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.

Mr Bolt has returned from his holiday and resumed his damns of the Liberal Party leader Mr Abbott. It is partisan, not reasonable in nature, and the partisan spirit was rewarded with a chortling Leigh Sales on 7:30 ABC quoting Mr Bolt and Mr Murdoch. It is partisan because it is a position not based on reason, but on a chorus of catcalls and outrage which is confected and orchestrated to promote the inept Shorten and undermine Mr Abbott. Examining the various possibilities of the appointment of a knighthood to Prince Philip, any fair minded person would say it is appropriate. Prince Philip is not Australian, but his activity in Australia is worthy of the award. On any shortlist Mr Abbott would have been given, Prince Philip would have been top. The negatives are small, with the left wing being upset at a royal being awarded when the elite left are avowed republicans. Imagine an inappropriate person had been chosen, Pete Seeger, because Mr Abbott liked his music. That would call into question Mr Abbott's judgement. But even then, the award is cheap in cost. It would never compare with Gillard's captain picks which cost Australia many billions of dollars and delayed addressing corruption. Mr Bolt's unreasonable stance could not be based on his sad view of Prince Philip and the cultural asset of the knighthood. Instead Mr Bolt's position is because Mr Abbott has made a political decision regarding free speech. It is the failure to engage in the cultural war that must be fought that Mr Abbott deserves criticism. And the reality is that Mr Abbott has not given it up, but prioritised it because the conservatives do not control the senate. We know the ALP and Greens hate free speech, but so do PUP and Lambie. Be outraged about that.

Channel 9 news claims Pete Seeger was labelled a communist for supporting workers rights and opposing McCarthy witch hunts. In fact, he was a communist for much of his life, and a communist sympathiser to the end, supporting tyranny and murder and exploitation by some of the worst people of the twentieth century. He did not write 'turn turn turn' but took the lyrics from Solomon .. but it was his arrangement .. Tim Blair says his music was no good. I disagree. It was aspirational, and at odds with Seeger's beliefs. It touched many good people.The youngest were able to hear the purity. Where have all the flowers gone? They have been tended by conservatives.
We shall overcome .. it is just sad that a person responsible for popularising that song should be what needs to be overcome.
The peace movement of the sixties wasn't entirely grass roots, but well funded by Communists who used drugs to manipulate the population in a similar way Britain had exploited China in the nineteenth century. It was corruption of the media and a political movement that allowed the exploitation and profited from it. Even to this day, those who barracked for Ho Chi Minh and Pol Pot denounce conservative politicians under the guise of grass roots politics. Seeger blazed a trail in the forties that laid a foundation for the peace movement. When we look back at over a hundred million people killed by policies of Stalin and Mao, we see what Seeger dreamed of and yearned for. It is kind of satisfying, for me, he lived to see his dreams crushed when the Berlin wall crumbled and Reagan and Thatcher and Pope John Paul 2nd slay the evil beast. Islamic terrorism has filled the power vacuum, and the left has embraced it. But Seeger's song's don't quite resonate for it.

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.
