I was planning some furious commentary on the Christian Social Democrats' Pride Week advertisement in the Swedish gay press, but I got distracted by spontaneous, spiteful laughter after reading the English-language presentation on their website. I know, I should stick to lambasting the two-faced politics of this organization; and remind everyone wooed by their nice and open-minded image of the moral support the Christian Social Democrats give to Arab Islamists that routinely slaughter gays and lesbians. But hey, it's Saturday night, and what better way to humiliate a bunch of silly hypocrites than to quote them? This is how the Christian Social Democrats describe themselves:
Politcs is a tool to change the world. Nothing more or less. But if you want to change the world you have to know what you want. You have to be able to define and tell your visions.This is why politics is also about telling stories. To tell the story of the past, present and the future. To tell the story of injustice that needs to change, the story of the heories and the good values that have to remain strong and be encouraged. The story of how beathiful the future could be.
One of our most important stories is the story of justice, and how justice can be achieved. "Carry eachothers pain" is one of our basic ideas. We believe that justice can come when people care for eachothers pain and well-being. Justice comes through cooperation and love for the other. Together we can make things better and easier for eachother.
The Christian social democrats wants to challange our biggest party in sweden, the Social Democrats to rethink, to have the courage to be radical in order to make better changes. We don't want the social party to be stuck in traditonal patterns of governance. This is why the Christian Social Democrats should offer alternative solution in swedish politics. We see ourselves as the critical voice in the society that questions mainstream politics in our own party, the Swedish Social Democrats.
May I suggest a qualified translator, a dictionary, and a zero-tolerance approach to punctuation?
