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.

Premier Mike Baird handsomely won the leaders debate against the ALP suit and and ABC compere. Baird has a plan for NSW prosperity. ALP intend to lie about what they will do in office, by increasing spending and and claiming to reduce taxation.
It is Pi day. Third month, fourteen day gives an approximation of 3.14. However, it is 2015, so 3.1415 is even better.

Injustice is profound and has a lasting effect. The political divide cares nothing for the individual unto death. This is why a pedophile with two convictions and ongoing allegations is free to kill. It has ever been thus. Eight Athenian generals against the odds were successful against a Spartan force on water. But on their return home, they are executed by democracy. They had had to choose between rescuing drowning sailors and chasing fleeing forces. They divided their force to do both, but achieved neither objective when a storm hit. Relatives of the drowned voted to kill the generals, one of whom was the bastard son of Pericles.
Sometimes, choices are made in the heat of the moment. Good decisions which are costly. Lieutenant Baker Phillips in 1745 was on board an English vessel. His captain failed to prepare the ship for action. A french broadside killed the captain, leaving a defenceless ship. Lieutenant Phillips surrendered. At the subsequent court martial, the negligent behaviour of the captain was noted and the court martial recommended mercy, but the sentence of death was approved by the Lord Justices of Appeal. The resulting anger of the nation for the injustice resulted in the articles of war being written which declared all officers would equally be given death for failing to do their utmost in battle or pursuit.
Vice Admiral John Byng had a depleted fleet in need of repair and was unable to come to the aid of Minorca in 1756. He was subsequently promoted to Admiral and sentenced to death for his failure. The Prime Minister of the day, Pitt, tried to intercede with King George II, but the King would not listen. The lower house voted for clemency, but the house of Lords rejected it. And so, on this day in 1757, Admiral Bing was shot by firing squad. He gave the order to fire while kneeling, and dropping a handkerchief.
Byng's execution was satirized by Voltaire in his novel Candide. In Portsmouth, Candide witnesses the execution of an officer by firing squad; and is told that "in this country, it is good to kill an admiral from time to time, in order to encourage the others" (Dans ce pays-ci, il est bon de tuer de temps en temps un amiral pour encourager les autres).
Such policy considerations were no comfort to the family of their victim. Admiral Byng's epitaph at the family vault in All Saints Church, in Southill, Bedfordshire, expresses their view and the view of much of the country:

For twenty two years I have been responsibly addressing an issue, and I cannot carry on. I am petitioning the Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott to remedy my distress. I leave it up to him if he chooses to address the issue. Regardless of your opinion of conservative government, the issue is pressing. Please sign my petition at www.change.org/en-AU/petitions/tony-abbott-remedy-the-persecution-of-dd-ball

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.
