Time For The Republcans to Play Identity Politics: David Horowitz Has Some Advice

The Daily Caller has David Horowitz's message for Republicans: it's time to join the battle on identity politics:

Over the last fifty years the Democrats have trapped tens of millions of poor black and Hispanic children in schools that don’t teach them, because they are run for the benefit teachers unions and to fill the Democrats’ slush funds. Democrats have condemned these children to lives of poverty and hopelessness. But Republicans are too polite to mention it.

And women? Over the last fifty years, Democrat-designed welfare programs have seduced single mothers into accepting a support system that destroys their incentives to better themselves and condemns them to lives of permanent poverty as members of the underclass. A free apartment, free food, and a monthly stipend would kill almost anybody’s incentive to seek out the vast opportunities that America affords its free citizens.

For fifty years and more Democrats have exercised monopoly control over America’s large inner cities, some of which, like Detroit are 85 percent African American, and all of which are centers of poverty and violent crime. The president’s own city, Chicago, is among them. Everything that is wrong with the inner cities of America that policy can affect, Democrats are responsible for. But Republicans are too polite to mention it.

Republicans need to understand that the political battle is a moral battle. The Democratic Party is a racist party whose bootheel is on the necks of poor black and Hispanic children and their parents across this nation.

The Democratic Party is also anti-freedom. It has spent the last six years ramming through a government program that takes away the individual’s ability to choose his or her health care. The government says you can only choose from our plans, and if you have played by the rules and worked hard and earned a reasonable income we are going to stick our hands in your pocket and subsidize somebody who hasn’t. Obamacare is the most anti-American idea imposed on this nation since the end of slavery, and yet every Democrat is behind it.

Mike Tyson once said, “Everyone has a game plan until you punch them in the mouth.” The Democrats’ lie that Republicans are conducting wars against women, minorities and the poor, is their punch in the mouth. What do Republicans have? They have no punch in the mouth because they are focused on policy rather than politics. If a voter sees you as a racist he is not going to weigh your policy recommendations in a fair-minded manner. Republicans need to punch Democrats in the mouth by using a moral language to describe the atrocities they have committed against minorities and the poor. But they are probably too polite to do so.

Just a reminder to the Republican bigwigs. Is Barack Obama the biggest "Uncle Tom" in America today?
