Democrats Soul Search

The most popular sport since the election is to give the dems suggestions on how to improve their fortunes in coming elections. One idea I have not seen is for the party or someone who wants to lead the party to come out with a call for African Americans to heed the advice of Bill Cosby and insist that their young people apply themselves in school, quit making babies in adolescence with no marriage commitment, form two parent families to raise the children, and get rap and its filthy language out of the home. This message is widely resisted even when advanced by Bill Cosby, but it could be strengthened immeasureably if it was reinforced by the political party to which blacks give 90% of their votes. The party would be rewarded by getting a measure of admiration from those of us who see Democrats as shameless panderers to a collection of special interest groups which are more and more at odds with the majority of Americans. A similar approach could then be taken with the gays, the pro-abortion extremists, the unions (especially the teachers), and the trial lawyers.
