James Delingpole:
‘…One of the grimmest ironies of the modern environmental movement is just how much damage it has done to the planet in the name of ‘saving’ it. Green biofuels (crops such as palm oil grown for fuel) have not only led to the destruction of millions of acres of rainforest in Asia, Africa and South America, but are now known to produce four times more CO2 pollution than fossil fuels.
…The real deniers are those ideological greens who refuse to look at hard evidence (not just pie-in-the-sky computer models which are no more accurate than the suspect data fed into them) and won’t accept that their well-intentioned schemes to make our world a better place are in fact making it uglier, poorer and less free.’

‘A COUNCIL will consider banning Nazi flags after a Melbourne man flew swastika and SS flags outside his home.’
Perhaps they’ll also consider banning the display of this or this at public demos and other leftist events?
Fat chance…that’s “free speech”.

This is in the centre of London’s financial district.

MK has a good post on this.

At what point does legitimate law-enforcement become Big Brother snooping?
‘THE world’s most advanced speed camera – so accurate it can catch you using a mobile phone or not wearing a seatbelt from 600m away – is being assessed for Victoria…’
Either we demand limits be placed on the power of the State or we accept that any intrusion into our lives in the name of fighting crime or potential crimes is acceptable.
The tools are in place. A vast army of leftist-indoctrinated know-nothing drones, sophisticated surveillance technology, large numbers of clipboard warriors and people who have been conditioned to regard informing as somehow “moral”, a complicit media. When has a State ever had all those tools and failed to use them for the repression of its own citizens?

I forget where I got this, so apologies for not linking to the source.

‘The GOP is signing its own political death warrant by backing him.
…It appears that country club Republicans have succeeded again in duping the GOP electorate into crowning a “centrist” Republican. Never mind that “centrist” Republicans rarely win the center. They usually lose the center while sapping the spirit of the party’s conservative base.
…Even though Romney paid for this Florida win on his debit card — outspending Newt by millions — he still couldn’t nail down the rank-and-file vote. Seven out of ten self-described conservatives didn’t vote for him. This foreshadows the boredom and disgust that will keep conservatives home in the fall…’    source
And the GOP would be perfectly happy to see conservatives stay home. True conservatives are as much the enemy of the Republican leaders as they are of the Democrats. They threaten to disturb the cozy reigning duopoly in Washington.

Not to mention Zimbabwe and North Korea..
‘Right-wingers are less intelligent than left wingers, says study‘
(a study by Canadian academics, no less!)

have no sense of humour. This guy was the mascot of an Australian Army unit, until he bit a Brigadier, which resulted in his dishonourable discharge. Wabbit thinks he should have been promoted and given an A1+ performance evaluation.   (Gecko pic)

I’ve been having terrible trouble with my wireless pre-paid internet connection. A very angry call to Telstra, and suddenly it’s working well again. This is the second time a pissed-off call has resulted in an instant improvement.
Wabbit doesn’t believe in coincidence.
