The left try to move the goal post closer and closer to the left, in order for the normal/centre to look more right and the extreme left to look less extreme.

It is well known and failing. That is the reason you are upset.

Yep. In a world awash with political correctness, affirmative action, the elevation of minorities and designated victims to hero status and the marginalisation of any conservative ideals, it's hard to keep a straight face when saying the world is 'hard right'.

Political correctness?
Affirmative action?
Elevation of minorities and designated victims to hero status?
The marginalisation of conservative ideals?

I hope you haven't been idulging in Deep South, Bible-belt propaganda again, Wesley. Where exactly do they do all this?

And then they play dumb.

You ARE playing aren't you?

Murdoch is Liberal Media?

Liberal in the Hard Right Australian Liberal Party?

Did I mention Murdoch? Did I mention the Liberal party?

Media in Australia is close to being monopolised by Murdoch.

So Australians are not that exposed to world liberal media outside the public network and companies like fairfax.

Yes, but it might help to become more equal opportunity, don't you think?

You do realise that EEO is not affirmative action?
It is the hiring the "best and brightest".

If you failed to gain a position with an EEO employer then I'd suggest that you simply weren't up to scratch in comparison with the other applicants.

So why the need to state it?
Surely picking the best person for the job is implied.

'Political correctness' is a RW invention. A scornful phrase to scoff at what is only good manners. No reasonable person would want to tar a whole ethnic group because one of that ethnicity has broken the law.

No reasonable person should have any objection to a lore that states that all other things being equal the black or female candidate should get the position. Because black and female HAVE been heavily discriminated against. Haven't they?

'designated victims to hero status' ? Like JFK you mean?

Quote:

and the marginalisation of any conservative ideals,

Listen I'm all for wearing a tie, sometimes. I have two tweed jackets and brogues. I don't think anybody should go out without enough money to buy me a drink and I hardly ever eat with my fingers.

Quote:

it's hard to keep a straight face

Isn't it just

Quote:

For arguments sake, lets say that governments ARE trending to the right - could this perhaps be a reflex BY THE PEOPLE against the proliferation of numerous unelected, shamelessly left wing organisations, such as the UN and the liberal media?

Yes let's 'for arguments sake' say that. Could it be that the RICH have so much accumulated that they need to buy really big toys, like telecom and the government?

Conservatives I have no problem with. It's RICH and fascist NeoCon Mo****f***ers I Have a problem with. Did you see what I did there? Pandering to your sensibilities that was Grin
