% or better Democrat that even a relatively small shift here would be devastating for the Democrat party. And, in the end, I do believe that we can compete for a majority of black votes. That will be the task for a generation of hard work, but it can be done.
Watch out, Democrats – your efforts to divide and conquer the American people; your efforts to split us along racial lines, are starting to fail. Your hour has struck – and unless you change your ways, you are doomed.
