This week in politics

12

 

 
The Greens party has devolved from the paragon of virtue, a party that once espoused freedom of speech in the Chamber, a party that once had as one of their premier pillars that they would never guillotine debate.
 
Today, the Greens party supported the guillotine so that the Nationals could not deliver a speech on the introduction of the carbon tax bills into the Senate.
 
The Australian people should be aware that the sense that Bob Brown and the Greens were inherently decent political operators, in that they had strong views but respected the views of others, is no longer the case. No, the truth is that the Greens party has strong views and deny the views of others.
 
Even my attempts to make a brief statement to the Senate this morning on this matter were denied. For those who supported the Greens as an alternative, because their views were circumscribed by politics, well now the Green party is doing precisely that.
 
Possibly, there are those who went from the Democrats to the Greens party who are starting to wonder where they have arrived.

This is so wrong. I have actually given up. I have been to 6 no carbon tax rallies and felt lousey after because of the way people were portrayed. I now feel the only way is to wait for my chance to vote. I will never in my life believe any promise the Labor party make. I find I am looking for double meanings with anything and everything that is uttered. Many people have been saying, "this is a very sad day for democracy". I am afraid it is lost. I have been a swinging voter in the past, I did not vote for either Kevin Rudd of Julia Gillard but I will never vote for the Labor Party again.

We must now pray for a miracle, and for the Senate to reject this colossal Tax on Air, if we are ever to retain democracy in our own nation.

Roz:

Yes, I think most people will understand how you feel.

I still think there is scope for Nationals, Katter's Party, Democratic Labor Party and a few carefully chosen Independents to haul this country up by the boot straps. Please encourage your friends, and every person that you have contact with, to eject all of the corporate neo-communists from the parliament.

If Barnaby could send us more of his interesting speeches and radio interviews in a linked format, we could use them to convince Leftist lunatics of the grossly deceptive nature of a Carbon Tax and its likely effects on the global financial stage.

I know I really enjoy his witty pieces, especially his recent comments about the Carbon Tax and an Icebox.

I voted Greens last two times, but never will again, after they attacked the media, and because of their arrogance in trying to tell us what is good for us. and trying to censor, and shut up any views that they don't agree with.

Here's what makes me the most suspicious.

For months, the world has been teetering and tottering on the brink of economic collapse, after the USA and countries of the European Economic Union bought far too much junk Made in China, using borrowed cash.

As soon as the Carbon Tax passed through the lower house in Australia, the global economic forecast became far less bleak overnight, with global concerns being reduced to a whisper.

This tells me that Australians now have the questionable "privilege" of paying back everyone else's foreign debt, while Labor/Greens continue to rack up borrowings to astronomical proportions, and more and more Aussies lose their homes and have to take to the streets, begging bowls at the ready.

Now we cannot get rid of these idiots, who clearly belong to the Communist Left, and Senator Carr (Labor) even had the hide to label the Opposition "Knuckle Draggers" in the Senate this afternoon.

???????????????????

My heart skipped at least 3 beats at this strange turn of events.

It seems to me that the vast bulk of the Neanderthals sit on his side of the house, kissing up to wild animals, supporting anti-social recidivist legislation, ignoring the needs of the people, and now TAXING THE AIR, for Chrissake!

(Perhaps this is the result when people emulate the cow, instead of eating it, and then become Vegans!)

Senator Carr should look behind him, and off to the side from time to time, so he knows who is actually sitting there.
