On Bolt Report a new policy is that any Islam post can only be on the pinned leader. Normal rules apply in that if it is merely foul and abusive it will be deleted. Otherwise comments are welcome. Daniel Katz has previously posted some beauties ..

The story of the day that the media are ignoring is NSW ALP Leader admitting he has twice been done for drink driving. Last time in 2007. He recently ran for the leaders position and never flagged the issue where superior candidates might have exploited it. But he denied them that opportunity and then shafted a sitting member to take their place in one of the most corrupt and compromised electorates, a safe ALP seat. Luke Foley claims it is his only skeleton. Former Attorney General Jeff Shaw was permanently pickled, also of the same left faction, and often referred to as having a fine legal mind. Does Luke Foley have a similarly fine legal mind? Clearly it isn't as good as Shaw's, as Shaw wasn't convicted of drink driving when he crashed his car into a parked car, and staggered out of hospital with his blood samples. Only after the Liberal Party put pressure on the PIC did it eventuate that Shaw resigned from the judiciary. Brilliant way to illustrate the ALP continuation of corrupt service.
Meanwhile the press is enamoured with a decision by the Government of Australia to hold off on some of their medical reforms. No one following the press would know it, but the $5 co payment is still set to proceed in June.
On this day in history, 69, Otho seized the throne of the emperor of Rome, but he suicided only three months later. Three months is a long time to keep a child interested in a toy. In 1541, King Francis I of France tasked Jean-François Roberval to make Canada Roman Catholic which will cloud the understanding of Atheists as to why it happened. In 1559, Elizabeth I was crowned in London. Her rule defined the world. In 1844, University of Notre Dame was commissioned in Indiana. In 1870, a political cartoon defined the Democrats with an ass kicking a dead lion. In 1947, someone brutally killed the Black Dahlia. In 1951, the witch of Buchenwald was sentenced to life in jail. Ilse Koch appealed the sentence, was denied, and made it correct by committing suicide years too late for her victims. The first Super Bowl in 1967. In 1981, Pope John Paul II received a Polish Labor delegation led by Lech Walesa. In 1991, Saddam forgot to withdraw troops from Kuwait, and so the UN approved Desert Storm. In 2007, Saddam's half brother was executed for crimes against humanity.

Should is a powerful word. Teachers should be competent. Politicians should be honest. Police should be fair. On the whole, I find should matches those I respect. The Liberal Party does what it should in Australia. Many teachers I know do the work they should. Police do the work they should. When an exception occurs, you'd think that people would note the exception. They should. But, there are excuses instead. And diversions. One tradesman I met recently is a lifelong ALP supporter. He still supports them. But he doesn't think politicians do what they should. Policemen apprehending a dangerous high thief shot him multiple times with a non lethal weapon which killed him. They should not have done that. A teacher defended himself against a student, but not in the way he should.
It isn't balanced to have a double standard. It should not happen. Don't expect the media to behave as they should. Demand it. Make them. You might not think it matters, but you should.

Mr Ball, I will not sign your petition as it will do no good, but I will share your message and ask as many of friends who read it, to share it also. Let us see if we cannot use the power of the internet to spread the word of these infamous killings. As a father and a former soldier, I cannot, could not, justify ignoring this appalling action by the perpetrators, whoever they may; I thank you Douglas. You are wrong about the petition. Signing it is as worthless and meaningless an act as voting. A stand up guy would know that. - ed
Lorraine Allen Hider I signed the petition ages ago David, with pleasure, nobody knows what it's like until they've been there. Keep heart David take care.
I have begun a bulletin board (http://theconservativevoice.freeforums.net) which will allow greater latitude for members to post and interact. It is not subject to FB policy and so greater range is allowed in posts. Also there are private members rooms in which nothing is censored, except abuse. All welcome, registration is free.
