Here we go again.
Posted by Kate at April 1, 2011 7:26 PMHerald Sun columnist Andrew Bolt has been dragged before a judge and accused of thought crimes against the high church of political correctness. He's being prosecuted and persecuted for the lese-majesty of challenging the cult of victimhood that dominates racial discourse in Australia.
This is just another example of Nero fiddling while Rome is burning around it. Our societies are so tied up in knots of this sort that they will ultimately collapse in the face of the coming apocalypse of the attempt to create the caliphate.

The plaintiffs' counsel is lying is face off. There is no significant difference between this and the state piling books in the street and burning them.
Posted by: cgh at April 1, 2011 11:37 PMIsn't it about time "we" stopped trying to defend freedom of speech and started to attack censorship ?
Collectively we the silent majority tend to accept the mantle that is cast by the accusers. Perhaps we should instead of knee-jerking in the court that has been set for us, attack on our own ground and call it what it is, in this case, seeking to impose censorship, something the liberal liars and cheats of the fascist left would have us believe is their ground only to hold.
Liberals know well how to undermine the pets in their pet projects, lure their leaders with cash bribes and they'll ditch their pride to do the bidding of their new masters. Aboriginal leaders then lead lives of luxury unimaginable to the rest of us who pay their way, but it is unfortunate that regardless of what pet group it is, the majority of that group must be screwed over by their leaders.
Posted by: Philanthropist at April 2, 2011 12:06 AMA very relevant topic - unfortunately. I happen to live in Alice Springs in Australia and here it's impossible to say anything offensive of/to Aboriginals. Once you do that, the entire '5th column' of crazy (white) do-gooder militants vilify you as being a sub human ignorant redneck. The problem is that facts don't let themselves be suppressed. Our local fellow-citizen aboriginals cause a lot of grief to everyone here, including their own women and their (female) children. We deal with multitudes of breakins, open drunkenness, public defacation near shops, violence in and outside the home, tourists get attacked, anything that's not gated or tied up gets stolen etc etc. The list is endless.
But don't speak of it!

EXACTLY the same.
