mr6666 Posted September 12, 2017 Kagame's Re-election in Rwanda: "Paul Kagame may have just been re-elected president of Rwanda, but he clearly puts little stock in elections. Late last month, the man who has ruled post-genocide Rwanda for two decades rejected "Western democracy" and asserted Africa's need for its own version of democracy. Coming from a man whose opponents tend to turn up dead or imprisoned, the statement is an ominous one. While Kagame's words would once have drawn international ire, he has less to fear these days. In Donald Trump, the United States has a leader who prefers to embolden autocratic leaders....... ....In the meantime, at least Kenya's judges have rebuked Kagame's vision of undemocratic "African democracy" more powerfully than any Western capital ever could. http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/41901-kagame-s-re-election-in-rwanda-a-trump-approved-exercise-in-sham-democracy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bogie56 Posted September 15, 2017 so what? all liberals do is give empty worthless speeches that do nothing and then try to pass of the speech-making as somehow affirmative concrete action... maybe trump doan believe in wasting his time with worthless symbolics. The elite liberal Robert De Niro is embarking on a plan to help rebuild Barbuda. My guess is that most American conservatives will do nothing but come up with excuses why they cannot spend money to help those less fortunate. Then they will go to church on Sunday and praise God.

LawrenceA Posted September 15, 2017 When Hurricane Irma came through and knocked out the power around here, all I had for entertainment or information was the radio. I thought even that would be no help, since our local rock, pop, and talk stations all went out with the power, and the only thing I could pick up were the three local country music stations, all of whom had generators and kept broadcasting at near full power. Not being a fan of country music, I was set to turn the radio off when I just happened to pick up NPR (National Public Radio) from nearby Gainesville. I ended up listening to it for several hours, and I just wanted to point out that nearly everything you've discussed in this thread so far was also covered on NPR during those 36 or so hours. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
