Mamdani: Not A Prediction

[EMH]

Many? LOL.

Many more support him. That would be a majority, including Catholic, and Jewish voters.

Politics are rapidly changing in America. Anybody that thinks old school conservative politics is still viable in this country, isn't paying attention.

LOL!!!

Care to define "old school conservative politics" for us?


Because if that means the agenda of Newt Gingrich and the 1990s GOP, it is indeed very popular right now. What is not popular is extreme left wing kleptocracy and the Pro Israel RINOs who enable it.

I hope and expect his tenure is painful for New York

Absolutely....

And you had to let it be known that you are an aniti-semite didn't you ? Well you ought to have no problem with the new mayor, because he probably shares the same antisemitic views that you just expressed.

 

[Carl in Michigan]

How about you list what regular folks should have done.

Increasingly New York has been abandoned by anyone with common sense. Mamdani fills that vacuum

 

[beagle9]

How do you think Muslim members of Congress are sworn in? There is no requirement for any religious text to be used. George Washington was the first president, and he chose to do so. Not required. Freedom of religion and all that good stuff.

If you think that the Christian religion is not intertwined in our government, otherwise that has required all officials to be sworn in on the holy Bible until recently, then either you are a cold stone leftist radical liberal Democrat intent on undermining the structural integrity of this nation or you are just an ignorant fool.

Only because of the Indoctrination centers masquerading as public schools. They're failing to teach proper history of Socialism including the 1918 Bolshevik uprising and the murders of Tsar Nicholas II and the Romanov family, Mao's China, Josef Stalin making Hitler look like a Boy Scout, Idi Amin, Pol Pot, The Castro Bros. decimation of Cuba, Hugo Chavez ruination of Venezuela, need I go on?

What class were you taught about those things in your public school?

 

[beagle9]

What class were you taught about those things in your public school?

He just told you...History !

 

[GMCGeneral]

What class were you taught about those things in your public school?

Hmm, that would be my history classes from 7th Grade all the way through 12th. And that was back when we had another REAL President, Ronald Wilson Reagan.

Uh, no. You did not learn that in 7th grade social studies. Your memory is faulty. Most of that wouldn't have even been in the texts books unless you were in school in the 2000s, much less the curriculum.

 

[GMCGeneral]

Uh, no. You did not learn that in 7th garde social studies. Your memory is faulty.

How the hell would you know? You were not Mr. Johnson of Academic Challenge Center, nor Messers McGrath, Curry, nor Goodberry of South Park High School, so bugger off with your falsehoods, skippy.

The Marxsts are all in with the Islamists now

1. Communism was the first of the new mass movements in Europe, and the first to flourish in the Middle East as well. Europe’s Fascist and fascist-style movements began in the years after World War One. The major difference was that Communists and Marxists, aimed to show how similar they were in every country…the Fascists’ aims were to show how local and parochial, how ‘nationalist’ and ancient its interests were.
   1. Baath Socialism had its myth of man and history, the Arab nation was it’s people of God, corrupted and polluted by forces within and forces without.
   2. From Michel Aflaq, the founder and greatest of the Baathi theoreticians: The philosophies and teachings that come from the West invade the Arab mind and steal his loyalty.”
   3. And the people of evil who corrupted the nation of God, were, of course, the Jews. Pan-Arabists of one kind or another were responsible for the anti-Semitic outbreaks of the ‘40’s and ‘60’s.
   4. The Arabs, in this projection, would return to their “pure, original nature” by revering the revolutionary Leader who embodied the “Arab Spirit,” the spirit one embodied in the Prophet Muhammad himself. This meant unlimited mass obedience, and this implied following the political organization, or the state. This view was not only totalitarian, but anther element that traces back to the Enlightenment- nihilism.

Really worth reading.

If he became a dictator and tried to secede from the US he most certainly could become quite a thorn in our side unfortunately

A bit of a stretch.....


But, as are many dictators, a great speaker

NYC's death spiral has begun.

The phrase "the reports of my death are greatly exaggerated" is a famous quip attributed to the American author Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens)

You sound like the folks who said Trump would never be President.

 

[PoliticalChic]

While you pay no attention and go right on pursuing the treasonous bullshit you always push here, it actually is a valid observation to notice the correlation.

But you do not care. You are a treasonous liar and a complete fraud of a conservative.

Reserve that language to family meetings.

I saw the interview on c-span with his father, new book "Slow Poison."
No doubt where the antiSemitism comes from.

Ever live in NYC?

He is correct, of course.


As I have pointed out, the most used book in ed schools is by a communist.



This is what we find in teacher college:


"Pedagogy of the Oppressor

Another reason why U.S. ed schools are so awful: the ongoing influence of Brazilian Marxist Paulo Freire

Pedagogy of the Oppressor

1. At a recent meeting of the New York Teaching Fellows program (“Teach for America”: provides an alternate route to state certification for about 1,700 new teachers annually) , Sol Stern found the one book that the fellows had to read in full was Pedagogy of the Oppressed, by the Brazilian educator Paulo Freire.

This book has achieved near-iconic status in America’s teacher-training programs. In 2003, David Steiner and Susan Rozen published a study examining the curricula of 16 schools of education—14 of them among the top-ranked institutions in the country, according to U.S. News and World Report—and found that Pedagogy of the Oppressed was one of the most frequently assigned texts in their philosophy of education courses.

1. But rather than dealing with the education of children, Pedagogy of the Oppressed mentions none of the issues that troubled education reformers throughout the twentieth century: testing, standards, curriculum, the role of parents, how to organize schools, what subjects should be taught in various grades, how best to train teachers, the most effective way of teaching disadvantaged students. This ed-school bestseller is, instead, a utopian political tract calling for the overthrow of capitalist hegemony and the creation of classless societies.
2. Freire isn’t interested in the Western tradition’s leading education thinkers—not Rousseau, not Piaget, not John Dewey, not Horace Mann, not Maria Montessori. He cites a rather different set of figures: Marx, Lenin, Mao, Che Guevara, and Fidel Castro, as well as the radical intellectuals Frantz Fanon, Régis Debray, Herbert Marcuse, Jean-Paul Sartre, Louis Althusser, and Georg Lukács. And no wonder, since Freire’s main idea is that the central contradiction of every society is between the “oppressors” and the “oppressed” and that revolution should resolve their conflict. The “oppressed” are, moreover, destined to develop a “pedagogy” that leads them to their own liberation.
3. Freire never intends “pedagogy” to refer to any method of classroom instruction based on analysis and research, or to any means of producing higher academic achievement for students. [H]e relies on Marx’s standard formulation that “the class struggle necessarily leads to the dictatorship of the proletariat [and] this dictatorship only constitutes the transition to the abolition of all classes and to a classless society.” In one footnote, however, Freire does mention a society that has actually realized the “permanent liberation” he seeks: it “appears to be the fundamental aspect of Mao’s Cultural Revolution.”
4. The pedagogical point of Freire’s thesis : its opposition to taxing students with any actual academic content, which Freire derides as “official knowledge” that serves to rationalize inequality within capitalist society. One of Freire’s most widely quoted metaphors dismisses teacher-directed instruction as a misguided “banking concept,” in which “the scope of action allowed to the students extends only as far as receiving, filing and storing the deposits.” Freire proposes instead that teachers partner with their coequals, the students, in a “dialogic” and “problem-solving” process until the roles of teacher and student merge into “teacher-students” and “student-teachers.”

Stop licking the boots of socialists.

Try to shake the addiction.

Who really gives a shit about New York?

We all should because it will set a precedent with other major cities across the United States.
