It\u2019s from last week. This is about more minorities are now being born in America than whites, and the media is thrilled about it. But I have to mention this. The black population in this country has recently declined from 13% to 12%. We never hear about that for some reason. We\u2019re never told that their desires should consequently be ignored. But here we have a story, Republican voters: white, aging, and dying off, and part of the story is that they should be paid less attention to. They\u2019re not the power they once were so we don\u2019t need to pay nearly as much attention. But the black population is down to 12% from 13% and there\u2019s no correlating similar statement.<\/p>\n<p>But it is clear that this, and other similar stories like this, are meant to serve as a warning to Republicans and conservatives. And the warning is: You are on the wrong side of history. And you are on the wrong side of demographics. You better do what the coming majority wants right now, or you\u2019re gonna suffer the consequences. There is an implied threat in this story. You\u2019re getting older. You\u2019re white and you\u2019re dying off. Pretty soon you\u2019re gonna find out what it\u2019s been like to not be you. That\u2019s the implication of the story. You\u2019ve been the majority for all these decades, all these generations, but your time is coming when you\u2019re gonna be the minorities and there\u2019s gonna be people with majority power over you. So you better learn right. You better change your ways. You better get with the program so that everybody likes you. Otherwise it\u2019s gonna be really, really hard on you, or you will suffer the consequences.<\/p>\n<p>This prints out to three pages. I\u2019m not gonna read the whole thing to you, but that\u2019s the implication here. Why do the story otherwise? The CNN article even spells it out for us. Quote: &#8220;The coming political revolution could result in a massive changing of the guard on nearly every level of government, potential cultural clashes, and the type of political alliances that are now considered rare.&#8221; So, once again it\u2019s an attempt here to take on the majority as some evil &#8212; the ruling class in this country now, the Obamaites, they believe the country was founded unjustly, that it was founded by the 1% for the 1%, that it\u2019s never worked, Obama said that, quote, unquote. This country has never worked. Now it\u2019s time to transform it. And part of that\u2019s payback. Part of it is payback because this evil white majority has arranged things so they get all the spoils, and then whatever they don\u2019t want is what gets handed down. Those days are about over, and the big change is coming.<\/p>\n<p>So, how to head it off? Well, the Republicans, you aging, white, dying-off Republicans, better get behind amnesty. This is the first thing you could do. If you want to be loved, if you want to be treated well when you become a minority, just get behind amnesty for illegal immigrants. You don\u2019t want to wiped out as a political party, you Republicans, you better get behind amnesty. All this is an implied threat here to the Republicans. Your voters are dying off, and if you want to remain in the majority, you better change who you are.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: From CNN: &#8220;When presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney appears before Latino small business owners in Washington on Wednesday, he\u2019ll address a group whose explosive birth rates foreshadow a seismic political shift in GOP strongholds in the Deep South and Southwest. &#8216;The Republicans\u2019 problem is their voters are white, aging and dying off,\u2019 said [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 -
