In the Broadband thread, where we have all the Lib supporters explaining why not developing infrastructure that the vast majority of the nation can access, is a great idea from Tony Abbott.
Like all Libs, they believe that only the people who live in areas that telcos can make a big profit from deserve decent services.
I saw this post from White Dove, which so encapsulated the Liberal mindset of, "bugger you jack, I'm alright", that I just had to share it.
Quote:You are talking to brickwalls here deepthought. Some people who know nothing expect the guvvmint to suddenly make their computers run faster. Like they also expect the guvvmint to sort out their health issues, education of their children issues and so forth. IF these people just looked at their own lives and actually worked harder to get what they thought they deserved, we wouldn't have all these people thinking about voting GREEN to sort it out (in their minds) for them.
You can lead a horse to water but you cannot make it drink. Perhaps age (and experience) will prevail?
So, the Lib mindset that anyone who is disadvantaged just has to work harder.
Liberal voters know that all successful people are that way because they work harder, privileged and advantaged upbringings do not come into it.
Sick? Bad luck, if you are not rich enough then flick off and die.
Bad broadband service? Bad luck, you should have chosen wealthy parents, and inherited property in Double Bay, They have quite good service thank you very much.
Poorly educated? Bad luck, you should have gone to a pwivate school like Belinda and Jewemy, they are doing very nicely in their father's company, and both drive V8 SUV's, because they simply could not bear to be sitting down low with the little people.
Unfortunately there actually are some people who do think like my silly "joke" Liberal stereotype, but what is far sadder is that other normal people buy into their line of bull that showing compassion for your fellow human beings is something that should be reserved for church fetes and the like.
The shock of seeing White Dove assume that people who vote Labor do so because they are lazy and stupid, and need a Labor government to give them a handout is frankly offensive, which is why I showed how silly such stereotyping is with my alternate version.
I do see a very clear delineation between the Left and Right of politics, although both parties are actually right these days, just one is much farther right than the other, but the difference between right and left is that the right promote selfishness as an honourable quality, and the left promote empathy and compassion for others, as honourable qualities.
This is the dirtiest campaign I have ever seen, and all the filth I have seen and heard has emanated from Lib supporters, and that speaks volumes to me, about just what sort of government we could expect from Abbott.
A government without compassion, but worse than that, it will also be a government that will ignore the human impact of it's economic decisions, and real people will suffer, badly.
