White Males Seem To Be The Ones Who Hate The ACA Most/Yet They Need It Most

When I am listening to progressive talk it seems like the people who are the most hateful and vindictive are white males. The racist and hate drips out of every syllable. And what is even more noticeable are the number of white males between 20 - 45 who have a chip on their shoulder.

On 760am Denver we have this idiot "Meat Head Mark" who calls in every day to dump RW talking points. He interrupts, he has none of the facts right, and he makes Limbaugh look like a communist. He rarely misses a day and takes the most RW stances on every issue. He is obviously a racist and bigot with an IQ smaller than a shoe side of the child. The host of that progressive show believes in fair and balanced debate.

And there are others who call through the day on Schultz, Hartmann, Goldman. They all appear to be middle age or near middle age.
And they are adamant that Obama is destroying the company and taking their freedom.

Most of these fellows will never retire, be unemployable by 42, and will never have any job security the way jobs are now. They are toast and will have to work until dead. That is because they are against just about every social program and unions. They believe they are supermen who are in great demand their entire life.

Such ruggedly individualistic he-men are gonna stiffen their upper lips and work twice as hard trying to pretend they're not sick. At least they won't have to live as long as unemployable men.

They advocate things that work against their own self-interests, based on ideology. Oh well, Darwin at work.

That's who the right-wing has tapped into and manipulated. They'll wake up one day, as my dad sort of did, when he got cancer and had to opt for VA doctors.

I know you weren't painting with a broad brush but it may come off that way.

The twentieth century was remarkable for the speed at which the West changed as a civilization. The rapid changes of the twentieth century are the source of much of the backlash we see today. Failing to take these changes into account renders any attempt to explain the present woefully incomplete.
