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 ..

Christianity is not impotent, but one would not know that to witness believers cut down in the Middle East and their impotent leaders struggling to find a coherent message. According to hand wringers from Gosford Anglican it is punishment for ending the carbon dioxide tax or voting in a conservative government. Why is there pain in the world? Christian leaders seem to say there is pain because people are not having their needs met by hashtags, we need more hashtags. Christian leaders, with few exceptions like Pope Francis, Brian Houston, Rick Warren are not pointing to God. But the role of the church is not secular political. There is a spiritual dimension to evil that needs to be addressed, but there is a secular and political angle the church is not equipped to prosecute. That demarcation is important, and so soldiers have died fighting for their nation, and they have served while being from any of many diverse faiths. And Christians serve and Christians die for their faith. It is ok for a Christian to die. They leave with hope. And blood cries out. A Christian is free to prosecute their service to God to the best of their ability. Or, they can be difficult and impotent hand wringers obstructing others and delving in politics they don't understand 's Tim Costello and Fred Nile have been.
Islam's hierarchy is more fractured than Christianity's. It isn't hard, apparently, for someone to get an Islamic credential. Piers Akerman has made fun of one Saudi Mohammad Saleh Al Minjed who has placed a fatwah on children building snowmen. But to be fair it is no less coherent than many of the utterings of Westboro Baptist. And not as murderous as former cleric, the corrupt Ayatollah Khomeini who profited with political power for his 'fatwah for hire' speeches. But the link between Islam and terror is undeniable. The terrorists claim it and the leaders fail to deny it, or often support it. It should not be the case that those with a small knowledge of Islam know where clerical Islamic leaders are wrong on articles of faith. But many do know more.
Today is the birthday of PFB and Mary McMahon. PFB was born in '65 and died in '78. MM was born in 1919, and died in 2014. At age 95, Mary was a committed Christian who clung to Jesus and lived gracefully as a result. But while one is mortal and will die, their love goes on.
2014
Many are reliant on the Royal Commission into institutionalised sexual abuse to show their wounds, and let the healing begin. As crimes go, it is pernicious, with victims losing their voice in the community, as well as quality of life. Which is why it is disappointing that a focus has been placed on the Catholic Church and the claims of a detective who has an agenda. The Catholic Church has terrible stories of abuse, but not more so than other institutions which care for children. It could be argued that the Catholic church is in fact cleaner than other organisations that are similar. One glaring international example is the PLO, which seems to have UN approval in abusing children. Or North Korea. The profile of the detective's activity also calls into question the entire police force's management. It is unprofessional at best. And so those waiting for the Royal Commission to hear them, must wait for the incompetent to stop their obstructions. Justice delayed is justice denied.
Working very hard to deny justice is the Overland, which refuses to publish conservatives. I wouldn't subscribe to Overland, but my taxes pay for it, so I have no choice. I am reminded of when I was asked to start a business, and told I could get off unemployment, get assistance to further my education and not have to have an income test. I applied, but when I told them I would be starting a conservative email subscription I was refused, because, as I was told, it needed to be for the entire community.
It is summer and very warm. But the projected highs have failed to materialise. The reason for the heatwave has nothing to do with global warming, but is to do with a correctable problem of a bone dry desert in central Australia. The sun heats the land, and the hot air disperses the heat out at sea. If we flooded central Australia with something like a Bradfield scheme we could see an end to the heat waves.
Persons of Interest on SBS, highlighting how ASIO tracked communists in the past shows an ASIO that worked. It is admitted by the communists observed that they wanted violent overthrow of the government of the day. But you wouldn't know it watching the program. I am reminded of a movie highlighting the paranoid nature of the CIA operative who founded their counter insurgency work. He had believed that the communists in the cold war infiltrated the highest levels of Western Society. Records show they had.

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.
