Church of the Three Monkeys II

I read the blogs, facebook and various other sites and see that many (obviously dysfunctional) people are still supporting Australia's most corrupt, inefficient and mendacious government for generations.
What does it take for these people to reject such corruption? Plus, unfortunately some of these morons claim to be Christian to boot.
How can the latter, in good conscience defend the current government given the unbiblical and downright disgusting behaviours evidenced over the past 6 years?
Either these people are illiterate, deceivers, they do not care, or they have no brains.
Economically this article should sprinkle their self deception with a little doubt.

The new Sideshow Bob

When first directed (in a blog) to reading Bob Ellis's blog; 'Table Talk', I was incensed that someone could write such bald-faced lies and expect to get away with it. In fact at one point I commented that Tony Abbott should personally sue the b%&#@*!d because of the blatant, slimy slander that 'Table Talk' promoted.

 
Ever since that first encounter some foul compulsion draws me back intermittently, (perhaps anthropologically?), to pick over the entrails of the sewer-mind that this Ellis turd possesses, just to try and make some sense of his absurdity's and extreme self-delusions. After each vigilant excursion my response thereafter was to immediately try and cleanse my mind of the grime that unfortunately attaches itself to the imagination when confronted with materiel of this nature.

 
Then, after a while I began to realise that another more mystifying reaction was beginning to assert itself. I found myself increasingly enveloped by a strange, almost reluctant, emerging compassion. I was amazed...perhaps it is because this fellow is so obviously unhinged that even the most belligerent lefties could not take his bloviating seriously.

 
I began to sense that these petulant scribbling’s were the result of a damaged psyche, that this poor fool had, at some time in the past tipped over the edge and has plunged down through all 9 circles of Dante's inferno and was being tortured every moment of every day after opening his eyes in the morning, and thus I cannot help but feel sorry for the wretch.

LoL

HaHa! One of the better imports from England.

THE £50 LESSON

Recently, while I was working in the flower beds in the front yard, my neighbours stopped to chat as they returned home from walking their dog.

During our friendly conversation, I asked their 12 year old daughter what she wanted to be when she grows up. She said she wanted to be Prime Minister someday.

Both of her parents - liberal Democrat and New labour - were standing there, so I asked her, “If you were Prime Minister what would be the first thing you would do?”

She replied, “I’d give food and houses to all the homeless people.”

Her parents beamed with pride!

“Wow...what a worthy goal!” I said. “But you don’t have to wait until you’re Prime Minister to do that!” I told her.

“What do you mean?” she replied.

So I told her, “You can come over to my house and mow the lawn, pull weeds, and trim my hedge, and I’ll pay you £50. Then you can go over to the grocery store where the homeless guy hangs out, and you can give him the £50 to use toward food and a new house.”

She thought that over for a few seconds, then she looked me straight in the eye and asked, “Why doesn’t the homeless guy come over and do the work, and you can just pay him the £50?”

I said, “Welcome to the Conservative Party.”

Her parents aren’t speaking to me anymore.

The name that cannot be spoken

This is the thinking that is happening right now in Canada:

Part of Quebec’s “problem” with religion might be that it listens too closely to its secularist academic elite. An anecdote shows how at least some Quebec academics regard religion. I was asked by the Ottawa Citizen to write an article responding to the question: “What is currently the world’s most dangerous idea?” I questioned some of my law school colleagues as to what they thought; without exception, they all answered “religion.”
 

This is the attack that is taking place throughout the Western world. Unfortunately this attack is restricted to one religion, namely Christianity...makes you think doesn't it.

relative reality?

Novelist Phillip K. Dick defined “reality” as “that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn’t go away.”

Life exacts consequences from choices. Take the object lesson of Detroit: governed for a generation by overspending, Liberal scoundrels and incompetents, groaning under Michigan’s heftiest per-capita tax burden and the country’s (!) highest home and commercial property tax. The result? Motown’s collapse.

The political Left, meanwhile, harrumphs and scratches its head, flummoxed by that city’s awfulness.

Re-BUTT-al

Its about time conservative academics start defending family values, well done Professor Adams.

P C warfare

....Thus she revealed herself to be just another politically correct zealot, standing for the secular sectarianism of group rights.

For far from serving the whole of society, each such interest group exists to gain power over everyone else – and damns anyone who stands in its way.

Indeed, this is why ‘political correctness’ is not remotely liberal at all, but viciously oppressive. It is simply a mechanism for re-ordering the world according to a particular dogma – and thus inescapably stifles all dissent.

Innately hostile to traditional morality, it paves the way for a secular Inquisition in which today’s Torquemadas are the ideologues of such group rights – and it is Christians and other religious believers who are the heretics to be silenced by force.

It is, indeed, the principal weapon of unholy war wielded by the forces of militant secularism, which are intent upon destroying the Judeo-Christian basis of western morality.

It supplants traditional morality and the concepts of right and wrong, truth and lies by a creed which says in effect, ‘Whatever is right for you is right’.

It also seeks to replace patriotism and service to one’s country by serving ‘the community’. This is yet another slippery concept, which today can simply amount to membership of just such an interest group, which is in the business of elbowing out other interest groups in the greedy clamour for entitlements.

So the new Guiding promise is all about being true to me, myself and my beliefs, whatever they may happen to be. It represents the antithesis of duty to others. It says, more or less, ‘I promise to serve myself’.

It is a promise for a narcissistic, self-centred and morally vacuous age. (Melanie Phillips 27.8.13)
