Since a vote in America is private, I would posit that the guilty white leftist could just have easily have not voted for Obama in the privacy of the
voting booth. McCain received 55% of white votes and even won more white female votes than Obama.
The idea of the guilty white leftist is a leftover of the baby boomer leftists. I do not find such "guilt" in young people. Obama received much
support from younger voters, as well as support from demographics which had before voted Republican. Old guilty white leftists who would vote out of
fear of being labeled racists (a subgroup of a subgroup...) were not responsible for his election.
Fear did play a part in electing Obama. People who feared where America was headed and/or feared personally for their job, their 401K, or
disenfranchisement from American society or politics.
If someone is angry, ask what they are afraid of. For anger is often the result of fear. That is why those that stoke irrational fear, stoke
unrighteous anger and its relative, hate. Jesus admonished his disciples not to fear; He admonished them not to hate. To act like Jesus Christ, to be
Christian, would mean not to fear, not to hate. Fear and hate are not Christian values.
As far as really old leftists and values...even Bill Ayers has been married to the same woman for 37 years.
