For the first time, Western nations are being subjected to widespread social engineering, much of it publicly funded. The problem with progressivism of this kind is its moral vanity. Instead of creating a society of equal opportunity, where people are encouraged to become more self-sufficient and free thinking, Leftist elites believe the only nation worth having is one in which every citizen speaks and thinks like them.

A classic illustration—-Compassion’s fine but ignoring fiscal reality won’t pay the bills — Nick Cater, The Australian
it’s more about being seen to weep and bleed and spend big money on an issue with no attention to detail or whether your idea will work. In other words it’s all about emotion. About, in this case, how Kate Ellis wants to be perceived as compassionate rather than the nuts and bolts and viability at the pointy end of delivery of the actual childcare policy.
Random Note #189,974 — A history lesson for one, H R Clinton.
On election night 1948, most Americans went to bed thinking the Governor of New York and Republican candidate Thomas Dewey would be sworn in as President. Guess what. Didn’t happen. Two weeks out from election day in 1980, the polls had Jimmy Carter back at Pennsylvania Ave he was so far in front of Reagan. Guess what. Didn’t happen.

Hillary Clinton embraces George Soros’ ‘radical’ vision of open-border world — Washington Times
A hard left, billionaire anarchist with mendacious intent on issues like drug legalisation, no borders and global government, who has been able to insert himself into the centre of American politics with his funding of a myriad of motherhood sounding community activist groups, Black Lives Matter being a recent example. In the US he was a mover and shaker in the “voting rights” movement founding the Voting Rights Institute in 1994. His mission and strategy like that of 60’s activists on welfare and voter enrolment, Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven, is to overload and swamp the electoral system with bogus registrations. In Australia he is the godfather of GetUp.
What Thinking Australians Are Thinking
Too many on the Left and in the human rights community are more concerned about the protection of metaphorical safe spaces within our spheres of civil discourse — where precious racial sensitivities are never pricked — rather than being willing to let our modern-day prophets such as cartoonist Bill Leak hold up a necessary cultural mirror to us. While the sins of the past have a residual effect, today the social shackles bound to our first peoples are not victimhood or entrenched racism, but the self-inflicted social scourges of intergenerational welfare, alcoholism and domestic violence. And, as it has always been throughout history, it is children who reap the whirlwind.
