What has become of this country that our politics can only now be PG13+?
I couldn't believe reports 2 months ago (now) that people were proud to call the March in May protests a "family day outing." NO! Protests are MEANT to show the force of the people, the anger of the people! They aren't meant to be for people to sit down, grab a balloon for the kid, have a barbecue and play with the dog. If you want that, go to a park!
And now this:
This fantastic metaphor on the actions of Tony Abbott has been withdrawn because it was seen as "too violent." The very "man" himself, Tony, suggests that it would lead to violence.
http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/jul/03/tony-abbott-calls-razor-against-nec...Clearly, the image is meant to be a metaphor, but let me say this: I am disgusted by the left for standing down. This imbecile has:
1. Placed a razor against the throats of our weakest, our pensioners, our unemployed, our disabled
2. Broken international laws and is now reportedly sending asylum seekers back to their country of persecution WITHOUT assessment.
3. Tried to break apart organised workforces, and is continuing to try.
4. Wants to destroy our environment
5. Has gagged debate, and is now looking at NSA style surveillance laws
Yet, with the absolute bullsh1t that has gone on over the past 12 months, that would make ANY left wing ideologue absolutely throw up, and any extremist right wing nutjob jump for joy, what do we, from the left do? We go on "Family day outs" and remove metaphorical imagery becuase it is seen is too violent.
This is why the left will never win. It is no longer about fair play to spread your message. That went when people like Bolt, Jones, Tony, Albrechtsen got into the arena. And that's why they'll win, because they'll punch whatever is necessary to punch while the left has been taken over by people too scared to offend anyone.
Truly pathetic, Red Flag! Go out and stand for what you believe in! "One Cut I'd Like to See"
Whats killing off the left is it's slavish devotion to the rights of Asylum seekers at the expense of everyone and everything else.
We have a government who declared war on the Australian people and the left is fighting back and pouring endless reserves into a counter attack. The problem is its not the Australian people they are trying to defend but the asylum seekers.
The biggest victims at the moment are Australians themselves, especially the poor, the young and disabled.
We are at the cross roads where the only thing keeping the government from condemning our most vulnerable to a lifetime of indentured slavery is a rag tag senate. I never thought I would see the day where a collection of political misfits would speak with more concern for the rights of the poor than the left.
