Agenda 31: First, castrate all the Conservatives

Hatched in the social laboratories and classrooms of our tax-funded learning institutions comes the new Politically Correct, Agenda 31—the neutering of common sense.

The fungoid do-gooders have re-branded as Correctionalists and their mission is to neuter the minds of sane people—social conformity. Last week the Labor inspired Agenda 31 had its trial run.

Opposition Leader Tony Abbott attributed the Coalition candidate Fiona Scott with “feistiness” and “sex appeal.” Although the nation is poised to decide what may be the most important federal election in a generation, the Correctioalist choristers crowed in high “C”, “Henny Penny the sky is falling.”

Leading that barnyard charge of cloned battery birds was a brain-dead editor at Fairfax who herded writers like Jonathan Swan and Judith Ireland like Christmas chooks to the chopping block. With fingers removed from their readership pulse it’s no wonder Fairfax newspapers are failing with corporate shares at a shameful 55 cents. People have wearied of uniform bias pushed by boring, socialist dunderheads.

Redefining marriage isn’t a vote winner in Blair

Blair MP Shayne Neumann isn’t on board with his leader Kevin Rudd on same-sex marriage. Or as he told The Queensland Times, “Last time I voted against same-sex marriage when the legislation came before the House of Representatives...and I haven’t changed my position. I canvassed the electorate widely with 700 people getting back to me...and 585 were opposed to same-sex marriage and 115 were in favour. I sat on the committee that looked at the legislation...and I was unconvinced by the arguments. If the same legislation came before the house again I wouldn’t change my mind.” 

In key battlegrounds such as the southern Queensland seat of Blair, Rudd’s pontifications on same-sex marriage could cost Labor votes, especially among serious Christians. After all, when 83.57% of your respondents oppose “gay marriage” you can’t just wish them away.

Toby's Sunday Light

Toby’s Sunday Light is not so light today.

Having babysat UK’s little Prince George and taught him rudimentary oz-speak like “G’day sport”, “a schooner of Tooheys Old thanks Mate” and “stuff the tax office” Toby returned home via Italy where he was struck with déjà vu.

Toby reports:

The little Italian island of Lampedusa is 11 square miles. Its population is about 4,500 – usually.

Until the “refugees” arrive. 50,000 in one year – 2011.

And what they do in Lampedusa is a vision of what is going to happen, happening, in Europe, England, Ireland… and here in Australia.

The gay vote - not a guarantee

EXCLUSIVE:

by Bertel Torsten in Canberra

A few days ago, the ALP Deputy Chief Minister of the Australian Capital Territory, Andrew Barr, urged his party to make same sex marriage an election issue, claiming that it could help Labor win seats.

Barr, who is openly gay, identified specifically the seats of Brisbane, Denison, Melbourne and Melbourne Ports. According to his website, one of his “proudest achievements” was in 2011 when, with Finance Minister Penny Wong – also openly gay – he successfully moved a motion at the ALP National Conference supporting gay marriage.

PC - a blight on cociety!

Ruffle some precious feathers for liberty's sake

by Michael Galak

It started slow and easy. I remember, for example,  when “black” and “negro” were just words, no more and no less, that designated skin colour and had no other meanings. These words cannot now be uttered. "Afro-American" and, in the Australian context, "Indigenous Australian", are the terms everyone must use if not to be accused of racism, xenophobia and the like.

As ye sow, so shall ye reap!

How precious are we? Our once endearing trademark of “taking the mickey” and our propensity to laugh at ourselves has been hijacked and bleached to suit the bland, spiritless pests whose only industry is selective finger pointing. The Keating days of thought control, when dissidents were bullied and a compliant PC brigade apportioned scorn are returning like spores of mould on a rotting manifesto of evil.

Just weeks ago footballer Adam Goodes wailed about racism, heard around the world when a 13-year-old girl called him an ape. An ad campaign against perceived racism in which Goodes is an actor appeared on TV just days later. The free publicity was worth millions. In another ad running "Say no to racism" Goodes says “…by the way, I’m indigenous—not that that matters.” Bollocks, it mattered enough for him to make it matter. 

More recently, a bolt from the heavens. The Deity of Affectation granted the PM a miracle; Howard Sattler is sacked for his boorish question to her about the First Bloke’s sexuality. Sattler asked the question to which millions would secretly like to know the answer. And now, the nation is left hanging. Is Tim a poof, how ponderous can a question be?

The Greens - society's termites

Milne’s Greens must condemn bestiality proponent, Peter Singer 

I see that Sarah Hanson-Young is all worked up about Australians against redefining marriage. Redefining marriage won’t lead to polygamy, she assures us. Just trust the Greens. Except – oops! - history teaches us otherwise. 

Also, don’t make slippery slope arguments about redefining marriage and bestiality or else “free speech” Hanson-Young will fake outrage and cry bigotry. Except – oops! – Greens legend Peter Singer is a bestiality-friendly academic. 

How Orwellian. How Hanson-Young. If the Greens and their supporters want to act as Australia’s conscience on sexual politics, then they need to be completely frank about their past and their elders, including Singer. 

Here’s some history. According to the Greens, for example: 

With greatly increased membership after these successes, the party tackled the 1996 Federal election.  Our lead Senate candidate was Peter Singer, but we achieved only 2.9% of the vote statewide, largely because of a strong Democrats campaign led by Cheryl Kernot.  Within a month of the Federal election, the Greens took on both many local elections and a general State election.

How “new atheists” play church

Atheism is a closet religion – and there’s no shortage of field evidence. 

Consider The Sunday Assembly, a group-identified “godless congregation” in London. There, the faithful meet on the first Sunday of every month.

As their evangelical pitch goes: “Come on down to hear inspirational speakers and to enjoy a morning that is part-foot stomping show, part-atheist church.” 

Being secular apostles, the assembly’s members (disciples?) are keen on planting new assemblies (churches?). To wit, “Sunday Assembly Everywhere is a framework that allows everyone to create their own Assembly, while staying true to the spirit and values of The Sunday Assembly.” 

Adherents have even adopted a hierarchal version of tithing. Or as their guidelines state, “The Sunday Assembly is run on donations and we ask you to send Sunday Assembly Everywhere 10% of your collection each month in order for us to provide ongoing support.”

But let’s dig a little deeper. 

The religious-sounding “nonreligious” movement is apparently the brainchild of Pippa Evans and Sanderson Jones, two atheist comedians, with a knack for New-Age marketing techniques.
