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.

A 4 yo girl left home at 3am in search of a slushie from a Kwik-E-Mart. She got put on a bus and made it to international news. We live in good times, sometimes. A bigoted policy platform is criticised by former ALP senior politicians, but not by other senior ALP politicians. The critics are threatened with expulsion. It is as if the yes men are the only ones who may speak. Warnie says he is thirsty several times as Australia defeat a valiant NZ Cricket team. Martin Crowe, we still love you. But don't drink with Warnie .. it isn't good for him. News papers promote an article where an escort says she loves her job. Which is ok. Except the women exploited, killed or tortured in the industry suggest it needs to be heavily regulated. Another article features a woman saying her husband did not want children so she had an open marriage. Maybe there were alternative choices? A Thai resort is heavily criticised for an elephant being in a party photo. Woe betide when the critics discover "the Party" with Peter Sellers.
On this day in 1815, Joachim Murat issued a proclamation that would later unify Italy. But in the short term got him executed. Joachim was a Marshall of France during the revolution and a friend of Napoleon, who was his brother in law. Joachim had been made King of Naples by Napoleon between 1808 and his capture by the Austrians in 1815. As a king he was a dandy. At his execution, he was bare faced, and ordered the riflemen to shoot for the heart but miss the face. Joachim's missive began "Italians! The hour has come to engage in your highest destiny." The process of Italian unity finished in 1871, but began in 1815. In 1842, Ether was used for the first time in an operation. Before then, teeth were pulled, limbs were amputated and surgery was conducted on conscious people. In 1855, border ruffians from Missouri invaded Kansas to change the legislature to accept slaves. In 1867, Alaska was purchased by the US from Russia for $7.2 million. In 1939 Batman was first introduced, part of Detective Comics #27. In 1981, an attempt was made on President Reagan's life by John Hinkley Jr. Press secretary Brady later died from wounds.

It isn't something I'm paid for, or get credit for, but I start, or promote, memes. Sometimes years pass, and I get to see them come back to me. I started one with a court recorder recording ridiculous statements by barristers. Or when a dying Clare Oliver publicly begged that her fight against sun beds be remembered. Or a sculpture of David illustrating the dangers of fast food. Or a childhood backyard baseball match influencing an Astronauts' words. I didn't invent chess vs death, but I made it a Christmas funny. I enjoy it when I see people posting them, or an incarnation of them. So I get how they feel when some eco facist gleefully points to some factoid about Coal, Solar, Nuclear, Fracking, GM food, socialism etc etc. But I post obvious jokes or things that benefit people. eco fascists post terrible, murderous memes that hurt people. Sometimes, a mate somewhere is well remunerated for the meme, but it upsets me that people fall for it.
In politics they call it spin. Recognise that it isn't balanced if someone spins only one way. This last week marked a hundred days without boat people arriving in Australia or drowning en route. Business is improving. An old institution of knighthoods has been re-established. Jobs are being created. The ALP complained about ninety of their members being ejected from parliament by the speaker, without being able to point to any one instance of where a member should not have been ejected. It was a week that Andrew Bolt described as bad for the Federal Government. And yet in over six years, the ALP never had a week that good. I get Mr Bolt wants to be balanced. But I feel he needs to pick his battles better. The worst thing that could be said about knighthoods is that they are meaningless. But the reality is they profoundly support institutions that keep society together, pointing the way up for school children who often have to endure years of confusing leftist memes from teachers.

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.

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.
