Criminals are, after all, Good People…Not — American Thinker

The lefts social engineering never seems to work out, does it? And they never seem to learn, do they? “…According to a recent news report, California has adopted a policy of increased leniency toward criminals. Unsurprisingly, violent crime in that state has significantly increased. Could anyone fail to make the connection between the leniency and the increased violence?”

Random Note #213,672 — An Absolute Disaster

The irony is rich. Listening to Liberals like Warren Entsch and others whining that changing leaders would be a disaster. You’re damn right about that. Check how your polling has been tracking. Check the result of the last election where your man took you to a one seat majority. Your change of leadership has indeed been an absolute disaster.

He added that locals distrusted the claims made by the ACF and AMCS. “It’s a basalt magnetite mix,” he said, describing the black sand. “It’s very heavy and magnetic in parts which is what Captain Cook discovered in 1770 when he sailed by the nearby Magnetic Island.

Its essence is the discarding of the worth of trad­ition and enshrining in law rules and procedures for contemporary cultural norms. It is best seen as the comprehensive politicisation of our culture. The Greens, the vanguard of progressive thinking in Australia, offer a clue to the next step.

Random Note — Young Home Buyers

Just thinking about young people and allowing them to use their super towards a deposit. How young is young? And just how much super would they have anyway?

So, they get the help up front when they need it and pay a tax further down the track when they’re in a better position to do so.
