Andrew Bolt's Blog,27/9/15; Remember Abbott "pillock of the Pacific"; Bolt loves Sam Newman but you have to pay to know why; Bolt the UN and "free speech"; I'm going to start my own party Bolt's spear threat to all of us; Obama and free speech;
A mutual love fest between Haddley and Bolt built around how I do my thing from my perspective and nobody elses it's typical Andrew Bolt. The one truth but his self deception that he got here as a combination of hard work and luck.
A self confessed non gregarious introvert who admits he's not part of popular culture never has been and never will be and who has always been a failure at small talk the talk that binds. The talk that cements families, friends and basically society together. Talk in fact the teaches kids to share and do so from an early age. Bolt is a self admitted isolate who unfortunately is sure of his opinions and has been spoiled because he's employed to write them simply because they extreme, conservative and fit the business model Rupert Murdoch's News Corp set up not because they are well informed or intelligent bur simply because they are right wing and contentious.
Bolt's self indulgent perspective says some commonsense and obvious things such as kids aren't racist by nature of course they're not they are taught to be. It's a lesson learnt when constantly exposed to it both soft and hard. Bolt obviously hasn't a clue what happened to his aboriginal mate who he holds up as proof that he wasn't a racist. That may be so in Tarcoola but it isn't today. He has no idea what happened to Danny but what's more to the point he isn't that interested and is hardly likely to invite him home today . Bolt was born here but recognizes that he hasn't indulged in most forms of Australian popular culture yet he disparages multiculturalism demands stricter immigration laws ,assimilation policies and specifically ones that limit Muslims into the country. His ban would says some 35+ different enthnicities culturally diverse groups from Bosnians to Somalis are non welcome simply on the basis of their faith that they are Muslim. Despite the fact that Muslims have been a part of Australian history and landscape for 200 years.
Bolt's cultural outlook narrow demanding Australia to be Judeo- Christian and European. He however claims he's agnostic however there is no such thing as an agnostic Muslim who will always remain suspect. Catholics were seen in the same light once by the Protestant power holders of this nation. Bolt reflects that today when he begrudges the Pope's influence over ideas that don't fit Bolt's narrow Conservative views. He's anti pluralist and does not celebrate difference rails against the problems he says multiculturalism created. How is it 4 Australian cities are voted amongst the most livable in the world?
Despite Andrew Bolt's singular and divisive perspective of what's occurring in this country. He never even for a moment considers he might be wrong. That in fact we are admired for being a mixed progressive and mongrel Culture. However our archaic social institutions haven't kept up with the changes that have occurred. How is it that some $50 mill wages have been witheld from a generation aborigines for over 100 years and even the governments of today are in a hurry to do something about it but would it seems prefer to brush it under the carpet. That one act alone prevented people from having bank accounts, saving and establishing a credit record enabling them to get a loan and progress. Bolt has a simple explanation their culture held them back and it's their own fault. He simply refuses to understand the world from anyone elses shoes but his own and that's his but more so our greatest danger. Yes there are Andrew Bolt's among aborigines too single minded bigots who are held back by their narrow focus. However they are on a different pay scale from Bolt generally. They feel and know why they have been held and in most cases they are right that it's the Andrew Bolt's of our world and their opinions that form our social and political structures..

Remember when Abbott was was appointed "pivot of the pacific" He gave up the 70 years of influence Radio Australia had in the region by cutting the ABC's budget by $200 mill. He in effect handed the Chinese control of the media in Fiji ,Vanuatu etc on a plate. Abbott did nothing in the Pacific he believed his title was pillock not pivot of the Pacific. Even the Russian came sailing past laughing at him. The Chinese have dominated Australia not with military threats but commercial ones and it showed in Abbott's kow-towing. We however saw a gorilla when it came to the Ukraine and the Middle East. They were of no commercial concern and on the other side of the planet.
Our economy whether dependent on China or not is or should be more robust than just mining and Turnbull has taken the opportunity to let the Chinese know that we don't do everything with hat in hand. Turnbull is certainly not the noisy defender of the Ukraine nor will he be as gung ho as Abbott in wanting to send troops to the Middle East for the sole purpose of looking good at home. Abbott literally offended our nearest neighbour Indonesia who are now celebrating his removal and did nothing politically in the Pacific that wasn't commercial. China at least knows we are more than just commercial hand holders.
As for Troll Peter BH's belief the media were against Abbott in 2013 he produces an ABC report that's little more than the equivalent of a Hansard document recording the event it certainly wasn't the opinion piece that Peter BH makes it out to be. The ABC didn't mention a gaffe it did mention however mention China's warnings to Abbott to stay out of the area and he did. Abbott created his own gaffes to report them according to Bolt was bias. Hansard needs editing as well.New PM opens doors overseas
Doors firmly closed with Tony Abbott as prime minister have mysteriously swung open.

" If the UN welcomes you, time to check your bearings." Andrew Bolt
These are the words commonly heard from the mouths of fascists both on the left and right. It's no surprise coming from Andrew Bolt an isolationist in a globalized world. UNHCR envoy coming to investigate our detention centers has cancelled his trip as Abbott put laws in place preventing anybody connected with our detention centers from speaking about them under threat of 2 years jail. Bolt advocate of free speech is silent.

How
much posturing will we continue to hear from these dissatisfied camp followers or losers of the Liberal party. Allan is after media revenge trying to take the head off Niki Savva. Any wonder some believe there's a civil war being conducted on the right. Bolt is
declaring himself to be a true individualist Liberal the sort that Abbott
forced to tow the line when leader and shut up if they disagreed.
Bolt the braggart talks as if he's
an alpha male and could start an opposition Consevative Party and split the now wayward
Liberals with the snap of his fingers. However even the disenchanted
Abbott wouldn't join him. Bolt in fact is a limp dick with a voice, the opposite of
Abbott , and not the alpha male that would inspire anyone. Allan and Bolt represent the unrealistic chorus of losers that claim to be the
dissatisfied souls of a days gone by era who will lunch and in fact do nothing. Another of their group isHalal Linked To Terrorism By Complex Series Of Imaginary Connections In Cory Bernardi’s Head, Enquiry Finds
Bolt will do Murdoch's bidding behind the scenes rather than his own. He
will try to push Turnbull to and early election and as such is laying
the ground to be his critic and to have Morrison step up for Rupert. Just wait for Bolt to lavish praise on the man he called a traitor.

Bolt tells us all our cultural and social institutions have largely been taken over by the left. Arts , Law, Health, Education etc why? Largely because they promote a form of critical thinking and that offends Bolt's conservative sensibilities. Like Abbott Bolt wants to know and see "whose side you're on?". We all need to be more assimilated. The ideal society being The Trueman Show.
Bolt would have all our institutions monitored by conservative boards sympathetic to not the government of the day but to conservative governments only. Free speech yes but with ideology being uniform rather than diverse. It's best monitored like the Art's when the purse strings were given to George Brandis. If deemed inappropriate simply cut their funding.
It's in an atmosphere of limited boundaries that speech is free for Bolt. Journalism courses need to eliminate the teaching of critical thought. Comedy and humor needs to be directed at those against government rather than at government. The Festival of Dangerous Thoughts monitored needs parameters or funding cut. Bolt talks freedom but walks cultural censorship and education. Learning in education is too random but training is the right form of education. It's why Bolt isn't a journalist. It appears after being kicked out of university never was a journalist.
