the GOP recruiting them as part of the "Southern Strategy")...Jesse Owns went bankrupt in just 4 years and followed Republicans who gave him money in the hope of getting votes...it didn't work in 1940 as Owens supported FDR's candidacy that year....(see linked article).

Nonetheless, FDR was, as we all know, never a Communist...even though he pushed a Very Socialist Platform...so long as Mayor Mamdani delivers for those in need of assistance, and still advocating for Democracy...he will be a thorn in the side of those MAGAs who support Trump's authoritarian agenda.

Is it possible that a man as intelligent as Mamdani actually believes there is an Allah? [LINK] - Curly1918 - 2:09pm 7/22/26 (32) [View All]
- You know that is just the Arabic word for God, right? Do you think there is a God? [NT] - Chris94 - 3:54pm 7/22/26
  - Is Allah a socialist or a communist? [NT] - iairishcheeks - 9:28pm 7/22/26
  - A God? No. That's a projection of how we saw our parents as infants. But... I do agree with Spinoza. [LINK] - Curly1918 - 4:56pm 7/22/26
    - That is a big difference between God and Allah. - NedoftheHill - 6:43pm 7/22/26
      - Because Chris called out the stupidity you pivot to others interpretation of Allah - Quest4twelve - 9:52pm 7/22/26
        
        Apparently he only called out your stupidity. - NedoftheHill - 10:25pm 7/22/26
        
        A pagan statue could be a “God”” to some. Context is important - Hensou - 10:14pm 7/22/26
      - Correct. [NT] - Hensou - 7:15pm 7/22/26
      - Yeah. English and Arabic. [NT] - Chris94 - 6:58pm 7/22/26
    - Then why are you a Notre Dame Fan? - Hensou - 6:37pm 7/22/26
      - Because not everybody has to be like you to be an ND fan [NT] - Chris94 - 6:59pm 7/22/26

        Denying the faith of the Blessed Mother is not being a Notre Dame fan. - Hensou - 7:13pm 7/22/26
        
        And yet we pay players after evaluating their 40 times more than their faith. - NedoftheHill - 7:50pm 7/22/26
        
        One need not share those beliefs…but hopefully they would be respectful of them. [NT] - TakethetrainKnute - 8:03pm 7/22/26
        
        Agreed. [NT] - NedoftheHill - 12:53am 7/23/26
        
        Yes. [NT] - Hensou - 8:34pm 7/22/26
        
        Luckily we don't rely on intolerant cranks to make decisions on who can and who can't be an ND fan [NT] - Chris94 - 7:40pm 7/22/26
        
        I said nothing that was untrue. You sound silly. - Hensou - 8:33pm 7/22/26

- Like Tyrone, he likely believes that religion is just a lever to control the masses. [NT] - NedoftheHill - 3:45pm 7/22/26
  - I disagree. Tyrone seems like a genuine Prince Myshkin and is good hearted but blind to reality, - Curly1918 - 5:20pm 7/22/26
    - LOL...you are nothing if not Creative...the reality of life in NYC for the 1 in 5 residents who are - TyroneIrish - 12:24am 7/23/26
    - I think one would have to be Mysh-uggeneh…to believe that. [NT] - TakethetrainKnute - 7:49pm 7/22/26
    - Only Prince Myshkin could see Prince Myshkin in Tyrone. [NT] - NedoftheHill - 6:35pm 7/22/26
      - Thank you! I aspire to be as pure a spirit as The Idiot. - Curly1918 - 11:08pm 7/22/26

  - I take it this is a no to my question... or is his mind buried in the ancient superstitious past? [NT] - Curly1918 - 3:19pm 7/22/26
- NFW - he worships one thing: power. He’s a communist. [NT] - LanceManion - 2:16pm 7/22/26
  - Sounds just like a Republican in the 30's railing about FDR...calm down, Lance... [NT] - TyroneIrish - 2:59pm 7/22/26
