Jellyback, stick this in YOUR PIPE.

The administrations of Chancellors Brüning, Papen, Schleicher and Hitler were all Presidentially appointed dictatorships. Look it up if you don’t believe me.

Ginx,

We have all moved off the thread. Bush is not part of the thread yet you were happy to pass comment on his administration.

I am not worked up. If you want to see examples of me being worked up, review some of my comments to TAPP and BARFENZIE on other threads.

It’s typical of a soft-lefty that you would mention that I mis-capitalised a name. It just backs up what I said about the soft-left preferring style over substance.

You and Yvonne can pretend that opposition to Haneef is racially motivated. I know that simple minds have trouble with anything other than simple concepts. But I do not care that Hanneef is not white. I would be saying exactly the same thing about any foreigner associated with terrorists.

My point is that there are enough applicants for work visas to only take those who are beyond reproach. We do not need to take a chance on Haneef and we certainly don’t owe him, ( or anyone else), a work visa. A work visa is a privilege, not a right.

"The administrations of Chancellors Brüning, Papen, Schleicher and Hitler were all Presidentially appointed dictatorships."

Gee, that would be like a Governor-General appointing a Prime Minister or ruling with emergency powers.

So the democratically elected president of the Reichsweir appointed a president.

Compare that to the undemocratically elected John Kerr sacking the elected Gough Whitlam (like or loath)and appointing by decree Malcolm Frazer.

'You and Yvonne can pretend that opposition to Haneef is racially motivated.'

Paul, it is an intensely irritating habit of yours to ascribe opinions, beliefs or positions to others without any supporting evidence.

"I know that simple minds have trouble with anything other than simple concepts." (Quote:PaulL)

I KNOW you know Paul...., that's glaringly apparent.

I am responding to YOUR posts. Thus, it was YOU who raised the 'America' thing to me; likewise the 'Bush' thing.

I know I have style. I like style. Thank-you for the compliment.

Substance on the other hand, appears to be your rather weird obsession with the term "soft-lefty". As is the need to prove your 'substance' by having me look at your venom to other posters on other threads.

Try to get out more. Being obsessive and embittered is so unhealthy.

Ginx, you may as well post the same dribble again-and-again-and-again, because none has any more substance than your last one anyway. Your delusional assessment of the 2-per-24hr-postings-applicable-to-all, confirms your degree-of-confusion or delusions-of-grandeur!

BOAZ_David correctly notes that NONE of us know the facts regarding Haneef, we do know the AFP didn’t randomly ‘pick-him-off-the-street’ as his barbaric-terrorist-bombing-cousins do. I concur with his assessment of the situation. David, I have been in a hospital-emergency-ward with a sick rellie, so haven’t accessed e-mail – I’m overloaded with catch-up commitments at present also.

So Pericles says he wants to think for himself, then asks what to think when presented with material while Ginx admits she-he won’t look at anything except leftist-atheist propaganda, in case she-he sees something that disproves her-his propaganda! No surprises there…

yvonne…‘I am far more conservative than you are’…so, you’re an extremist? Again, no surprises there! ‘Today we are being made equally afraid’…you aren’t really serious? EQUAL to Hitler’s Germany? How much Shiraz?

Well said, Paul.L!

Ginx, you proved Paul’s points - you’ve much to say about Bush & Co, but NOTHING, by your own admission, to say about any of the sadistic, barbaric terrorists that Paul mentioned. Your hatred is of all-things-American, or as you state, .all-things-Bush! Let the Bin Ladens or Husseins, etc do their worst…you’re cool with it…ditto with local issues, demand a ‘sorry’ but don’t worry about abuses being perpetrated on children…that’s the soft (in-the-head) left argument.

Jellyback, John Kerr (Bless Him!) was appointed by the democratically elected government too, you’re flagellating again…

Yvonne…RE:attributing comments…re-read your posts…then re-tract the last one…I don’t support Sharia Law…but that didn’t stop you ‘attributing comments’ accusing me…

Ginx, you may aspire to ‘style’ rather than substance…that doesn’t mean you have it…you simply prefer the glitz and veneer…without any substance or worth. It’s also unhealthy to refuse to read FACTS on an issue for fear they’ll call into question your bigoted, leftist opinions. (_?_)

Paul.L, you’re to be admired for your patience and articulate explanations that even these simple-minded, soft-left folk should be able to grasp, if they weren’t so politically entrenched.

'ello Meg dear, So glad to see you back; now we can REALLY get started.

Yours is the dribble obsession; I do hope you can resolve that; perhaps a bib?

Next time when you go on the attack, could you coordinate your attacks on me into the one spot? I appreciate that with your views and your style (there's that word again!), you have so little time, and so much to disparage, so everything comes tumbling out in a kind of verbal diarrhea. Insults/compliments/insults/compliments/...

Rather like the Hard-Right (it does stand to reason, doesn't it?) philosophy. Intolerance here, insults there, bigotry here;...well you know;- it kind of all comes tumbling out in a jumbled mass.

Try to coordinate. Bunch your gang together, and shower them with compliments. Then bunch the objects of your hate together, and let fly with your trademark insults.

Glad you acknowledge my grandeur. I appreciate that. It isn't a delusion, though I suppose from your vantage point....? Don't look up for too long you'll strain your neck.

I SO look forward to talking to you.
