Enough of the gloom and doom, Wabbit has just put more beer in the fridge and won’t surface until 0300 tomorrow. Probably.

    • I’m not sure she has a conscience to ease, Mawm. One of the most despicable figures ever to emerge from Hollywood, and that’s saying a lot.

  5. Good article in the Australian that I think more than a few here will agree with. Will post the complete item as it is behind a pay wall.

    “The Left’s gravy train derailing “

    Maurice Newman

    IN the battle for ideas it is now clear the Left controls the commanding heights. In everything from the economy to sport, the prevailing direction is left. After decades of stereotyping, indoctrination and the clever use of language, Western voters have been conditioned to accept the beneficence of the state.

    Politically this has set the stage for governments to see “market failure” in everything. It has become an excuse for an avalanche of regulations and regulators and allowed leftist intellectuals to incessantly bash the very essence of “capitalism”.

    They have successfully implanted the notion that free market capitalism is synonymous with profiteering, greed, unequal wealth distribution and, the entrenchment of privilege which must be restrained.

    Yet there is no competition commissioner to control the predatory actions of the state, or regulator to rein in reckless central bankers.

    Voter acquiescence has been bought by both sides of politics, but conservatives everywhere have been politically outsmarted. They are apologetic when they should demand apologies.

    Rather than be true to their values, they have too easily rolled over and allowed the Left to set the agenda on economics and social issues, incapable of arguing an internally consistent position. Quite often conservative policies are indistinguishable from their progressive counterparts.

    This is a systematic problem, not a grand conspiracy:

    It isn’t necessary to engage in conspiracy theory to see how the Left has successfully infiltrated Western political thinking.

    It starts with the fertile hearts and minds of the young. Teachers’ colleges, teachers’ unions and education bureaucrats have colluded over time in curriculums setting, gradually shifting the emphasis away from maths and hard science to the softer social sciences and leftist ideology.

    The failure of academia and the soft left media:

    Multiple examples of the abandonment of scientific rigour and ethics in the interests of political propaganda continue to come to light. Blogger Joanne Nova, (joannenova.com.au) highlights a peer-reviewed leftist paper by psychology professor Stephan Lewandowsky (University of Western Australia), et al, which caused researcher Jose Duarte to be “flummoxed … why a paper so weak was written, but more so why it was ever published …” Yet while demonstrated as containing serious errors, the paper has not been withdrawn. Such is the audacity of the Left.

    In similar vein Nova exposes the ABC for telling us that the Bureau of Meteorology claims Queensland has experienced “its worst drought in 80 years”, yet according to the BoM’s own website, the current drought is the worst in only nine years. But a compliant media would rather an inconvenient truth remain untold than spoil the left’s narrative.

    Maurice Newman is the chairman of the Prime Minister’s Business Advisory Council. These views are his own.

  6. Drinking beer by the gallon at the moment, due to the heat in Auckland. Tried Moose Chocolate brand, yummmy!!!! Never enough. Also Guiness. for depth.

  8. Meanwhile, mostly under the radar, the Left continues to erode freedom. They don’t rely exclusively on the Muslims to provide the excuses. Have a look at:
    http://www.bigbrotherwatch.org.uk/home/2015/01/report-entry-allowed-number-local-authority-staff-power-enter-home-workplace.html
    for umpteen ways in which the Englishman’s home is no longer his castle. Each power gained as a tiny salami slice, but put together …

    These aggressors are in for the long term. Their work is done over more than one generation, and few pay any attention to how things were, and how they could have been improved rather than destroyed.

  9. Yokel:

    In the words of Rush Limbaugh, the new radical socialist movement on the block that is called in America (where it was created by the New Left in the 60s and 70s) by various names like “liberalism” or “progressivism” is totalitarianism by stealth…a slow motion coup against freedom.

    Of course, there are still many centers of resistance to the Leftist assault against liberty, Crusader Rabbit is one such fortress out of thousands on the Internet alone; however, the efforts have been largely defensive in nature and acting within the peaceful boundaries of written or unwritten constitutional law.

    A law that is no longer recognized by the Left as any restriction on their actions.

    • I suspect it goes back to 1923 and the foundation of the Frankfurt School, or perhaps even earlier to 1905 and the foundation of the Fabian Society.

    • :shock: Much bigger! If it blows up, watch for the Scumbag Squatter refusing to resupply Israel. I predict he will.

    • Makes perfect sense, what with all the orgies and wife-swapping and boozing that goes on in cruise ships. :twisted:

  16. I’d like to think so too, Gantt. But the technique is to first pick off a few and make examples of them in order to intimidate the others. It usually works.

  17. There would be a question at the back of my mind always, though….
    Is it worth dying for a herd of sheeple who won’t make the effort to be free themselves?
