Young Turks Operative: "The Blacks" Will Vote 95% Again For "The Best Republican President Since Lincoln"

When a hypothetical is tossed up it is best to appraise its veracity by applying the author's arguments beyond their original confinements.

The one article penned by Tina Dupuy has been syndicated around the Progressive-Fundamentalist tangled web:


Ms Dupuy makes the case that Obama has earned the title because:
  • He Passed "Obamacare" Which has the same insurance coverage mandate that a few conservative organizations supported before they were opposed to it
  • He renewed the "Bush Tax Cuts For The Rich"
  • He cut taxes for 95% of all Americans - just like Republicans like
  • The government work force has been reduced on his watch
  • Despite running an International Coup in the African country of Libya - He has quelled the Anti-War protesters
  • He left Guantanamo Bay open for Terror Detainees put there by Bush (while killing new ones using drones in Afghanistan and Pakistan and Yemen and Libya and Somalia)
  • His EPA scrapped new mandates for clean air regulation

Again the best way to challenge Ms Dupuy's claims is to consider why Black voters - the most loyal Democratic Party base would ever vote for a "Black Republican".

The truth is that Ms Dupuy has listed a set of points of evidence of how "The Progressive-Establishment" has compromised itself so that its "Speaking Truth To Power" will not harm his reelection chances.

The silencing of the "Anti-War Coalition" is not because they have gained new consciousness.  They have shown that their past antics where ideological and political in spirit.   If the very same offenses - American Imperialism - triggers differentiated results then the indictment of RACISM that Ms Dupuy decries in her article should be paired with the rejection if IDEOLOGICAL BIGOTRY that Obama benefits from.
