Australians will come to their own conclusions. I don't want to force anyone to think anything.

Really Steve?

You can tell the election is coming. Sophie Mirabella has already started the glossy, full colour ads on prime time TV. No budget crisis for Sophie.

Tony Windsor said that she was the only person he would not miss

Its nice to see Sophie saying that she will try and be a little bit nicer once she is elected

That was harder to watch than question time. ****.

Bill. " Mr Speaker I just want to say one thing , Tony, your a ****"

Tony " I would like to thank the leader of the opposition for pointing out the obvious...but Mr Speaker, the leader of the opposition failed to point out that that I am an absolute ****..shame on the opposition leader...shame "

What's hard about question time is watching a bunch of total losers, who probably had heads deservedly flushed down the toilet at school, fool themselves into thinking that they are funny, witty and ascerbic while realising these wankers are responsible for making (or not) decisions that affect the daily lives of everyone.

That was a rather long sentence and I am now out of breath.

One of many extraordinary interviews by Riham Said this one against an educated Muslim woman who doubts the teachings of Islam.

Sounds like Leah Sales interviewing Tony Abbott .....or any politician for that matter....

I cant believe you actually have watched question time enough to realise its true worth

Well you know I watch Benny Hinn and read Andrew Bolt so QT only just makes the top 10 list of masochistic pastimes.

I draw the line at singing along to Guy Sebastian.

If we're giving away jobs in Dave's brave new Orstaylia, I call Govenor General. Sweet pay, cut ribbons for charity a few times/week, and sign a writ or two once every three years. Dibs.

Im thinking more along the lines of a republic. We'll be phasing out all this monarchy guff I'm afraid.

“Dennis the Peasant: Listen. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.
Arthur: Be quiet!
Dennis: You can't expect to wield supreme power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!”

Watery tart? So, at least we're back on topic.

Don't entirely disagree with him if IS had the armed forces,and the organisational skills of the Germans they could easily put to death far more than what the Germans allegedly put to death in their death camps,and in a shorter time.
Imagine the impact then, blitzkrieg through Iraq,Syria,Jordan ,Lebanon,Israel, Saudi Arabia but fortunately they are just a bunch of thugs who are just lining their own pockets in the name of Islam, or their own interpretation of it.

That was more or less the point I've made in the past in relation to the Palestinian / Israeli conflict. The Jews could thump their neighbors to rubble and barely break a sweat, they simply choose not to.
What do you imagine would happen if the tactical nuke was on the other foot?

The Nazis have got nothing on IS. You're talking a state driven extreme political ideology that was basically snuffed out within a generation vs a mythology thats been gaining traction and converts for 1300 years that now boasts technical sophistication and a propaganda machine that would have set Joseph Goebbels heart a flutter.
Pretty sure that the refugees currently drowning in the Mediterranean sea or suffocating in trucks whilst fleeing the Arabian peninsula, Syria, Afghanistan etc aren't on the run from national socialist policy or pogroms also.

I don't think anyone is arguing that ISIS don't have the potential to be "worse" than the NAZIs, given the capacity.

Could well have been if the Israelis hadn't taken out Assad's nuclear plant some years ago, we know that the Israelis can take care of themselves in the middle east, but what if it couldn't, makes one wonder whether ground troops would be there now.

A bunch of Jews surrounded by Arab's was never really going to work

 

[malt and barley blues]

If we can blame anybody we can point the finger at Genghis Khan, he had the opportunity to put the Islamist' s to the sword but chose not to.

They were nicer then.
