Receding Roar of White America

Normally I do not have a lot of use for David Brooks but he has been known to be spot-on on many occasions.
This is one of them:

I was also struck, as in New Hampshire and Iowa, by the mood of this year’s rallies. Republican audiences this year want a restoration. America once had strong values, they believe, but we have gone astray. We’ve got to go back and rediscover what we had. Heads nod enthusiastically every time a candidate touches this theme.I agree with the sentiment, but it makes for an incredibly backward-looking campaign. I sometimes wonder if the Republican Party has become the receding roar of white America as it pines for a way of life that will never return.

Oh we have strong values today, alright:  Greed and selfishness.  Yes, they have always been with us but not so near the surface as they are these days.  Thank Reagan for starting that.

One of the things I llike to rub in conservatives' faces is the fact that by the middle of this century, the white race will be in the minority in this country.  Suck on that!
