“Even women instinctively vote Democrat”???? Not me. Not my friends.

So the solution is for the Republicans to embrace identity politics. Oh, goody.

Doesn’t that just raise the level of concern FOR THE NATION. The nation was never intended to be governed with decisions made as a bunch of interest groups. The idea was that “THE NATION” was the reference point: the health of the nation, the prosperity of the nation, the defense of the nation.

Oh, well. Sign me up, I guess.

I’m 100% Dane, 3rd generation US. So let me know the following please:

1. Where is the affirmative action education for Danes? No one has ever offered to help me.
2. My heritage is disrespected and ignored. Can I get PBS to run PSA’s regarding treating Danes better?
3. I expect that my 2nd and 3rd cousins, still in Denmark, should be able to immigrate here on my citizenship, without having to go through all the crap, so let me know where to sign up for that.
4. I demand Danish Study Month be observed in high schools and universities, beginning next year. I expect to see Scandinavian Studies and endowed Scandinavian Chairs in all major universities by the school year 2010-11.
5. I demand that all blacks and hispanics be required to attend sensitivity training so that they are more aware of my perspective and my pet Danish language phrases.
6. I am under-represented in Congress. I demand at least 2 Danes to be seated in the Congress by 2012.
7. And, finally: reparations. My family was not able to begin its immigration from Denmark until the late 1890′s. I DEMAND financial and property reparations compensating for 75 years prior to that date, for the hard work my grandfathers had to do at backbreaking labor as they saved money laboring in New York, Wisconsin and Nebraska for YEARS before they could afford to buy a small plot of land.

Like I said, let me know where to sign up. You want identity politics, let’s go for it. What do the rest of you guys want? Start your lists now.
