MONKEY LAW

EXCLUSIVE:

by William Puisne

England soccer manager, Roy Hodgson, had a PC poison dart shot at him for telling this joke;

After using only monkeys in space capsules, NASA decided to send a man into space with a monkey.
Following launch, the intercom crackled, “Monkey, fire the retros.”
A little later, “Monkey, check the solid fuel supply.”
Later still, “Monkey, check the life support systems.”
The astronaut is annoyed and testily radios NASA, “When do I get something to do?”
NASA replied, “Feed the monkey in half an hour.”

Raceophobic, islamophobic, homophobic, lesbophobic, fatophobic, transgenderophobic, youthophobic??
Come off the grass.

Nevertheless, a complaint was made. The remark was capable of offence. And he had to apologise – to the universe at large – saying he hadn’t intended any hurt.

Just one more success for the PC brigade.

Prosecuting people in the news in these mushrooming hurt feelings courts is great fun.

The Power of the Parti Quebecois Compels You!

Keith Topolski examines the latest bout of xenophobia to spew forth from Quebec.

 

The most memorable line from the classic film Forrest Gump was about a box of chocolates being compared to life. The second most famous line, to my mind at least, was ‘Stupid is as Stupid does’.

Labor's intent to muzzle free speech lives

New commissioner, same contempt for free speech

by Simon Breheny on July 29, 2013 in Freedom of speech

Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus today appointed a new Race Discrimination Commissioner – Tim Soutphommasane.

Mr Soutphommasane is openly of the political Left: he joined the Labor Party at the age of 15, he worked for Bob Carr when Carr was NSW premier, he did a stint at Labor lobby firm Hawker Britton and has connections with the UK Labour party.

Selective Censorship

EXCLUSIVE: by Jim McCrudden

Two years ago ex-pm Gillard introduced the Frankenstein Lowenstein Enquiry.

The Party had been getting twisted knickers knowing that there were blogs everywhere, which could not be silenced because they had not committed defamation.

Shutting up the press is the very first thing governments like to do. Free speech is a handicap to government.

But free speech of sorts Australia has and Australian politicians are forced to adopt the lick-arse approach. Selected journos get inside briefings, made favourites of. Others – well their emails and phone calls are routinely binned.

Breaking: Chief Censor Conroy Drops The F-Bomb

Senator Stephen Conroy, the man behind the push to censor the internet in Australia, apparently thinks it's okay for him to swear - just not for us to see such language online:

 

This man is a total hypocrite, and Menzies House is proud to have opposed any and all moves to censor the internet since they were first proposed by Labor. 

If it's good for Canada, it's good for us

Keith Topolski marks a great day for Canadian free speech.

We have recently seen the disgraces of the Racial Discrimination Act in prosecuting and, indeed, persecuting leading conservative columnist and blogger Andrew Bolt for no other reason than he offended a few delicate petals by calling for an end to racism.

This law is clearly an attempt to shut down debate and needs to be removed.

And indeed, there is hope. And yet again, it comes from the brilliant conservative government in Canada led by Stephen Harper. Courtesy of Ezra Levant in the Toronto Sun, read on to see what is happening in Canada, and what should be happening in Australia.

Holocaust 2.0 – Silence, Tattoo and Gas the Climate Sceptics

First we had SMH columnist Richard Glover colorfully suggest that:

“It’s time for climate change deniers to have their opinions forcibly tattooed on their bodies. Not necessarily on the forehead; I'm a reasonable man. Just something along their arm or across their chest…”

Now we have the Herald Sun’s Jill Singer going one step further with her suggestion that:

"Andy Semple of the Menzies Institute claims it's "refreshing" for someone with Murray's standing to take on the global warming "scam" by expressing such views.

Really? I'm prepared to keep an open mind and propose another stunt for climate sceptics - put your strong views to the test by exposing yourselves to high concentrations of either carbon dioxide or some other colourless, odourless gas - say, carbon monoxide.”

You wouldn't see or smell anything. Nor would your anti-science nonsense be heard of again. How very refreshing.”

Fascist Adolf Hitler tattooed and then murdered over 6 million Jews by marching them into the gas chambers and now the mouthpieces for the eco-fascists climate changers suggest we “deniers” are deserving of a similar fate.
