Tony Abbott lectures Islam: calls Western culture “superior”
Former PM Tony “there will be no backgrounding or sniping” Abbott has delivered a sermon from the pulpit slamming Islam and warning of a “clash of civilisations” unless Islam undergoes what he calls “global reform.”
In a wide ranging interview with Sky News Abbott declared that “all cultures are not equal and, frankly, a culture that believes in decency and tolerance is much to be preferred to one which thinks that you can kill in the name of God, and we’ve got to be prepared to say that.”
During his 40 minute patriarchal rant, the former failed priest and self-professed devout catholic ignored the widespread failings of his own chosen religion – currently playing out in the Courts in the form of a Royal Commission into Child Sex Abuse within the catholic church – with his friend and mentor George Pell playing starring role.
While calling for a religious revolution within Islam and asserting the “superiority” of Western culture, it escaped Mr Abbott’s attention that a similar revolution may be required within the ranks of the catholic church.
Let he who is without sin.
Hardly renowned for self-reflection, Abbott took the opportunity to defend his own record as PM insisting that his government’s first budget, handed down by the treacherous Treasurer, “Smokin” Joe Hockey, was in fact – despite mass public outrage – “right and justifiable.”
“Now all of these things, I think, were justifiable and right,” he said.
“Obviously, in the circumstances of the aftermath of that budget, they struggled, but nevertheless they were all very defensible policies and I’m happy to continue to defend them.”
Mr Abbott has previously described the Opposition and Senate crossbench as “feral,” and said they needed to ask themselves why they did not pass the measures.
“What was so wrong with allowing our universities the freedom that they need to be the best in the world?” he said.
“What was so wrong with seeking a modest co-payment for visits to the GP?
“What was so wrong with saying that we are going to adjust the indexation method for pensions beyond the next election?”
The fact that these policies were widely rejected by the electorate seems lost on him.
However it’s to Mr Abbott’s credit that he insists on defending them as this simply reminds everyone why he had to go.
Mr Abbott also revealed in the 45-minute interview that he still had not made up his mind about retirement saying he had received “thousands and thousands” of messages urging him to remain in Parliament.
“I certainly haven’t resolved it,” he said. “I said back in mid-September that I would be talking to family and friends over the Christmas period.
“I have literally thousands and thousands of messages of support and encouragement.
“If I stay on in public life is a vocation, if I may say so; being a member of Parliament, including a backbench member of Parliament, is a noble and an honourable calling.”
I guess that high paying job offer in the private sector never eventuated.

We’ve just heard about the ‘Catholic Mafia’ in the police force refusing to allow any investigation into priestly paedophilia. The same Catholic mafia exists in our political system [both sides], no wonder nothing was done about it and people suffered for decades.
Separation of powers, the church, state and legal systems, appears to be non-existent, just fine lying words spouted to the peasants so they won’t revolt against their installed rulers, while their whole time is spent entrenching the collusion and corruption of those powers against the populace.
Just fkn go abbott, there is no public appetite for more bare-faced lying, plotting another govt overthrow or revenge politics, not many liked you before you savaged your way into power.
“”Just fkn go abbott””
Yes, that’s basically it. And probably what Talcum’s thinking too.
But it is quite entertaining having him rant and rave from the sidelines. It must be tough coming to terms with irrelevance.
You bet you are … you bet I am … shit happens … —————————————————— …

Greens leader Richard Di Natale told Sky News Mr Abbott was an embarrassment on the world stage.
‘He’s an incredibly divisive, destructive force within the Australian political landscape
‘The sooner Tony Abbott disappears from the Australian political scene, the better for him, the better for the Australian community,’ Senator Di Natale said.
Labor MP Ed Husic said politicians need to think carefully before making potentially divisive comments about one part of the population.
‘What they are saying to the public is that if you are of the Islamic faith, you are being hard-coded against Western values, which is garbage,’ Mr Husic told Sky News.

For some reason, on my daily constitutional this morning, it crossed my mind that the catlik system is actually set up to assist the kiddy fiddler priest … and any other wrongdoers …
… reconciliation (confession), call it what you will … involves spilling ya guts to a priest about wrongdoing (or what you consider wrongdoing – and there’s an important point), the priest absolves you … and tells you to wander of and do penance … ten hail Mary’s or whatever …
The problem with that, is the old fall back … “the flesh is weak” … ad infinitum nauseum it seems …
So it seems are the cardinals, archbishops, bishops, priests and deacons! And until the current Pope they were too …
Societies that tolerate stoning of adulters, whipping of rape victims, cutting hands of thieves, execution of gay men…well excuse me! But I kind of prefer the one we have here.
‘He’s an incredibly divisive, destructive force within the Australian political landscape
Good . That means he is doing his job.
Anything that causes you leftie deadbeats to be upset is a good thing.
…These radicals are why I profess the superiority of our culture. You would never see a Western civilisation being led by a tyrannical, bloodlusting relic from a forgotten time convinced of the undeniable infallibility of their own worldview and their blessed place on this Earth above their common man. That hasn’t happened since I left office.”
While roundly criticised for his claims, Abbott protested that you had to admit the superiority of Western cultures on certain issues.
“I think that’s fair to say. Some cultures are calling for killings. That’s terrible. Western culture wouldn’t do that except for the thousands of times it has and the times it still is now around the world.
“Still, killing is so brutal and Western civilisation is beyond that. We don’t order to kill. We just slowly oppress you until you can’t live…
Why do you people keep mentioning the guys name? If you want him to go away do not post about him.
But go Tony. Anything that gets the lefties upset is a good thing.
…For some reason, on my daily constitutional this morning, it crossed my mind that the catlik system is actually set up to assist the kiddy fiddler priest … and any other wrongdoers… …
That’s why they had an influx of paedophiles as priests, it was seen as a safe haven for their crimes and they could operate freely knowing they had the authority of the church for protection from any prosecution.
Gee, employers wouldn’t be able to do that surely?
ut I kind of prefer the one we have here.

Can we learn anything about tolerance of diversity? Or promotion of gay rights? or women’s rights ?

Yep, and some of their abhorrent habits are under the microscope by a Royal Commission, because we have a society that is willing to question and examine religions.
Which of the Islamic countries would set up a judicial enquiry to examine the practices of their religious leaders?
…and which parts of Islam would people.recommend we adopt?
The same amount as we should adopt of the catlik cause.
A BIG fucken ZERO!
Fine, and just as there is plenty of pointed criticism of christianity and catholics, I can’t understand why it is so objectionable to criticise islam.
Though I haven’t noticed the current pope advocating stoning adulters or throwing gay men off buildings. But please correct me it I’m wrong.
I can’t understand why it is so objectionable to criticise islam.
Nothing wrong with criticism.
But there is such a thing as constructive criticism. There is also such a thing a throwing stones from glass houses. Or, as some wit put it “Let he who is without sin.” 😉
yabot needs to address both before anyone can take him even half seriously
Look, I think the catholic church has been a protection racket for paedophiles. There is something wrong with anyone who seeks a life without intimacy…but I haven’t noticed the pope recommending throwing gay men off buildings.
“What was so wrong with allowing our universities the freedom that they need to be the best in the world?” he said.
What was wrong with taking away students from TAFE and throwing them to the mercy of the “open market”
turnbull is stupid enough to say it out loud is all.
Last month, The Australian released three articles (here, here and here) uncovering widespread rorting by private colleges. The Australian revealed that private colleges were handed more than $1.4 billion in government-funded VET Fee -Help loans last year, which was four times as much as was provided to public vocational education and training providers. Yet, only 14,400 students managed to complete courses at private colleges last year, compared with 18,400 students at TAFE and other public providers. Thus, the figures reveal that private colleges are inflating course costs but providing very poor educational outcomes.

“”yabot needs to address both before anyone can take him even half seriously””
Yes, indeed.
“”I haven’t noticed the pope recommending throwing gay men off buildings.””
No, but there’s just a resounding silence when gay men are bashed or killed by homophobes.
In much the same way as wives are meant to be “”subservient””” to their husbands despite being subjected to domestic violence.
Both religions are fucked as far as I’m concerned, but I don’t see that many Islamic faith-based MPs in Australian politics influencing policies and our social fabric with their faith based ideology. Catholics on the other hand, well we know that Canberra is littered with them.
“You mean the ones that simply bugger children?”
I could put up photos of what the West has done around the world in the pursuit of democracy, oil, $$$ and the christian way …
The big problem is RELIGION … and the twits who worship “one god” – the “same god” … and their interpretation of man made fairytales … the bible, the quran and the tanakh … the bible even includes the history of the jews … as the old testament …
What nonsense … if their ever was a god, it has a twisted sense of humour, no sense of fairness and a fucking massive ego!
If you believe “our” society is better than “their” society … you could be right … but it’s not better ENOUGH …

Certainly … but not in Australia … we have none of the above … or haven’t you noticed …
…and which parts of Islam would people.recommend we adopt?
DuH? Who wants any of their shite … or any other religion …
Missing the point … and making shit up again … shit smells no matter where or who it comes from …
Clearly, a culture of superiority by proclamation should be ready to justify killing inferior people in the name of civilisation amidst demands for our loyalty and respect.
Fine, and just as there is plenty of pointed criticism of christianity and catholics, I can’t understand why it is so objectionable to criticise islam.
I’m sure you’re free to criticise radical islamists here … I do …
A pox on all their houses as far as I’m concerned …
I don’t care about anyone’s religious leanings until they start to expect me to get involved … or they become hypocrites (like most religious zealots – classic case, ISIL) …
The local state school had a graduation ‘tother night … not in the really good new school hall but in a little church hall down the road … and up pops the school counsellor at the microphone with her comments … luckily not the prayer as noted on the program …
When I asked the Principal she informed me that the school hall was to big and “echoed” … little did she know that I knew the acoustics in the hall were fine …
The whole process was simply to get people from a STATE school in front of all the churchy paraphernalia … hidden agendas piss me right off!
Oh…..I see all the Left Wing nut jobs are out again self flagellating ( or self fellattio-ing) over the evils of the West as usual.

Yes, but, LOOK OVER THERE!!
“”Otherwise that would make you a fucking hypocrite.””
Yeah – why that would be a bit like criticising someone for downloading movies off the internet, while at the same time stealing pictures of Walrus’s from the internet without paying any copyright fees and posting them on a blog as a kind of joke, no?
Hey islam-frightened teabags, don`t forget to share 50% of the credit of your `islamic-misery` with colonial powers, that have caused and sponsored that misery.

#ln the same manner teabags always bleat about my abc being `taxpayer-funded`, l would point-out that `our` parliament/s are `full` of catlicks and other kristian dog-clubs with `tax-free` status (defacto-taxpayer-funding/welfare) and would therefore point-out that `we` sponsor pedo-priests and the cover-ups of them. Yet the usual buffoons only squirt about `islam`.

I think the west stopped crucifying people a while back
And I think we also stopped burning people a while back as well.

Twisted and strange illogic …

As usual you’re making the excuses … I’m giving you the facts … the West has blood on its hands, ISIL has blood on its hands, the Jews have blood on their hands, the krystians have blood on their hands …
(BTW, Hitler was a krystian … and I’d lay a bet that Mussolini was a catlik)

Mussolini would become anti-clerical like his father. As a young man, he “proclaimed himself to be an atheist[168] and several times tried to shock an audience by calling on God to strike him dead.”[166] He believed that science had proven there was no god, and that the historical Jesus was ignorant and mad. He considered religion a disease of the psyche, and accused Christianity of promoting resignation and cowardice.[1

Tony Abbott is amazing. All he has to do is buy a fridge on Gumtree to send the left crazy.
I think you mean “your lot”…

The Mad Abbott bought a fridge?
“yabot needs to address both before anyone can take him even half seriously”
Just like political parties don’t criticise each other until their own house is in order and just like Tom R is so busy addressing Unionland crime and fraud he hasn’t got around to criticising anyone else.
“Muslims do not need a Western cultural supremacist like Tony Abbott to tell them what Islam needs.”
True. It is much better they hear that message from one of their own:
” this anti-Muslin this and anti-immigration that is leading to a dramatic increase in support of far right political parties in the UK and Europe as well as for ranting loonies like Trump.”
The reason for the rise of so-called “far right” parties is the complete and utter failure of other parties to speak sense on this issue. For so long as the hideous idiots keep insisting Islam is a religion of peace when the facts paint a completely opposite picture people will support parties that tell it like it is.
In the UK 95% of sexual assaults against under age children are performed by Muslim men. That is on the head of the diversity mongering mongrels who keep insisting that more of this degraded culture be imported.
To say that all cultures are not equal is to state the bleeding obvious. The atheist leftist culture which gave rise to communism failed miserably (after killing 100m people and is now in its rightful place in the dustbin of history.
It is clear that different cultures produce different outcomes for their citizens. The West is superior now because of the enlightenment and in particular the development of market economics.
It is not as though barbarian notions aren’t lingering below the surface in the West. It is just that right now of the two cultures Abbott is comparing, the West is clearly superior. If you don’t agree then you should be equally happy living in Islamic State. If not then you obviously agree with Abbott on this point. But you can’t bring yourselves to say so.
“………you obviously agree with Abbott on this point. But you can’t bring yourselves to say so.”
LOL ……you wont see any of that with most of this lot.
As NoS pointed out. Abbott bought a second hand fridge on Gumtree the other day and the Left went fucking feral over it.
Its quite amusing watching their reactions
“”The atheist leftist culture which gave rise to communism failed miserably (after killing 100m people and is now in its rightful place in the dustbin of history..””
Yeah, the whole non-atheist right wing culture has just done the whole global peace keeping thing so well in comparison.
“”the Left went fucking feral over it.””
Really? That’s news to me. The c*nt bought a fridge. Big deal.
He bought a fridge!!! – NOT EVEN F***ING JOHN HOWARD BOUGHT A FRIDGE!!
That says so much about Abbott.
Just like political parties don’t criticise each other
Well, they do, and, they get called on bullshit when the hypocrisy is blatant, as it is here
so busy addressing Unionland crime and fraud
What, a couple od isolated incidence that is somehow being portrayed as normal?
How many charges have been booted/dropped, laughed out of court lately? Why not go after the REAL crooks, instead of political enemies?
The “inside job” is alive and well with a new survey showing bosses looking to fund their flashy lifestyles are the biggest fraudsters next to professional criminals and rank and file staff.
And business beware – organised crime is stepping up their cyber fraud activities and are expected to recruit more employees or embed gang members in companies to ply their nefarious trade.

What are you saying? That Abbott is racist because he bought a white fridge rather than a black one on Gumtree?
Who’s our PM again?
//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js
Abbott needs to pull his head in or sign up for a rifle and a cams …
Who’s our PM again?
Didn’t we end up with isis BECAUSE of a “long, difficult, costly AND bullshit engagement”?
I wonder if nil etal could point me to fridge comment that set them all off?
“”I wonder if nil etal could point me to fridge comment that set them all off?””
That’s what I was thinking…
Exhibit 1) Look at the Comments from your Lefty rag
http://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2015/dec/08/tony-abbotts-fridge-a-secret-history
That Abbott is racist because he bought a white fridge rather than a black one on Gumtree?
A stainless steel one would be too upmarket for The Mad Abbott … is it a beer fridge …?
Anyhoo .. an SS (apologies couldn’t help myself) fridge may reflect (lol) on Abbott if he saw himself in the door …
I wonder if the FBT on cars is included in this?
The Federal Government is considering eliminating widely used tax concessions to part-fund income tax cuts, Malcolm Turnbull has confirmed.
https://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/wa/a/30322357/back-to-future-in-tax-reform/
Oh, dear, it IS (chuckle) an SS fridge … so things aren’t going to cool down …
Exhibit 1) Look at the Comments from your Lefty rag
Is Wally talking to anyone in particular or just the usual “voices” he hears?
“”Is Wally talking to anyone in particular or just the usual “voices” he hears?””
LOL…! 🙂
Exhibit 1) Look at the Comments from your Lefty rag
I’m not sure how that ties in with a discussion about islam?
Also, I thought it was a “lefty” thing?
http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/nation/tony-abbott-buys-secondhand-fridge-on-gumtree/news-story/4071dad5f7943eefcebd751dbd7430d6
But, back to my original question, perhaps you can “please” explain just how media outlets getting wet over a fridge has ANY impact on the discussion here. especially to warrant this kind of garbage
LOL ……you wont see any of that with most of this lot.
As NoS pointed out. Abbott bought a second hand fridge on Gumtree the other day and the Left went fucking feral over it.
Its quite amusing watching their reactions
Surely “this lot” is not to be blamed for the actions of the likes of the oz, are “this lot”?
If you cant be bothered looking at the comments here is a sample…………..
“One would have thought he would be financially capable of maintaining his family’s privacy with a purchase at the local electrical traders store instead of exposing himself and family to this public ridicule. Or is he suffering from attention deficit disorder……….”
The fact that Abbott cannot even go and buy a second hand fridge without idiots commenting like above kinda proves the Left really is just full of lunatics fixated by a hatred of a former PM.
I wonder if the FBT on cars is included in this?
Maybe Milkum is heading for a 20% tax across the board … no deductions, no concessions … all those financial shiny arses looking for new jobs alongside the miners …
Still if The Mad Abbott wants boots on the ground in Syria, they could always recruit them … however, the pay and conditions have taken a serious nose dive in the last couple of years …
Its an exciting time to be an Australian …
Is Wally talking to anyone in particular or just the usual “voices” he hears?
Or just “gazing into that pool” 😉
The fact that Abbott cannot even go and buy a second hand fridge without idiots commenting like above kinda proves the Left really is just full of lunatics fixated by a hatred of a former PM.
Wrong again … he’s made himself into a daily lampoon character … defend the twat all you like … he’s a Fuckwit© who’s been exposed and compounds his silliness daily …
“Hatred” nah not this little chipmunk … I thoroughly dislike his ignorant ideological politics and his pugilistic approach to every aspect of life … his and other people’s … but I have never “hated” anyone in my life … nor do I expect to …
… the Left really is just full of lunatics …
I think you’ll find that applies to every walk of life, left, right and in between … in fact Tony Abbott is a classic case … and he leans so far right it’s a wonder he can stand up …
.

🙂
The fact that Abbott cannot even go and buy a second hand fridge
But how does that relate to THIS discussion?
That quote, wherever it came from, wasn’t from this bloody thread, was it?
Looks like people losing an argument started with the “look over there, tabot did something else too”
no deductions, no concessions
No complaint from me there 😉
But I wonder, will this be called a “monumental backflip”
remember, malcayman is on the record of fully supporting the grubmints previous position(s) in regards to tax. It’s time he was held to those comments.
“Looks like people losing an argument started with the “look over there, tabot did something else too”…..”
Yeah sure…………………………..like In your dreams.
Otherwise provide us with an argument why modern day Islamic cultures are superior to the West.
If you cant then as much as you’d hate to say so yourself you must be agreeing with Abbott.
I’ll just wait here patiently for your argument.
Which reminds me……….I need to fill up the wine fridge for the weekend
provide us with an argument why modern day Islamic cultures are superior to the West.
Again, who said they were “superior”?
Who is the strongest, who is the best
Who holds the aces, the East or the West
“”Otherwise provide us with an argument why modern day Islamic cultures are superior to the West.””
I don’t think anyone’s actually said that.
I guess it’s just “”the voices”” again…
🙄
“a touch stronger” ????????????????????????????????
It’s 51,000 stronger than your prediction you FUCKWIT !
I guess it’s just “”the voices”” again…
Do the voices do the unemployment data these days too?
“I don’t think anyone’s actually said that.”
Well its good to see that you finally agree with Abbott
“But somehow with all those extra workers, worked hours fell by 0.8%”
Yeah well with penalty rates where they are lots of joints no longer open weekends
Well its good to see that you finally agree with Abbott
I don’t think anyone actually said that (except you) …
I don’t think anyone actually said that (except tabot) …
fixed it fer ya TB 😉
they are lots of joints no longer open weekends
Got a link fer that 😉
I wonder how long it will be before malcolm decides enough is enough and yanks in abbott’s chain. I suspect abbott is trying to bait turnbull into bringing him back into cabinet where he will be forced to conform to cabinet solidarity, no more moonlighting and chestbeating. Abbott hasn’t sat on the backbench since 1996, he won’t take it at all well [or the financial downgrade]. You can see that he is seething with passive aggressivity.
Turnbull should just let him run, he’s sounding like a complete loony of the US teabag variety these days and is given equal credibility. Let him join Cory’s new reclaim australia for the fascists party.
The problem is simply religion. When we finally get rid of religious indoctrination and government’s use of religion to help oppress the masses everywhere we might actually start blaming people for their own actions.
Someone once said:
“Good people will do good deeds
Evil people will do evil deeds
But it takes religion to make good people do evil deeds”
…Does anyone seriously think that any of the Islamic countries would tolerate a Royal Commission to expose the institutionalised abuse?…
Does anyone seriously think that the RC would have happened under a liberal party govt?
…To say that all cultures are not equal is to state the bleeding obvious. The atheist leftist culture which gave rise to communism failed miserably (after killing 100m people and is now in its rightful place in the dustbin of history…
https://michaelsherlockauthor.wordpress.com/2014/10/21/the-atheist-atrocities-fallacy-hitler-stalin-pol-pot-in-memory-of-christopher-hitchens/
…Religious apologists, particularly those of the Christian variety, are big fans of what I have dubbed, the atheist atrocities fallacy. Christians commonly employ this fallacy to shield their egos from the harsh reality of the brutality of their own religion, by utilizing a most absurd form of the tu quoque (“you too”) fallacy, mingled with numerous other logical fallacies and historical inaccuracies. Despite the fact that the atheist atrocities fallacy has already been thoroughly exposed by Hitchens and other great thinkers, it continues to circulate amongst the desperate believers of a religion in its death throes…
Tony Abbott is amazing.
He’s alright. For a reheated fridge magnet in search of a lost humanitarian mission.
“Got a link fer that”
Of course…………………

“I don’t think anyone actually said that (except you) …”
So then you disagree with Abbott then
Yeah well with penalty rates where they are lots of joints no longer open weekends
That’s because the one’s who do are probably better managed restaurants …
BTW … over the years I have been into a local – well know – coffee shop that displayed signs that a 10% surcharge applied for certain public holidays (ironically on an Anzac Day) across from the Dawn Service … and discovered staff weren’t paid!
I discovered the same happening at a local tavern … after asking bar staff, wait staff and kitchen staff … none were paid penalty rates … it went into the owners’ pockets …
How sleazy is that!
Of course…………………
Of course that link doesn’t say anything about these places staying open previously on Easter, does it?
You said ” no longer open weekends”.
Easter has always had the majority of shops closed, because, it’s a bloody public holiday!
I did like the epitath of the story though 🙂
“On the upside, it does mean we get to have a day off, and spend time together as a family.”
The voices in your head aren’t real.
Does anyone seriously think that the RC would have happened under a liberal party govt?
I could imagine Turnbull having one. Obviously not Abbott.
That is a fairly stupid article KL. Unfortunately the fool who wrote it doesn’t even recap Hitchens’ argument which I would like to read.
There are some narrow minded bigots who seek to blame all violence on religion. The simple fact is that ideology (of which religion is but a subset) is the real culprit. And in terms of murderous violence the atheist leftist ideology of communism was the greatest killer of all time.
CS Lewis had it right:
…It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience…
We’re living under both, the robber barons and the moral busybodies are in league, isn’t that what the legislation to invade our privacy, track our every movement and thought, destroy our civil liberties, rights and freedoms is all about? Isn’t that why religious ideologues have infiltrated our parliament and force taxpayers to pay all of the fkn churches to exist and multiply. It’s the most lucrative and wealth creating business around!
We are oppressed by all of them, this ‘democracy’ that is for
our owntheir good. Some stupid people accept it willingly, stops them feeling so shit scared and defenceless against all their imagined and projected fears. The rest of us live under the tyranny of it all, ‘for our own good’.What we’ve got is butt hurt abbott declaring war on turnbull, he’s doing it by proxy, muslims are his stalking horse. We are all going to be collateral damage in this, abbott will blow the place up to serve his own interests. He’s a maddie and egocentric to boot, all we can do is stand by and shake our heads at how these elitists who force themselves upon us can get away with it all.
…Professor O’Brien said Mr Abbott’s remarks were the sorts of comments that could drive people towards becoming radicalised…
http://www.smh.com.au/federal-politics/political-news/bill-shorten-tony-abbott-is-a-very-unusual-man-20151210-glk5nl.html#ixzz3tsvUYNgY
“………….all we can do is stand by and shake our heads at how these elitists who force themselves upon us can get away with it all……………..”
Yes ……………Yes…………how dare he have such an opinion.
But the stupid Lefties always forget that by shutting down reasonable opinions you end up with people like this filling the vacuum………………
Only half a quote, sb … ? My bold BTW
Here’s another …
In fact Lewis encapsulates many of the comments written here …
JC was the original communist … put down by an Empire … out of fear … modern communism was doomed to fail for the same reason(s) fear, cruelty and greed … but in particular, the psychological paranoia of the powerful …
The reasons radical religions still murder, rape and pillage … or, as you rightly put it – all ideologies – secular or non …
Right now The Robber Barons are awake and raping the countryside … we have statistics now to prove it …
… a radical sect of a particular religion is also on the rampage … to usurp The Robber Barons … neither is right in how they are working towards Armageddon …
But as usual the many will suffer for the twisted minds of the few …
So that’s how you see yourself, Wally … an idiot abroad?
Strange …
… by shutting down reasonable opinions you end up with people like this filling the vacuum………………
er, no distinction in the vacuum … similar vacant spaces in their heads …
Divisive and aggressive … the worst kind of extreme right wing politician …

TB, I like those extra words of Lewis. KL, the moral busybodies of today are the ones imposing speech codes, shutting people up, whining about microaggressions, safe spaces and trying to remake society in their own misshapen image. There are too many dumb leftists like this:
If you drop a penny into a glass of spoiled wine, the drink will take on a much more palatable aroma and taste.
You doin’ a Wally on me, sreb!
I’ve never drunk spoiled wine …
Whoo! Tell a fib … we were at The Minister’s sister’s place one Friday night and we ran out of booze (life was tough in the 70’s) …
My brother in law was a bit of a wheeler and dealer and had acquired some altar wine … so we cracked a bottle … it was the most vile concoction I’ve ever tasted …
Anyhoo, we managed to finish two bottles … the next morning was purgatory!
Does ToM, eat hamburgers?
… such as “referring to women/men as females or males.”
erm, what are they then?
The more I think about I might pop down to Melbourne and catch up with ToM … 😀
Only half a quote, sb … ? My bold BTW
That makes a world of differnce, no wonder sb was so selective about it 😉
The full quote is pretty much what I said and it describes the LNP exactly. The robber barons & the moralisers/bigots exist in that one party [not very cohesively].
And then they have the yokels party, what a combination.
KL, strangely, I’d seen the quote before … and the one I’d added … as a teenager I used to get CS Forrester and CS Lewis mixed up … my old man was ex-RN so like the Forrester books (as do I) … but of course Lewis wrote a lot of fiction too …
sb, is right tho’, all ideologies are a problem … most people are just not flexible nor adaptable enough to positive change so get led down the garden path of “simplicity” …
erm, what are they then?

Q&A does not have ‘leftwing anti-Coalition bias’, leaked report finds
http://www.theguardian.com/media/2015/dec/10/qa-does-not-have-leftwing-anti-coalition-bias-leaked-report-finds?CMP=share_btn_tw
…Exclusive: Review headed by broadcaster Ray Martin and former SBS executive Shaun Brown effectively dismisses widespread criticism from Coalition MPs over the show’s political balance
The ABC’s Q&A program does not have a “left wing anti-Coalition bias” and is equally a challenge to both sides of politics, according to a draft report of the long-awaited review of Q&A obtained by Guardian Australia…
…But according to the the document seen by Guardian Australia, Martin and Brown studied six months’ worth of programs aired this year and concluded that while Q&A was a “challenge” to the Coalition government in 2015 it was also a challenge to the Labor government in 2012.
Far from finding that it had too many local panelists from the left, the report said the program needed to have more Greens and independents…
…The politics that (inaccurately) describes itself as conservative has now been reduced to such obsessions. It pretends to preserve and defend a culture, but notice how it never really enacts it. There is always much talk of values such as “decency and tolerance”, but it’s a real struggle to recall exactly how that was practised at crucial moments or under any stress. On climate change, or asylum seekers, or budget reform or international relations, the message was always one of aggression…
The Abbott government – and now what we might call the Abbott opposition – was forever hunting enemies. At most it packaged aggression as compassion, but it was always aggression…

…It seems that Tony Abbott has taken a page out of Donald Trump’s campaign booklet. Last night, in a Sky News interview with Paul Murray, Abbott managed to further alienate an already ailing Muslim community and reinforce white-supremacists everywhere in one fell swoop.
As a self-proclaimed expert on cultural issues, Abbott has used his personal experience as a Catholic, white male to champion the “freedom and tolerance” in “Western” culture and demanded that the “live and let live” Muslims recognise that “all cultures are not equal” and push for a revolutionary “Islamic reformation” from within…

That is what gets me about you lefties. I do not disagree with what you are saying but i do disagree because Rudd did the same.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Rudd#Resignation_from_Parliament
Rudd submitted his resignation in writing to the Speaker, Bronwyn Bishop, on 22 November 2013, formally ending his parliamentary career. A by-election for his seat was held on 8 February 2014, at which he was succeeded as the Member for Griffith by ALP candidate Terri Butler.[15]

Tony Abbott: Former PM defends Islam critique as his ‘responsibility’
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-12-11/abbott-says-speaking-out-on-islam-his-responsibility/7020302
Why Abbott called for Islam to reform (and it has little to do with religion)
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-12-10/sparrow-why-abbott-called-for-a-reform-of-islam/7015854
…There’s a limit to how far Abbott can go in debating defence policy, partly because he can’t be too explicit in his attacks on Turnbull, and partly because a call for Australia to make a unilateral deployment in Syria would sound unhinged.
Hence the rhetoric about Islam needing reform.
It’s all hokum of course. As Kristina Keneally points out, there’s something more than a little bizarre to hear an argument about the necessity of an Islamic reformation coming from a man who trained for the priesthood…
…How far Abbott can get with this strategy remains to be seen. No matter how much he proclaims himself satisfied with his record as PM, his colleagues remember how consistently unpopular Abbott proved with the public. It would surely require a massive dive in Turnbull’s polling for Abbott’s wing of the Liberals to foist their man back in the top job.
In the meantime, let’s remember that a recent survey showed Muslims were three times more likely to experience racism than other Australians. Shamefully, the tactics Abbott’s employing in his mission of revenge are likely to fan such sentiment further…

Criminal charges against CFMEU duo cause fear and loathing among comrades:
http://www.afr.com/news/policy/industrial-relations/criminal-charges-against-cfmeu-duo-cause-fear-and-loathing-among-comrades-20151210-glkeub#ixzz3tyIDeSb3
…Accusing the CFMEU of a “criminal conspiracy” to damage Boral, Kane told Heydon the union’s alleged conduct against the concrete supplier amounted to “blackmail”.
He “respectfully” suggested Heydon refer Setka to the Victoria Police for investigation under the blackmail provisions of the Victorian Crimes Act.
Heydon, often inscrutable, appeared impressed by Kane’s evidence, praising the Illinois lawyer for making “powerful points”. Five months later, Heydon recommended Setka and his deputy, Shaun Reardon, be investigated by police for alleged blackmail…
…”It’s a very serious precedent,’ ACTU president, Ged Kearney tells AFR Weekend.
“If industrial action is going to be seen as a crime, what’s to stop workers asking for employers to be charged with blackmail if they say, ‘change your work practices or we will go offshore’.”…
…Bob Nanva, the national secretary of the Rail, Tram and Bus Union, says the charging of the CFMEU duo could “‘be setting a legal precedent that will have profound and frightening implications for everyone involved in enterprise negotiations”.
“If an industrial demand from a union is blackmail, then surely an industrial demand from an employer must be blackmail as well,” Nanva says.
“What, objectively speaking, is the difference between John Setka and Shaun Reardon’s conduct, and the behaviour of Alan Joyce and Qantas, when Qantas shut down its global operations and left passengers around the world stranded in an attempt to pressure unions into accepting his restructuring program?”…
…Stewart asks why the blackmail provisions would, for instance, also not apply to companies which threaten to cut off business to suppliers unless they agreed to lower prices…
Not content with being Australia’s worst PM since McMahon, Tony Abbott is now working hard to become our worst former PM.
Onya Tony. Please keep sending the lefties into a frenzy. And buy some more fridges on Gumtree. Please buy a black one to show you are not racist.

I’m sure we can all expect Tony Abbott to condemn George Pell’s excuse to not attend the Royal Commission.
Frenzied reply from Kneel … 😈
George Pell’s excuse
It’s certainly not a reason …
If the Vatican decides to go to war over it, we could send in The Mad Abbott to shirtfront the pope …
Time for a reformation …
k,,,,,I hope the Nats put a candidate in my seat.,,,,
#l don`t think the teabags and teabumpkins `challenge` each others seats/candidates since the `merger` kneel, tho l may be wrong.
Bill Shorten/Malcom Turnbull

For once I agree with you Neil. Both hollow men.

#popularity, one is ensuring the other`s victory
l can`t wait to see the excuses:-) #yay.blib
Why would I be making excuses? He acted like a dick, he can cop it sweet like the rest of us.
Wasn’t it 14% the other day…?
So I guess the answer is yes 😉
Is it the CFMEU Christmas Picnic Day or somethin’ ?
CFMEU are too busy kicking shit outta court to bother with chrissie 😉
But where is TomR ?
Busy having our chrissie dinner 😉
For once I agree with you Neil. Both hollow men.
Sad to say … me too … big difference is I don’t love, The Mad Abbott …

oh, how we giggled …
limited-news,,,,,,,,,the study focused on real-life cases because it`s impossible to create a setting in a laboratory that will give people enough incentive to lie convincingly.
`The stakes are not high enough,` she said. `We can offer a reward if people can lie well ..
pay them to convince another person that something false is true. But in the real world there is true motivation to deceive.`,,,,,,,,,
#ironic that limited-news is exposing it`s troll-farm and denial-factory business model secrets
Keep this up and the Liberals will romp home …
But we need to see more positives … and not just rhetoric …

Well I’m on my way to Brisbane. I’ve packed my velcro shoes and polyester suit. I like to fit in.
Tom, hope your, you’re yer, ya, visa in order … you should fit in here beautifully …
Let`s just see what `actually` results from the paris-ponzi-plan, l still reckon too-little and too-late are going to apply to ocean acidification and effects, which `will` manifest results on-shore too. Don`t cheer too much as it will most likely result in a `not-much` action plan.
teambag ‘reckons’ l still reckon preventing people from taking up smoking is ‘nanny state’ gone mad.
So I’ll take what you ‘reckon’ with a fair slice of hohum, and keep myself in the real world as you wallow with the libs and other assorted deniers
Labor has called on the prime minister to dump the Coalition’s direct action policy in response to the historic United Nations climate agreement in Paris.
The opposition leader, Bill Shorten, welcomed the global commitment to holding increases in average temperatures to well below 2C and the further commitment to pursue efforts to limit increases to 1.5C.
“The objectives of the agreement are crystal clear and Australia now needs to match policies to these objectives,” Shorten and Labor’s environment spokesman, Mark Butler, said in a joint statement on Sunday.
But they said the government’s direct action policy that paid polluters was completely inadequate and put Australia on a trajectory to fail.

Hear! Hear! Get rid of DD and Greg *unt he actually waffles more than Milkum … and while he may have co-written a paper on carbon pricing (sort of) in his uni days he seems to have Abbott’s Alzheimer’s Ailment these days …
Commitment is great as long as the outcome has a positive ending for the global population (ask the Nazis about that) otherwise its just waffle again …
Ting! ❓ … like Milkum Turncoat’s ideological trashing of the NBN … what a fkn disaster he made of that INNOVATION!
And you wonder why the catlick church comes in for so much criticism … and howls of hypocrisy!

the george pell teabag is chucking a sickie, can`t fly back to answer pedo inquiry questions
Mr Abbott feels superior to people who, he says, “justify killing people in the name of God.” Mr Abbott wants Australia to send more forces to Iraq and Syria to kill people. In whose name does Mr Abbott kill people?
LOL! @Rais
Actually the same dawg as I understand it …
