Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

The Upside Down

Holy crap.

Read this and tell me if you can believe your eyes.

To some degree Carlson and even Coulter are simply diagnosing a problem that liberals and leftists have been screaming about for decades.  Unsurprisingly, they aren't really big on solutions.

But I think it's important that more and more voices are agreeing on the consensus that late 20th-early 21st century capitalism is failing a substantial number of Americans.  They may disagree on how to solve it, but the first step is admitting there is a problem.  Yes, they ignored the effects of poverty on minorities, and they are only paying attention because now it's white people who are suffering.  But who cares, as long as they begin to admit that African Americans are poor because of economic conditions.
