Beware the blinkered!

An astounding number of people I know still think of Tony Abbott the way the (real) 'hate press' (Fairfax) would have them think. Last night I was talking to a friend who is articulate, educated, and a clear thinker who was surprised about Abbott's having been a Rhodes scholar, a volunteer CFS, a Cambridge blue and a mortgagee etc etc. His perspective was Abbott as the "mad Monk'...until I outlined all of Abbott's positive qualities.

G K Chesterton once said:

"Christianity has not been tried and found wanting; it has been found difficult and not tried."

 

And I think that the same could be said about Tony Abbott.

Most people appear to accept the opinions of the predominantly left-wing and usually vindictive main-stream-press instead of examining the truth for themselves.

Ditto the Greens. Too many accept them as a benign, tree-hugging minority whereas the ruling commissariat are vicious ideologues consumed with grabbing power at any cost in order to establish a totalitarian, misanthropic rulership over us all.
