Random Notes - Idle ThoughtsRegressive Left puts bigotry and militant Islam on a pedestal — Peter Baldwin, The Australian
Former Hawke and Keating government minister and member of the left, Peter Baldwin, comes out swinging against the left and doesn’t miss. Make no mistake these people are the rebirthed 1930’s, hissing, spitting and snarling jackbooted fascist thugs and attack dogs. They are the new Brown/Green Shirts with the same agenda.
“…..According to the PC mindset, someone who openly or even privately challenges core tenets of identity politics is not just wrong but morally depraved.

Green-Left’ stifling democracy with threats, tantrums on plebiscite — Jennifer Oriel, The Australian
Meet the new fascists. Meet the new jackbooted, hissing, spitting and snarling, Green/Brown Shirts.
“..The Left was once a constructive force for public reason powered by free thought and speech, objective scholarly inquiry, logic and the art of rhetoric. But in the 21st century, the Left has become what it once fought; a stifling orthodoxy of irrational establishment conformists who dominate by means of oppression and rule from above without reason. It is the embodiment of a negation. It negates freedom. It negates universal law. It negates the scientific method by replacing reason with subjective emotion and political correctness in scholarly inquiry, public debate and jurisprudence.

What’s that you were saying Bill Shorten about unleashing the hate and bile and toxic sludge?

What Thinking Australians Are Thinking — Friday September 16

No doubt about the Greens. They just make it so easy to loathe them. (I guess they’d regard that as hate speech)
Dastyari fesses up about that bizarre relationship which was in fact, for him, quite normal and just the usual modus operandi
“..Basically, in Canberra he had followed procedure that had been standard at NSW Labor’s headquarters in Sussex Street, Sydney. A bill to pay? Find a party donor to cover it..”
