I'm anti-war
I'd much rather see a pollies head explode than 1 to 2 million ordinary people suffer for a few's ego & meglomania.
But of course that sort of thing is illegal.


Thats a shockingly naive attitude. what do u do when u see a woman being attacked by a man? say 'im anti violence'? and when someone comes at you with an axe do you stand there because you dont believe in fighting?

You arent anti-war... why dont you try and redefine it correctly.


I think most here(yes even you longy) can understand the point I was getting across without having to be lead by the nose.
Except of course those who read & believe Bolt, & I don't give a rats whether they can understand or not


no thats not true. saying you are 'anti-war' is like saying you are anti-disease. it has no point and adds no value to a debate. almost NO BODY chooses war as an option ro all but the most serious of situations. but to just say you are 'anti-war' in this context means precisely NOTHING. it adds nothing to the debate, says nothing about you and your ACTUAL opinion.

I'm also anti-war. as is John Howard. Im also anti-violence, but it didnt stope me attacking two sudanese assaulting a girl.

Was their nationality relevant?


Surely "two men attacking a girl" would have sufficed to illustrate your point.

What garbage.




you obviously werent on yahoo where the majority of lefties were dead set against the attack on Hussain..like it or not.. as some on here are still proving to be...even though kevin was privy to the war council and gave his blessing as the said shadow Foreign Minister,

at the least provocation they would drag up the War in Iraq.. this was of course when kevin was the great messiah.and all was well in the Labor camp..lol

they would rather have seen him back on his throne..than see him dead.. ask any ex yahoo member.

Howard was/is the villian/ Hussain the martyr..thats the way I read it.

not one said it was a good thing to see the back of him.I guess history will sort it all out in the end.

Cods if you care to look Saddam was a despot for many years not just when he invaded kuwaite.
If you look you'll find that the gas used against the Kurds was supplied by the US CIA as was most of his weapons,I wouldn't be surprised to find out he ran most of his plans pre Kuwaite past them.
The key key phrase is "he's a bastard but he our bastard"
It is this sort of doublestandard that doesn't sit easy with people such as myself who you would class as lefty.
I'd be interested to know how you reconcile it?

It must really annoy the greens supporters trying to change the voting booth outcomes.
The greens primary vote declines but hey let's try and spin our way out of this and convince some that we actually increased our primary vote.
Hey the facts don't lie.
The greens primary vote dropped.


Partly because they failed to live up to their own party's core-ethics post the 2010 federal election.

Bob Brown bats for Wikileaks Julian Assange, (as I do too), though opposes public opinion in other areas, ie, Andrew Bolt?

Plus, most impoverished students don't approve of compulsory student union fees ...a little under-handed deal Greens senator Sarah Hansen-Young and Labors Simon Crean made under the bench just before the election to help secure preference votes.

I doubt Greens student base vote would have been overly impressed with this.


I love it when she changes costume and answer herself. Grin

well you may well be right smithy... you will have to prove it though as thats the first I have ever read on this subject..the yanks orchestrated it all is news to me!!!!.. however if you care to read me again.. that isnt what i was referring too and you being an oldie from yahoo well know that.......

most from the left gave us righties hell when rudd and Co first got in... in fact I dont think there would have been many topics they didnt bring up the WAR IN IRAQ.. even calling Howard a murderer.. and few other nasty things... that at least I havent seen thrown at gillard over this catastrophy, thankfully I do hope we never stoop to that level.

a mlot of people from yahoo were very much for Hussain.. maybe not yourself in particular..but many of them were and they resented Howard for us going there.which means they would rather have Hussain alive than dead.

dont worry a few people back in England in the dark days of WW11 wished Churchill dead and Hitler to win..it happens. it doesnt mean we are the same. just some are stranger than others.

how have you been smithy anyway??..good I hope.

"even calling Howard a murderer"

Whether that was said or not, no-one treated Sadam Hussein as a martyr.

Your spinning is getting too convoluted.

I think GALP (Labor & Greens) are desperately grabbing at bitter straws, when attempting to re-direct media attention and stifle public opinion concerning the bigger issues they're conveniently side-stepping.

Who's responsible for our nation, Andrew Bolt or Julia Gillard?

Bolts blog only reflects a widely held public consensus, which is this government are absolutely atrocious and should be held accountable for their actions, or inactions in some cases.

They sacked Rudd for a lot less! Roll Eyes


In fact some might argue that by not stating the obvious, and or insisting Gillard should be sacked/resign herself suggests this country and it's people accept the wayward deeds of it's flawed government therefore we as individuals and as a nation of democratic people have almost a duty to let the world know we are not at all at ease with our current governments UNDEMOCRATIC process, and that what our government stands for or represents is not at all consistent with the views held by the Australian people at large.

In other words, please excuse our PM, she's a bit loopy, and please don't judge us in accordance with this lunatics failings, as we don't agree with her either.

Fair enough?

Smiley


Gillard embarrassed herself and made wild accusations concerning Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, when claiming he had committed crimes, 'in her opinion'...so why cant others argue that she should resign 'in their opinion' ?

Then, not to be outdone by Bolt, halfwit Bob Brown pipes up in Gillards defence (shock horror shock) and argues that Bolt should resign himself for sharing 'his opinion' also.

This country and it's government are an absolute joke, and you wonder why nothing is getting done?

I'm sorry, but if Bolt should resign, then shouldn't Bob Brown and Gillard for their having shared their 'own opinions' also?...or are politicians allowed to go around making wild and false accusations about anyone they please, including Australians in strife overseas they should be supporting not slandering in order to suit their own political agenda?

Eye for an eye.

Cool
