That was all I really needed to make my point -- democracy is not a friend to minorities. Minorities who claim they want more democracy are lying. At least Ta Nahesi Coates has been honest enough to say that he believes one-man-one-vote democracy is just another tool the white man uses to oppress the black man.

Democracy. <br />Yet for some reason it is the progressives who want to govern at the federal level, the least Democratic level of American government, and who want to enshrine their policy preferences as constitutional rights, immune from the judgment of the ballot box. <br />You are a wannabe commissar, R&B.

Lewis, you are new here; I had had a good initial read on you, but WHAT?<br /><br />1. I don't think R&B is gay. Has not IMHO presented as gay.<br /><br />2. Although he has appeared well-informed on Judaism, and sympathetic, I had not thought he was Jewish but rather a well-wisher with exposure, Jewish friends. <br /><br />3. So the f*** what? I'm a Jew who is anti-gay and conservative. Farmer is a gay who is anti-Jew and conservative. I'm really trying to think of people who I would like to be in charge of my destiny, and failing. (To be clear, I support the President-Elect. I'm just a minarchist.)<br /><br />R&B/CC has issues, sure, but you haven't grasped them. I chiefly ascribe it to youth.

You've mentioned both your homosexuality and your Jewishness in Althouse comments -- though this is the internet, for all I know you are an Catholic Pakistani doing a six month shift at McMurdo.<br />And my recalling your minority status, R&B, was not meant as an insult. I am sick and tired of Leftists screaming "democracy" when they have as much respect for the actual will of the people, expressed in referendums or by their chosen representatives, as the Castro brothers. The last thing any minority population wants is to have its political rights defined by the majority. The Leftist idea of democracy isn't that you get to vote on whether or not you have mandatory recycling -- that's been decided by the nomenklatura -- it is that you get to vote on whether the recycling bins are green or blue.<br />Lewis Wetzelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01200232293505119133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-81635896462256209052017-01-10T00:08:21.955-06:002017-01-10T00:08:21.955-06:00I voted for Bernie in the CA primaries, thinking h...<i>I voted for Bernie in the CA primaries, thinking he had a chance against her.
