Random Notes - Idle ThoughtsFidel Castro’s legacy of murder and repression whitewashed by the Left — Janet Albrechtsen — The Australian
When the ABC examines the topic of its bias, it attempts to reframe the debate to be more generally about media bias; this is nonsense. Only the ABC is required to be unbiased and show a multiplicity of views.
The ABC pretends to be representative of a variety of views but uses fake morality to censor views with which it disagrees.
Barely a month ago, the ABC was keen to air Amnesty International’s latest report into the island of Nauru. But Aunty’s go-to-group and its latest report into another island, Cuba, was not mentioned when Castro died
The Left — Hoist on their own petard (again)
Random Note — Idle Thought #197,651 m– False News

Why is the left lauding Fidel? — American Thinker
So what did he and his revolution really accomplish? How different is Cuba of Castro from Cuba of Fulgencio Batista? Batista’s gang was replaced by the Castros and their gang. Batista secret service was replaced by Fidel’s thugs. Rich landowners were replaced by party apparatchiks.
The West’s Foes, Foreign & Domestic — Kevin Donnelly, Quadrant
Instead of acknowledging the strengths and benefits of a heritage dating back to ancient Greece and Rome, the Left rails against a culture it denigrates as eurocentric, misogynist, imperialistic, racist and rapaciously self-serving. Is it any wonder common cause has been made with Islam? “(the Left’s) carping negativity continues to thrive. Using neo-Marxist categories of exploitation and oppression to find ‘victims’ of their own country’s mendacity, as a device to whip it – so Australia becomes racist, cruel to refugees, misogynist, homophobic and increasingly riven by inequality. The tropes endure, with Islam the current exploited and oppressed repository of virtue.” And the school curriculum is also being subverted by the cultural-left.
The Progressive Disintegration: The self-destruction of so many failed progressive gods.– Bruce Thornton
These layabouts have become used to throwing tantrums whenever they don’t like something or they feel “unsafe.” Most of them are spoiled brats, the pampered detritus of the middle class. But don’t forget the Alinskyite activists who manipulate these juveniles and bus them in on George Soros’ dime. These two-bit Leninists are adept at using “useful idiots” in order to further their aim of destroying America’s political and social order.

Random Note #195,742 — Government needs to remember — it’s the narrative, stupid — Peta Credlin
When Ted Kennedy was asked why he was running for President in the democrat primaries against incumbent Jimmy Carter in 1980, the response was one very long, embarrassing, cringe and squirm inducing silence. He had nothing to say. It was this incident displaying a lack of preparedness to answer the most basic of questions that betrayed a Kennedy dynastic, entitlement mindset that killed off and blew up his candidacy. In other words he was running because he was running. It was a family expectation. Ditto Clinton.
