On Bolt Report an ongoing 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.

Queensland is resilient. A panicked ALP Premier was not able to suck the joy out of a sign worker Mark Cave. If Obama is ever wanting to wring his hands in Brisbane, this hand waver will make him understood. Or his telecaster. Meanwhile, press are keen to lie about Mr Abbott ordering troops into ISIL. And they lie about Mr Abbott and the two Bali prisoners facing execution. Don't journalists ever check their facts?
Australian jihadists are also welfare bludgers. Some 96% of jihadists leaving Australis for ISIL death cult are on the disability pension. Few things are more attractive to young Islamic women than a disabled jihadist. Meanwhile impotent Islamic leaders are struggling to say that jihadism, which brings Islam into disrepute, is wrong.
Sitcom writer dies of overdose. Parks and Recreation star, Harry Wittels, died at age 30 of a suspected drug overdose. Drugs may be legalised in some places, but they are never safe.
Athanasius was an important early Christian theologian based in Alexandria, preceding Hypatia and Cyril. He was exiled and returned on five occasions. On this day, in 362, he returned from the third exile which had been ordered by Emperor Constantius. Constantius favoured Arianism while Athanasius favoured Trinitarianism. So Constantius exiling Athanasius to the desert for the third exile, was deeply symbolic. It lasted six years. Later in the year, Emperor Julian would exile him again. In 1245, the first known Bishop of Finland, Thomas, was allowed to resign following a confession he had tortured a man to death and forged a Papal letter. In 1437, Scottish King James I was assassinated by a former follower. His wife survived and their son, James II was crowned king. In 1613, Mikhail I of Russia began the Romanov dynasty, having been unanimously elected by national assembly. In 1804, the first steam locomotive left its' iron works. In 1808, Russian troops took Finland from Sweden. Sweden had held Finland since shortly after Thomas had resigned. In 1828, the Cherokee Pheonix was first published using the syllabary of the great Sequoyah. Sequoyah had created his syllabary for Cherokee, the only time in recorded history a pre literate people created their own, resulting in his people becoming literate better and sooner than surrounding tribes. In 1842, the sewing machine was patented by John Greenough. In 1848, Marx and Engels published the Communist Manifesto which today provides for ALP policy. In 1878, New Haven Connecticut produced the first telephone directory. In 1937 the League of Nations moved to stop the ridiculous practice of international left wingers going to Spain to fight and die. In 1952, Winston Churchill abolished ID cards despite the adoring left liking them. In 1965 jihadists murdered Malcolm X for becoming Sunni. In 1972, Nixon visited China.

One does not need religion to be graceful. Nor to be thankful. It isn't the religion that makes the heart. It takes tremendous grace, effort even, to be thankful when things go wrong. I think of this on the birthday of Douglas Bader (1910). 'Reach for the sky' is not some gangster call to those they point guns at. It was Douglas' title for his autobiography. He was a happy go lucky soul, and a touch irresponsible in his youth. He was born in the early days of powered flight. He wanted to reach for the sky, and he became an accomplished pilot who could do impressive tricks. His life changed in his early twenties (December, 1931) when he did one of those tricks. On take off, he attempted a difficult manoeuvre, but was too close to the ground, and crashed. In those days, the emergency response people took out a cup of strong spirits for survivors so they would not go into shock. The emergency response guy who found Douglas in the broken cockpit, with legs skew in a way that unbroken ones don't go, gulped down the spirits, thinking Douglas had not survived, and wanting to erase the memory of what he saw.
Douglas survived, but the university cricketer lost both his legs, and fell into a depression in recovery. A good woman who was a nurse chatted with him, and tried to lift his spirits, but Douglas only remembered what he had been, and never would be again. He joked about dating her when he would take her to dances. But without legs, he wouldn't dance. But Douglas' heart was not that of a quitter. Many had lost limbs in WW1, and prosthetics were common. He got some tin prosthetic legs, and learned how to walk. And dance. He married that young woman nurse. He learned to walk so well, he didn't need a cane.
WW2 began, and the Battle of Britain. Douglas wanted to fly. But the war ministry would not let him because he didn't have legs which were needed to pilot the craft. Douglas modified a spitfire and the casualty rate was so high, the need so great, he got licensed. And he was good. He became an ace. He became recognised as possibly Britain's best pilot, and it was said it was because he had no legs, because in tight rolls, blood goes to the legs from the brain, and because that couldn't happen for Douglas, he could do tight rolls. In a mission over France in '41, and captured by the Nazis. His prosthetics were damaged, and British high command flew out a good pair for him. In custody, Douglas would not give up. He escaped, a number of times. So the Nazis placed him in Colditz. He escaped again, and they confiscated his legs.
At war's end, Douglas missed the adventure. He took up mountain climbing. And then became a member of parliament. In his heart was an indomitable spirit. The kind of spirit Australia will need to climb out of the debt hole the ALP have dug.

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.
