We’re taking a back road with no towns at all for the first 400km. Which means no bloody tourists towing caravans, either.

‘..What a difference from today, where the handwringing of nervous housewives (“God forbid little Jimmy should encounter peanut traces in his food”) dominates our daily existence, and the liberal imperative of nanny-state overregulation promises the illusion of lives lived in perfect safety and perfect comfort, without risk or suffering or even unpleasantness.  Self-sufficiency is anathema to this mentality, but the Lewis and Clark expedition was self-sufficient to an almost unbelievable degree: they not only hunted their own food, but, when necessary, built their own boats; sewed their own clothes; and when it was too cold to travel, built their own forts — not once, but twice.
In our modern republic, where large segments of our population compete to be declared helpless victims so they can receive government handouts, one cannot help but think that little Jimmy might benefit from being sent out with Drouilliard: “Here’s a musket, son — now go kill that deer, and don’t miss, because if you do, there’s a strong possibility you might starve.”…’                    source

 ‘The left/liberal need to think Republicans and conservatives racists is more than just projection. At this point, it is nothing short of a mental illness. It is so far divorced from reality, it has to be pathological. No longer are these people able to observe reality with anything close to impartiality.

‘…Obama did not have an aspirational candidacy, he had an aspirational brand. A brand that people wanted to be a part of, because it made them feel good about themselves. And so we learned that there is indeed something worse than Bread and Circuses. An electorate that votes on that is at least somewhat capable of using self-interest to make judgments, but one that votes for the brand that feels good has abandoned even the vestiges of reason and self-interest. Such people are no longer exercising their power over government, instead they have become customers, buying a product that they have no say in how it gets made or what goes in there. Not because they need it, but because they have been programmed to feel good when buying it..’      source

‘IN a major security breach at Victoria’s parliament house, anti-coal protesters have climbed onto the roof and unfurled a large banner.
Protesters abseiled down the front of the Melbourne building on Monday morning to display the large black and white sign.
It reads: “Coal is the single greatest threat to civilisation and all life on our planet.”…’
These clowns obviously have no brains…perhaps that’s why they’re pulling idiot stunts while other people have to work…..scum such as this constitutes a far greater “threat to civilisation” than coal.

of his tour in Iraq. Great soundtrack, too.

“To achieve world government, it is necessary to remove from the minds of men their individualism, loyalty to family traditions, national patriotism, and religious dogmas”
Brock Chisholm, director of the United Nations World Health Organisation. (summer 1991 edition of SCP Journal)

Take a look at this load of dishonest, partisan drivel. This is what passes for “journalism” in the People’s Democratic Republic of  New Zealand!
