This is so absolutely amazing. That this is allowed and that we all accept this says very little for our intellectual capacity. Democracy is a tool imo of special pressure groups. And that leads me to your title. Why do you think there arent many women in high political office? Because women are not easily corruptable or open to blackmail. Because usually they lead more open lives, without much closet goings on. There are exceptions, which probably get hoisted on the political ladder by tptb. |

We should have 50% women leaders only when we also have 50% women jailbirds and 50% women on death row. |

How democratic! Half of today’s democratic peoples are practically banned from ruling their states! There were G-7, G-8, G-9… still no women were tolerated as rulers (oh, sorry Mrs. Merkel, you are an exception besides the long forgotten Queen of England and you are in no way comparable to what I am talking about). Quoting: Anonymous Coward 199230Now, compare that to the myriad of empresses and queens of Sumer, Babylon, Egypt, Assyria, Egypt, Persia, Sheba, Arabia, Palmira, Byzantium, Austria, Russia, France… Compare even to the real power of the Ottoman Hurem Sultans, who often ruled instead of their illustrious husbands. Even the Zulu had more wisdom. Ancient Greece, where “democracy’ (in fact military democracy) claims its origin, was the only important ancient society where women were regarded as inferior to men and judged by double standards for deities and humans. The other misogynist example was Israel, or was it Judea + Samaria or whatever, quite a marginal state at the time. Smirking, cowardly men, with no dignity are today’s rulers, behaving like rodents, killing, and deceiving one another, leading the world into the abyss. Just as in ancient Greece, modern “democrats” still make statues of “Liberty”. Delacroix painted “The liberty leading people” during the French “revolution” – so much for women, as none ruled France afterwards. The occult goddesses of masonry, the Virgin Mary of Catholicism - all of that was for fear of the Goddess – not for respect of her. These “rulers” still fear women, fear the Goddess and deceive Her all the time. They still think they are smart. You want a link? How about your navel string? Fuck you. You're a totally brainless idiot. |

There are great, strong, women leaders in the bible but they are ignored in favor of submissive. |

The House of Sinanju User ID: 290291 United States 09/19/2007 10:00 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Thank GAWD that America is not a democracy! Whew! That was a close one. (If America was a democracy, blacks would still be as they were in the 1860s as the MAJORITY did not want them around, care about them, or slavery.) Still like democracy, idiot? "Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." ---C.S. Lewis |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 296524 United States 09/19/2007 10:57 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | American politicans have so confused the citizens about democracy that most people think we are one. We are not. We are a constitutional republic, where we elect representatives to do our bidding. A democracy, on the other hand, is one step away from military rule. In our constitutional republic the supreme power rests with the citizens, although lately it seems our representatives have decided to represent themselves at the expense of the citizenry. Our present administration, while touting the need for democracies everywhere, is indeed about to turn our country into one if we, the citizens, don't do something NOW to stop him. |
