Mamdani is as American as apple pie
By Bill Ponton

Is Mamdani not a product of America? Everything about him I recognize as part of our society. I don’t celebrate it, but I don’t deny it. He grew up and mastered a system created by our brahmin class. He was nurtured in a family that was ensconced in the elite university system that holds sway in our country. He went to Bowdoin College, an exclusive, expensive retreat for the children of the well-off. He majored in African studies, as his father had, but he was not destined for the confines of a university library his whole life. He knew that he had charisma and wanted to shape American culture and politics in some way. He looked back at the student radicals of the ‘60s and said, “I want to fashion myself as one of them.” He wanted to take radical chic to a new level. He updated the rhetoric of the same era to reflect the fashionable causes of his generation, a muddled mixture of socialism, jihadism, and gay rights. He is an echo of a radical American tradition focusing on oppression and victimhood of race, class, gender. He is Angela Davis standing on the podium circa 1970 with her fist held high in the Black Power salute shouting “Power to the people!” Mandani is everything the ‘60s protest generation enshrined and everything the current generation of pampered narcissists crave.

We do not need to look outside of America for forces that want to dismantle the values which many of us still hold dear such as: free speech, private property, and personal liberty. A destructive strain is already deeply embedded in our culture just waiting to erupt and impact the political sphere. Mamdani is that manifestation.

Wrong.  The ideology that Mandami embraced, though it is taught at American colleges and universities is an import:  the ideas of the Frankfurt School, Foucault, Derrida, and a host of anti- and post-colonialist writers in Europe and the Third World, who imbibed Lenin's provably wrong imperialism theory as it it were their mother's milk. Maybe the particular model of those ideas was assembled in America, into wokeness and DEI, but even that version is no more an American ideology than a model of BMW assembled in North Carolina is an American car.

He is Mohammad at the gates, urging his followers to "Kill. Kill. Kill".

He is a modern jihadi, ready to turn NYC into a muslim property, and once elected, it will forever be regarded by muslims around the world as "theirs".

The socialism/communism will quickly give way to Islamic law. The current NYC Sharia police will be beefed up to ensure strict Islamic law is followed by all.

Yep. Socialism is the stalking horse for Sharia.
