Президент и премьер вышли из доверия // Граждане недовольны действиями власти

Президент и премьер вышли из доверия // Граждане недовольны действиями власти: Индекс доверия к президенту и к премьеру достиг рекордно низкого значения за последние три года, выяснили социологи фонда «Общественное мнение» (ФОМ). Сейчас Владимиру Путину доверяют 41% россиян, а Дмитрию Медведеву — 34%. Кроме того, большинство граждан отметили, что действия властей за последний месяц вызывали у них недовольство. Глава ФОМ Александр Ослон полагает, что это связано с «бурной активностью законодательной и исполнительной власти», которая вызывает тревогу у населения.

Все самое интересное на канале Pravda.ru - www.youtube.com Представляем вашему вниманию хит-парад увольнений и отставок. Год 2012. Президент России Владимир Путин. Совсем недавно Глава государства освободил от занимаемых должностей ряд генералов в системе МВД. В черный список попали: генерал-майор внутренней службы Михаил Утяцкий, полковник внутренней службы Александр Квитко, а также два заместителя начальников региональных главков МВД: по Нижегородской и Самарской областям. Этой весной сразу же после инаугурации Владимир Путин отправил в отставку министра МВД России Рашида Нургалиева, а также многих генералов, входивших в его команду. Причиной стали многочисленные скандалы, связанные с коррупцией и не слишком удачная реформа МВД. В общем доверия президента и правительства Рашид Гумарович не оправдал. Одновременно в отставку ушёл, оказавший неоценимый вклад в российское образование Андрей Фурсенко, покинула свою должность прозванная в народе «Мадам Арбидол» министр здравоохранения Татьяна Голикова, осталась без работы и известная по своим домам во Франции, министр сельского хозяйства Елена Скрынник. В октябре был освобожден от должности министр регионального развития Олег Говорун. Владимир Путин раскритиковал его за срыв подготовки предложений по развитию Сибири и Дальнего Востока. Здесь сложно сказать. Видимо фамилия министра сыграла свою роль. Ну и из за коррупционного скандала в отставку совсем недавно был отправлен Министр обороны России Анатолий Сердюков.

John Kerry says Americans 'have a right to be stupid'


Published on Feb 26, 2013
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry says Americans have the right to be stupid, during a meeting in Berlin.

Full Story:
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry is making his first trip overseas since replacing Hillary Clinton as the nation's top diplomat.

Meeting with a group of youths in Berlin on Tuesday, Kerry said that in America "you have the right to be stupid".

[John Kerry, U.S. Secretary of State]
"We live and breathe the idea of religious freedom and religious tolerance, whatever the religion, and political freedom and political tolerance, whatever the point of view. I mean, you know, some people have sometimes wondered why our Supreme Court allows one group or another to march in a parade even though it's the most provocative thing in the world and they carry signs that are an insult to one group or another. And the reason is that, that's freedom, freedom of speech. In America you have the right to be stupid, if you want to be, and you have the right to be disconnected to somebody else if you want to be. And we tolerate it and somehow we make it through that. Now I think that's a virtue. I think that's something worth it fighting for."

The comments were made hours before Kerry was due to hold key diplomatic talks with high ranking officials.

Russians Savor Kerry's Description of 'Stupid' Americans

By Natalya Krainova
The St. Petersburg Times


MOSCOW – A first meeting between new U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov might have been a key development in tense U.S.-Russian ties this week, but Russian media instead savored a declaration by Kerry that Americans have "the right to be stupid."
Two prominent Russian personalities told The St. Petersburg Times on Wednesday that they think Americans do tend to be too narrow-minded.
Kerry, making his first foreign trip as the United States' top diplomat, made the comment while talking to German students ahead of the meeting with Lavrov in Berlin on Wednesday.
"As a country, as a society, we live and breathe the idea of religious freedom and religious tolerance, whatever the religion, and political freedom and political tolerance, whatever the point of view," Kerry said in comments posted on YouTube.
"People have sometimes wondered about why our Supreme Court allows one group or another to march in a parade even though it's the most provocative thing in the world and they carry signs that are an insult to one group or another," he said. "The reason is that's freedom, freedom of speech. In America, you have a right to be stupid — if you want to be."
The comment elicited laughter from the audience.
Kerry's remarks resonated with Maxim Shevchenko, a conservative television host on Channel One, who said many ordinary Americans practice their right to be stupid because they are "not interested in anything" and believe what they see on television.
"Most Americans do not overburden their brains with anything that isn't directly related to their private lives," Shevchenko said by telephone.
Sergei Markov, a member of the Public Chamber and a former State Duma deputy with United Russia, said Americans may not be stupid but they do lack broad-based knowledge. He said he has spoken with many ordinary Americans and found that instead they are "very developed" in moral principles, pragmatism and leadership qualities.
Russian media had a field day with Kerry's comments. The official government newspaper Rossiiskaya Gazeta ran the headline "U.S. Secretary of State: Every American Has the Right to Be Stupid," and Noviye Izvestia declared: "U.S. Secretary of State, After Making Up Kyrzakhstan, Endorses the Stupidity of Americans."
Last week, Kerry told students in Virginia that the State Department supports democracy in "Kyrzakhstan," a nonexistent state and an apparent mix of Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan.
Kerry meant to say Kyrgyzstan, according to an official State Department transcript of Kerry's remarks that did not reflect the mistake.
Kerry himself is well-educated and has broad professional experience, so his seeming slips of the tongue must be intentional and aimed at showing his human side to voters, Shevchenko said.
Kerry, 69, graduated from Yale University and received his law degree from Boston College Law School. He served for 28 years in the U.S. Senate before being appointed to his current post by President Barack Obama last month.
"Kerry is playing to the myth that Americans are stupid, as if to say, 'Yes, we are stupid, and we will keep doing what we are doing," Markov said, in a reference to U.S. foreign policy.
Kerry's "Kyrzakhstan" gaffe was not the first mishap the Obama administration has had in its dealings with Soviet successor states. In 2009, Kerry predecessor Hillary Clinton presented Lavrov with a symbolic button to mark a reset in U.S.-Russian relations. But the Cyrillic text on the button read "overload" instead of "reset."

The same Walls, The same gods... "Исаев назвал призывы Белковского экстремистскими" | Religious Diversity And Democratic Institutional Pluralism | Religion in Russia

 
 
Last Update: 2.19.13:

Политолог Станислав Белковский вызван на допрос в СК

Mike Nova commented:

The two ideological monopolies: ruling United Russia Party and ROC (MP) formed a reactionary "unholy" alliance, in order to maintain and strengthen their respective monopolies and their hold on political and religious powers. Presently they merged together like Siamese twins. A good surgeon is needed. A proper separation will be healthy for both parties.

Mnogo religiy, raznikh i "nuzhnikh",
A ne slepo kholopskih i rabski poslushnikh!

RUSSIA and THE WEST 
 

Religious Diversity And Democratic Institutional Pluralism

 
Veit Bader    University of Amsterdam

Abstract

Strict separation of church from a presumed ‘religion-blind’and strictly ‘neutral’state still is the preferred model in liberal, democratic, feminist, and socialist political theory. Focusing on the full, reciprocal relationships between society-culture-politics-nation-state and (organized) religions, this article makes a case in favor of ‘nonconstitutional pluralism’ in general, associative democracy in particular. Associative democracy recognizes religious diversity both individually and organizationally; it stimulates legitimate religious diversity; it prevents a hidden majority bias; and it provides a legitimate role for organized religions in the provision of a wide range of services, including education, on one hand, and in the political process, on the other hand. That organized religions should be informed, heard, and consulted in contested issues should be a crucial component of democratic participation. This also might help prevent the development of religious fundamentalism.
