No, like in Scandanavia, and to some extent like in much of Western Europe. Office holders are actually elected.
The US was pretty much in sync with Europe through out the mid 60's. But then Richard Nixon unveiled his Southern Strategy, to take advantage of the effects of racism and religion. Since, our country has continued to go further and further to the Right.
I was so encouraged when they elected Chokwe Lumumba Sr. in Jackson, and then distraught when he died do young. But now to see his son elected, just awesome.
Hey Lloyd you sure you want to hitch your wagon to the Malcolm X train?
"The white liberal differs from the white conservative only in one way: the liberal is more deceitful than the conservative. The liberal is more hypocritical than the conservative. Both want power, but the white liberal is the one who has perfected the art of posing as the Negro’s friend and benefactor; and by winning the friendship, allegiance, and support of the Negro, the white liberal is able to use the Negro as a pawn or tool in this political “football game” that is constantly raging between the white liberals and white conservatives.
Politically the American Negro is nothing but a football and the white liberals control this mentally dead ball through tricks of tokenism: false promises of integration and civil rights. In this profitable game of deceiving and exploiting the political politician of the American Negro, those white liberals have the willing cooperation of the Negro civil rights leaders. These “leaders” sell out our people for just a few crumbs of token recognition and token gains. These “leaders” are satisfied with token victories and token progress because they themselves are nothing but token leaders" Malcom X
SJG doesn't really care about any social causes. The guy is a complete fraud. All he is doing is look for dopes who are gullible enough to join his church. He think he'll be able to get hookers to join so he can finally get laid w/o paying. Truth is, it's just gonna be a big sausage fest of dudes even crazier than he is. But, at the end of the day, if that's all he can get, he'll settle for it.
Women are easy to recruit. More difficult is to find suitably knowledgeable and capable men.
But one thing is true, I don't go along with the liberal idea of tolerance. I want the poor and religious minorities, and LGBT's, to stand up for themselves, and to stop being Uncle Tom's.
Whoa! That's pretty progressive statement "I don't go along with the liberal idea of tolerance"!
This coming from SJG who wanted Motörhead shot and recently told ATACdawg the same thing, just because they disagree with him. More contradictions from SJG. He really needs to proofread his inconsistency.
