Blame the world, not the rapist. Not if he’s a “refugee”

According to these two Right wingers Christ really was the ultimate lefty Fwit. Part of the mob that trashed the money lenders coming to the temple. Running around washing the feet of hookers and even  forgiving Barabas for his multitude of crimes before he died. What can you expect from an IVF child in dubious circumstances on the edge of welfare. Brought up by his step father Joe not under the most desirable circumstances like Bolt's kids.   Bolt and Blair believe the man deserved all he got.

There is no understanding of Christianity for Bolt or Blair why? They don't seem to be able to rap their brains about the notion of the other cheek that Karsten Nordal Hauken had. As far as this planet is concerned the meek are there to be used not excused. "Norwegian leftist politician Karsten Nordal Hauken was raped by a Somalian refugee. Now he’s pleading for his rapist not to be deported..."

  Bolt tells us that our  core European culture is Western  and Christian that revenge is not part of our culture. It's a central tenet of Islam. It seems however he has a better understanding and appreciation of Anders Brevik than he has of Hauken. I thought revenge fitted atheist lefties who are very clear who is on the other side of the barricades the right wing godbotherers. However it appears war firebrand behaviour and and thuggery by those claiming authority has really always been the realm of the conservatives when they find themselves between a rock and a hard place and peace the realm of the left. Yes principles clash when some say they are the winners of a rigged game and the majority disagree.

 

 

 

No, Aboriginal society was not one to wish on women

Obviously Bolt has no idea of the power of women in Aboriginal Culture because he's never asked. But he believes Tony Thomas  the man from Quadrant to be the expert on things that matter " Do not read on if facts that contradict your romantic fancies make you feel hurt or humiliated.  And beware: the kowtowing of authorities to some barbaric traditions even now is shocking." Have either of these two dullards even spoken to or  asked Aboriginal women of their understanding of their own culture. That the children even the boys were their responsibility until 16 when they were introduced to men's business.  That teaching the children who they were and the land around them was entirely their responsibility in those early informative years. No Tony Thomas prefers the diaries and impressions of Europeans. 

If Thomas  wanted to understand Aztec culture he no doubt would have turned to the diaries of Bernal Diaz a Spanish Conquistador for his understanding of that ancient civilization. He'd aks Custer about the Indian culture and read Kipling for the explanation of Hindus. Had he done that he would have failed history anthropology and  the social sciences  today. It's why they claim there was no stolen generation because their history is absolutist. What's strange is Bolt still says he's an indigenous Australian and more so than Noel Pearson or any Aboriginal younger than him. consequently he owns the right to that history he is the dawn of time the dream time. He deserves to be locked away.

 

 

Baa baa, the writers said

Bolt is repeating himself he used the phrase "cookie cutter opinions" twice this week  isn't that cookie cutter? " Collectivist politics naturally attract the weak and the mediocre, who naturally need and often seek the protection of the mob." Is Bolt referring to John Howard" guests as being weak and mediocre and needing protection from "the mob"?Socialist Classics (284 books) - Goodreads

One needs to be reminded that Socialist Literature hasn't the history but it's effect on the world has been far greater than anything Bolt has listed. 

 

 

 

 

 

Why reward thugs like this?

Bolt hates real journalism it needs to verify facts and is unable to distort them like Bolt can. " Invasion " Police were "forced" to "protect" against "thugs" deal with a "foul mouthed mob" Was the violence just words? Even Bolt doesn't mention who was hurt in the violence one can only assume it was the protestors. This is what we can expect from the Bolt Report distortion,misinformation and loose facts.

 

 

 

Can children afford your freedom to change what marriage means?

This is an ad for Rowan Dean's Spectator. Bolt needs Rowan for his Bolt Report.

I thought the plebiscite on marriage equality was a vote?  Jeremy Summut seems to think otherwise. Greg Sheridan as conservative if not more so than Summut seems to think so too. It's what he said on Q&A on Monday anyway. Those who disagree with the plebiscite simply do so because of it's $500,000,000 cost. Every poll in the country suggests the the vote is unwarranted at a time when these conservatives are calling to cut spending.

"The routine application of the campaign slogans of bigotry, homophobia, and religious fundamentalism by marriage equality activists simply seeks to marginalise and silence contrary opinions…" Isn't this what's been going on since landing in Australia. LGBTs were given no voice. Now that the law accepts  same sex partners can and do adopt children why is it Summut  wants these children to bear some sort of shame simply to benefit what, his prejudice? He wants the children to be denied the legal rights marriage brings with it.

Yes research shows the children of same sex marriages have better out comes than those from heterosexual ones. There is less divorce better educational outcomes and less domestic violence. They also tend to be raised by parents with higher degrees of social mobility and less domestic violence. The fact is there is no evidence that a traditional heterosexual marriage is the better arrangement for raising kids.

However as I said this just an advertisement for Rowan Dean's Spectator. Is it any wonder Bolt runs from school PTA meetings if these are his heart felt ideas?

 

 

 

 

Losing the conservatives

I hate to break the news Bolt but you and the conservatives do not even make up a substantial number of Australians you really need to get a grip and accept that. However you sound more like  spoilt brats that believe they owned the bat and ball and want to now spoil the game for every one else. " I think his position on most issues which are not what you would consider to be conservative positions." M.Newman on Turnbull not doing what he wants ."what you do is to cut your cloth according to your measure and you don’t simply risk everything on the potential growth" MNewman. So what Newman is essentially saying is business men who take risks like say Murdoch has are fools. Business is not a risk exercise. Frankly Newman is talking crap. The very nature of the history of business in capitalism is  taking risks and being entrepreneurial. A risk less business is a job. Furthermore  most people who do hold capital aren't risk takers they don't create jobs or make GNP grow. They simply farm capital gains and rent and collect non productive profit. Simply put Newman is not a business adviser.

 

 

 

Turnbull cannot afford this complacency

Bolt needs Turnbull more than Turnbull needs him. The Media need Turnbull.

 On first observation it's long at first glance ergo it can't be Bolt it must be a troll and most likely Peter BH.  "I have magnanimously offered Malcolm Turnbull 10 top tips to winning the election he now seems set to lose." Bolt's magnanimous generosity only extends to those who subscribe to News Corp. They aren't free!! If the aren't fit for the public to see I suspect they are worthless noone would suggest Malcolm should pay any attention to Bolt's continuous shit stirring for the sake of those LNPs in marginal seats. Turnbull's personal popularity remains twice that of Shorten and Abbott at least. These Delcons are hopeful for a loss rather than even splitting and forming their own party. Natural wreckers do they remind you of any one whose career has always been a wrecking ball hint TA . Yes so VOTE LABOR the lessons have been learnt. Stop the delcon stupidity in it's tracks.

" Note Kenny’s last point. Now understand why the Left is so frantically trying to drive Tony Abbott out of Parliament? " Well strangely it's Michael Kroger, Vanstone and Reith and not so much the desperate left. But as fr as Kroger is concerned Bolt has remained silent

 

By whom?

Petty jealousy from a petty man who tells us whenever he's mentioned even at a lunch.  Bolt hates Green.

 

 

Fantasy spending while the debt crisis worsens

 

 

Here we are again back to the future and the return of the Thatcher, Abbott Conservative political strategy"create panic" panic where and whenever you can. Light the fire of fear and throw fuel on it at every opportunity. We survived the GFC  and were voted the world's best economy and Wayne the best Treasurer. But no even back then Abbott and his conservatives where screaming the sky was falling in.  Because their first budget was a lead zeppelin Abbott declared the budget fixed.  However  now it's falling in again because oops, we can't say it's Abbott's fault or that he doubled the deficit. No it's still Labour's fault as if the LNP was never here . Turnbull the Leftie has joined where Labor left off not Abbott. They have forced even more spending on us. " We are living in a dangerous fantasy, paying ourselves billions of dollars of handouts with borrowed money, and neither side of politics has the guts to stop it:" Bolt. 

It's a pity about the Panama Papers and the scoop about Leighton Holdings  and bribery in the fossil fuel Industry which confirms white collar, corporate crime and corruption are far far greater handouts  to the corporate world for their failure to be prosecuted. That failure to act is the real welfare fraud never talked about. Trillions of dollars not billions have gone missing around the world and the governments of the largest economies have turned a blind eye. Why did Abbott sack 3,500 ATO staff? Staff skilled in the detection of company tax evasion? Who lobbied for that "spending cut" that caused untold revenue loss. Why is it the AFP  have always been under developed and under staffed in fraud squad and company crime squads?  "It’s as if Australians think that borrowed money will never have to be repaid, or that the lenders will never run short." Bolt. 

Why is it the ATO readily prosecutes individuals and small business chasing nickles and dimes but negotiates with Corporations asking them just how much they are willing or want to pay? The greatest uncollected debt starts at the top not the bottom and we cut the staff that audits it. No, a better example is that the worlds biggest banks and Wall st created the globes greatest financial collapse and they were bailed out by who the tax payers. Here is Bolt yet again declaring a crisis exists but demanding the ordinary Joe tax payer starting at the bottom to bail the government out and save them from having to collect the debt owed at the top. The fact is currently and each day it's being revealed that the greatest waste and theft from governments hasn't been from undeserving welfare recipients.

 How would Bolt react if News Corp's accountants declared an emergency at the Herald Sun that the chief accountant had ripped off  Millions and is in Mexico broke because he lost millions to James Packer at Crown. That Bolt and the staff will now have to  salary sacrifice 50% of their wages until the company can get back on it's feet and  not as a loan. Bolt reckons he'd be first in line to help out, bullshit. We don't have a spending problem we have a revenue problem revenue that's been spent and not by us the average citizen .The idea that conservatives are better money managers simply doesn't stack up Medibank was privatized the CEO's package went from$1.5m to $6.5 m great management and premiums went up 5% to pay for it. Is that trickle down or up?
