Dear Shadow Minister,

You asked about the link I gave as to whether
it was "another article from a left whinge blog?"

That surprised me. I would have thought that
somebody who claims to be aware of a wide variety
of sources would know that the "National Review" is
described as "America's most widely read and
influential magazine and web site for conservative
news commentary, politics, and opinion."

It was founded by William F Buckley Jr in 1955.
For an entire generation William F Buckley Jr was the
prominent voice of American conservatism.

A J Phillips:

"I, for one, will be grabbing the first pussy that takes my fancy the next time I'm in the US, now that it has been endorsed to some extent.

So that was all that was stopping you?

Great attitude to women.

Foxy,

It was a question, but based on the endless anti Trump rhetoric I saw when I opened the site and the flawed commentary.

In most countries they have legislation to prevent obstructionist behaviour, such as in NSW if a person or body buys 75% of a block of apartments he can force the last 25% to sell to him at market rates, and most do getting better than market rates. Similarly states force the sale of houses to build infrastructure. This is not called bullying.

Similarly, the illegal immigrants worked for a contractor that did work for Trump. That the contractor went bankrupt and didn't pay the illegals is not anything to do with Trump.

My friends built a house a few years ago, and the contractor went bankrupt before finishing the house, costing my friends nearly $100 000 more to finish and not paying the subcontractors. Are my friends guilty of cheating the subcontractors.

That was a feeble article.

Dear Shadow Minister,

How about this one, feeble as well, or a
"left wing whinge?"

I suspect that citing from either a conservative source or
any other - unless it agrees with your viewpoint you will
find it unacceptable.

I can see I'm wasting my time.

Cheers.

cont'd ...

My apologies for the typo - here's the link again:

Foxy,

Firstly, your links to the independent are not working.

Secondly, irrespective of the political stripe of a news organisation, there is often the tendency to exaggerate. And while I am not a Trump fan, I find the wild accusations against him irritating. For example the same author compares Trump's reaction to criticism with Sharia law. Over the top? of course it is.

The article you linked demonstrates some possibly shady business practises, but the tendency to use the term "bullying" whenever a large corporation etc takes on a smaller person or entity is an abuse of the term. Trump was entirely entitled to use the court system to determine the validity of his claim. If he had used illegal coercive activity, then it would be bullying, but that did not occur, and he backed down.

I also treat with the same level of disdain comments claiming Obama is muslim or not born in the USA.
