‘THE Vatican has begun a historic move to rehabilitate the leftist Catholic movement known as “liberation theology” as the Pope refocuses the church on the poor.
L’Osservatore Romano, the Vatican’s official newspaper, devoted its centre spread to defending the virtues of liberation theology, which had been anathema since the Cold War….’
And naturally, once again it will result – MUST result – in support for terrorists.

‘MOSCOW (AP) — Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday called U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry a liar, claiming he had denied that al-Qaida was fighting with the Syrian opposition in that country’s civil war.
Speaking to his human rights council, Putin recalled watching a congressional debate where Kerry was asked about al-Qaida. Putin said he had denied that it was operating in Syria, even though he was aware of the al-Qaida-linked Jabhat al-Nusra group….’

‘..TONY Abbott plans to roll back Labor’s laws that limit free speech on the basis of not “giving offence”, defend religious freedom and reform the Australian Human Rights Commission.
In an exclusive interview with The Australian, the Opposition Leader said that, if elected, he would work with his attorney-general, George Brandis, to require the commission to champion, instead of restrict, the right of free speech in Australia.
This would involve amending the Racial Discrimination Act, which prohibits remarks that offend others on grounds of race or ethnicity.
….The Abbott-Brandis position is certain to provoke a firestorm of opposition from the Labor Party and the Greens, given their deep attachment to cultural and institutional change through the application of anti-discrimination law.
….Asked by The Australian if he had the tenacity to force through these reforms, Senator Brandis said: “I was born for it.”….’

‘…An Egyptian intelligence report describes a meeting in Turkey between military intelligence officials from Turkey and Qatar and Syrian rebels. One of the participants states, “there will be a game changing event on August 21st” that will “bring the U.S. into a bombing campaign” against the Syrian regime.
The attack occurred on August 21st. …..’

Wabbit just cancelled the order for a new Leupold ‘scope. Any company which is too rude, too disorganized and too effing slack to send a simple email telling the customer the status of his order (especially when the item is out of stock and they don’t know when they can get it)  is too lame to bother with.
I’d sooner make the 700km round-trip to Townsville and pick one up.
Bastards.
UPDATE: By way of contrast, I just got this email from Hall’s Firearms, Townsville:
‘G’day Keith
Our suppliers supplied Sako .243 instead of Tikkas as they mucked up my order from 3 months ago. Given the Sako is around $600 extra retail cost at same price for original tikka I supplied you a Sako. I hope this is okay , the Tikkas are still about 6 weeks away. The Sako is much better quality rifle , tikka is sakos entry level rifle. If its a drama will swap it for you when the Tikkas arrive but at least you can start shooting today!

this lying bastard and a whole lot of his fellow socialist weasels  will be gone. Chill the champagne, get the barbie ready…..

‘Abbott’s plan to rewrite history’
is the headline.
The facts:
‘TONY Abbott isn’t just planning a less Left future. He wants to review what he says is the national curriculum’s bias towards “one side of politics” in history studies.’
So, he’s not planning to “rewrite history” at all, merely to have it taught without the shameful leftist bias.
‘Critics of the curriculum say a trend towards political correctness means history classes are placing undue emphasis on indigenous culture, Asia and sustainability, with Anzac Day mentioned in the context of other national days such as Ramadan and Buddha Day.
“This would be a priority for us. The Coalition doesn’t have a black-armband view of Australia’s history,”
Damn right– And about time!

Bowing to muslims

The desk is one of the nation’s heirlooms. And this effing chimp treats it with disdain.
