Title: 2020
Post by: cav58d on November 01, 2006, 11:01:02 AM
(I took this idea from Bill O'reilly's culture warrior)

It's the year 2020, and President Gloria Hernandez is about to give her State of the Union Address...What will she say? (Seriously)

She'll probably say: 'Live from New York, It's Saturday Night'....

In 14 years time, the only Latina that the US will give enough popular votes to to win the office of Chief Executive will be a fictional one.

Are we supposed to panic at the idea of a hispanic (gasp) female (GASP!) president?  

Willy Horton or will he not get elected?

Paranoia is teh bad, yes, but I still wonder what the motivation behind the original question is.  

Is it "How will you react to a latina President?" (with a subtext that "the way thing are going, these hispanic folks are going to take the country away from us real americans" that's not unreasonable to interpret).  

or is it

Is it "What will the 2020 state of the nation address?"

The fact that he went out of his way to use that name seems to suggest that the first is very possible.   I'm not trying to tilt at windmills, but I can see some ingenuous "gosh Chairboy, where'd you get _that_ idea?" posts from people playing dumb coming soon.

Race has always been important in US politics.  The Willy Horton reference, for one.  An attack ad using jungle drums when describing a black candidate for senate recently, the whole illegal immigration issue, etc.  Seems like this could be another example.

You are right, I did use the name "Gloria Hernandez" to imply that a hispanic female was in Office...There is nothing racist about that at all...Looking at the hispanic population boom, and the women in politics movement, it is very possible to have this type of combination in the year 2020..................

How interesting. Almost two and quarter centuries of unbroken white male domination, an in 14 years we break through two barriers?

A female president, maybe.

A non-white president, perhaps.

Both? Sure. Sometime before the turn of the next century.

Hispanics are mostly Catholic?

Does that mean they are also mostly pro life?

Please re-read the post...Not once did I mention political ideology

Ideology is far more important than race or gender to many. I'd vote for Condaleeza Rice over John Kerry 100 times out of a hundred.

 " I have today outlawed the practice of hoing in AH, Lgays are no longer allowed in the MA"....

Greetings fellow Consumers of the United States of America Inc.!

I speak to you today from the Miller Genuine Draft White House to relay the latest Profitablilty Strategy from the National  Corporate Share Holders Meeting held yesterday at the Merck Pharmaceuticals Capitol building. Firstly you will be pleased to know that, since the Corporate Shareholders currently own 87% of the United States of America Inc., it will not be necessary to distract you individual shareholders from your productive consumption with a General National Shareholders meeting and vote.

The most important news from the meeting is that the International Commerce Bank of China has completed it's aquisation of Walmart and therefore adds Walmart's 30% National Shareholding to it's current 22%, making it the dominant shareholder in United States of America Inc.. Congratulations to ICBC and it's shareholders around the world: I am sure you find our Nation Corporation a profitable and prestigious posession! This exciting development will allow USA Inc to further increase it's dynamism and leverage it's synergies in World Commerce! Look for many impvements over the coming months: ICBC has already outlined plans to slim down USA Inc and re-focus on core capabilities! Additionally ICBC plans to resolve the long running National Language Dispute between our Spanish and English speaking consumers. ICBC plans to change the National Language to Mandarin in line with it's other National Corporates such as EU AG, UK Ltd., Australia - New Zealand Pty. Ltd. and the Peoples Corporation of China and Siberia. Even better news for Consumers is that the Board of USA Inc. (headed by myself of course) have made some excelenet deals to provide language retraining to Consumers for the low, low price of 45000 Carbon Trading Units! We do have to recognize, however, that some Consumers will not be able to take advantage of this offer or will be incapable of learning the the new National Language. Unfortunately world competition will demand that these individuals will have to be down-graded from Consumers to Associate Consumers with consequent loss of shareholding, water rations and reproductive coupons (gun ownership rights will, of course, not be effected). However we are sure most Consumers will be able to help their Nation by diligently acquiring these new language skills!

......

Naw, they'll never release stock control of the country to anyone, much less its citizens.  They'll just print more stock certificates if they need to, seems to work with money.

While humorous (did you make that up yourself? :D ), I sadly think there is much truth in this rendition...
