Random Notes - Idle ThoughtsTo Be An Adult — American Thinker
This is a good read if for no other reason than because it is so true. The Peter Pan Syndrome — males who remain boys all their lives — has long been with us. But now what I call “Aging Adolescents” (AAs) include as many females as males, and may be a majority in the younger generations. And they are raising, if one dares use that word, children who will replicate themselves as lifelong children. This threatens the economic, fiscal, and political well-being of our society and culture. Children are unable to lead, function in, or defend a society.

When considering the demographic and psychographic profile of the NRL supporter base, I wonder how many would have even heard of rapper Macklemore. This raises the question(s) as to why he was seen as a fit for half time entertainment at the Grand Final. Who is the NRL targeting and what is their understanding of their supporter base? The old marketing adage is to know your market. It’s quite apparent that the NRL has no idea.

Without a scintilla of ambiguity and to enthusiastic and predictable applause from the packed audience, Gessen says that “fighting for gay marriage involves lying about what we’re going to do with marriage when we get there.” She continues “We lie that the institution of marriage is not going to change and that is a lie. The institution of marriage is going to change and it should change and I don’t think it should exist”

Seriously worth a watch. Bill O’Reilly back on Fox for a one off interview with Sean Hannity. Together they traverse much the same ground and range of issues that are going on here in Australia, particularly identity politics along with the grievance mongering and associated industry and the way the hard left in an endeavour to derail the country, are trying to rewrite, whitewash and photo shop history and shut down any opinion with which they disagree.

Is that true —
The Grand Final is on Sunday but the NRL are already scoring own goals
Following in the virtue signalling, preening and politically correct tradition of the AFL, with a captive audience of 84,000, the NRL is determined to shove the politics of gay marriage down the throats of ordinary mums and dads who just want to have a pie and a beer and watch the footy.
“..Macklemore is set to perform at the NRL Grand Final this weekend, and it’s now been confirmed that he’ll perform his Ryan Lewis co-written marriage equality anthem ‘Same Love’ before kick-off. The song, which was released back in 2012 as the US continued to push for marriage equality, went on to reach number one on the Australian charts..”
Identity politics takes us back to the shame culture of the past — Jeremy Sammut, The Australian
Like fleas on a dog, the basic thrust and distilled essence of identity politics is about finding, mining and exploiting grievance. Convincing people who never thought of themselves as a victim, that they are indeed, a victim. It’s about creating, exploiting and servicing the newly acquired constituency then moving on to the next target group. That at its core, is the raison d’être of the left.
“…This is why the identity warriors invest so much time and effort finding and backing causes and issues that can validate their identity and status — whether by demanding changes to marriage, or by demanding changes to statues of colonial explorers and governors. Identity politics is really about the politics of moral embarrassment. It is, therefore, ultimately a primitive way of conducting politics…”
The ABC
Jackboot In Rainbow Hues — Quadrant
In this debate as in so much else, like the climate and energy debate and fake news, Australia and the West generally has entered a sideshow hall of mirrors where everything is stretched, distorted and upside down. Things are not what they seem. “..Totalitarian tendencies in those who increasingly dominate public life in the West – let’s call them the progressive elitists have been pointed out before. Marriage fakery and gender confusion should be seen as parts of the elitist push. There are other parts, too, in other fields. (think climate) — Confusing, distorting, reversing and destroying the meanings of words was a major characteristic of communism, as much as the constant threat of state terror. The elitists in Australia also depend on word forgeries. “Homophobe” has become a term for the hysterical condemnation of ordinary people, and it is as manipulative as any communist cant..”

“This agreement is good for the United States, good for our allies, and good for the safety of the entire world,” Mr. Clinton said in a brief appearance in the White House press room this afternoon. “It’s a crucial step toward drawing North Korea into the global community.” — “The agreement goes to concerns we’ve had about the North Korean nuclear program with respect to past activities, current activities and future activities,”
