Liberty has never come from the government. Liberty has always come from the subjects of government. The history of liberty is the history of resistance. The history of liberty is a history of the limitation of governmental power, not the increase of it --Woodrow Wilson

Double standards? Baylan or bust

Ibrahim Baylan the Swedish minister in charge of public schools (not universities) have been caught with his hands in the all to famous "cookie jar", however what has generated the loudest criticism and vocal demands for a public slap is not the fact that he was involved in voter fraud, or rather voting discrepancies as the Carter foundation so eloquently would put it.
no rather Mr Baylans visit to a club of dubious character has rendered him massive criticism, both internally from the Social democrats Feminist network Feministas (no, that is their name, however Daniel Ortega has nothing to do with it) and from others.

In the beginning I was appalled by this since the first reports hinted that Mr Baylan and friends all had used taxpayers money or other money not meant to be used for personal fringes, however now it seems that they did pay for this with their own money.
If this is the case I don't mind them going to a strip club, whatever rocks your boat, as long as I'm not footing the rocking with my income tax.

No I'm more fascinated by the fact that the alleged voter fraud is not being more critizised, who cares if the guy likes to look at women taking their clothes off, it's not like he is the first Socialist to do that, or is he Mr Rosengren? (Although he did not know he was at a stripclub, of course topless women are found in abundance in restaurants so I can see the mistake can easily be made) Back to Baylan though. I find it fascinating that we have brought the society so far that we are more upset over a visit to a strip club (with his own money) than we are over voters fraud/manipulation and so on. I think he has showed a blatant disrespect for democratic values and should step down in the name of decency, however decency seems to have left the Swedish Social democratic party when Palme took office.

Perhaps we can find Mr Baylan a nice cushy job in one of the >238 government agencies in Sweden.

I find this a most distressing development, we need to respect the vote no matter what it says Mr Baylan, remember that and apologize, I'm sure there will be a spot for you somewhere where you can go to strip clubs and cheat to your hearts content, perhaps you and Rosengren can open a joint together, I'm sure you can secure the funding and Rosengren seems to be somewhat of a connaiseur.

Note: Bjorn Rosengren former leader of a large union closely knit to the socialist party was discovered at a strip club and defended himself with the immortal words, "I didn't know where I was" of course he was directly promoted to a minister post in the subsequent Socialist government, such fast thinking is needed when uncomfortable questions arise)

Sincerely
Mr Silence
