When I see minorities or women in office, I'm a bit wary. Not of their qualifications but their associations. For this voter, I could careless of how they come across whether its liberal or conservative, color-blind or racist, and dumb or smart. As a minority living in white flight, I look for the Pat Riley or Margaret Thatcher factor with great interest.
I believe that this is whats happening to Sandy Springs mayor, Eva Galambos. This little tussle with Gwinnett College reinforces my view. She may be Jewish and a Phd but she can twang. Look at how many good ole Christian boys and girls she lead to the promise land with her reforms. Lets include sterilized minorities of Islamic, Jewish, and Hindu faiths as well as races who fear and hate other minorities besides their own. Likewise, racist homosexuals.
White flight minorities went in for the ride and voted her into office. However, sterilized as they maybe towards white heterosexuals, minorities and homosexuals do end up with off springs who need to go somewhere. Certainly not Sandy Springs. Eva is going to make sure of that with her good ole boy lobby of folks with questionable education. Those are the folks that helped get into office with the "I'm afraid of City of Atlanta's agenda" rhetoric since 1989. Eva woofed about their work ethic and she was going to take them on when push comes to shove. Unfortunately, the Good Ole Boys got scared when the pressure got tight and left her hanging to dry.
Eva is definitely a figure head like Bobby Jindal. I get aware of having somebody who is married within their faith or race but leads an agenda of white flight. Danielle Giffords and Nikki Haley are at least honest. But in their case, its not what religion you are but what religion you marry. Look at Barack Obama. Both women are willing to push their own constituents hard. Sometimes, though, your own group pushes you back, hard. Eva is too passive and afraid to get on her Good Ole Boys due to her Christian dependency on them. She side steps them if they want a massage parlor or liquor store across the street from the city government place.
I think of her as Miss Piggy. Yeah, she is strong and tough against individuals or folks but you can't take on a group that can roast you and eat you in a heartbeat with money to spare (Piggy started running when she saw an oven). You either marry one or avoid them. Don't vote for me as Sandy Springs mayor. She was the perfect type for lobbyists to get Sandy Springs to be a city but not the type to run it. I believe a person needs to lead and push a fraternity instead of being pushed and pulled by one like pork.
