Retreat, Redistribution, Regulation, Racialism

The declining popularity of President Obama and his handling of both domestic and foreign affairs has for a while now fueled either hopeful or fearful memories of 1994, when the Republicans took over Congress. A better comparison might be to 1884, when the Democrats were largely done in by a devastating slogan that branded them as the party of ?Rum, Romanism, and Rebellion.?

In A Cold-Blooded Foreign Policy
in yesterday?s Wall Street Journal, Fouad Ajami writes:

With year one drawing to a close, the truth of the Obama presidency is laid bare: retrenchment abroad, and redistribution and the intrusive regulatory state at home. This is the genuine calling of Barack Obama, and of the ?progressives? holding him to account.

So, on to the slogan. How about: Retreat Abroad, Redistribution at home, and Regulation everywhere. Or even better, Retreat, Redistribution, Regulation, and Racialism.

Forget about Justice ?Wise Latina? and an Attorney General who thinks Americans are cowards because they don?t agree with his race nostrums. Anyone objecting to my inclusion of ?racialism? should send me examples ? no, only one example would do ? of a single race preference policy that the president has rescinded or even rhetorically opposed.
