Foxy “As for character flaws? You seem not
to see that your opinion is also a
confession of your character.”

Of course it is and I never step away from what I say...

When ones choices are based on long held values, one's opinions flow from a wellspring of worthy thoughts and considerations.


Conversely, if, like you confessed, the pursuit of “consensus” is the goal -

Then what does it say about your values, to be abandoned for the sake of a peaceful existence, under the tyranny of those you appeased with your “consensus”

So too, it would seem, your “opinion” is a confession to your character too....

When it comes to confessions, the sins of the socialist will always outweigh, by several times, the sins of the libertarian

Especially if:

hypocrisy;
hubris and
the indulgent pursuit / repetition of the past failures (of collectivism) is considered “sinful"

Of course Stern = Col.

The proof - if proof were needed - is that he couldn't resist the temptation to defend his beloved Margaret Thatcher, over on http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?article=10735#177980

The clincher - if clincher were needed - is his characteristic use of the word "mute", when he means "moot"

Nowhere to hide, on OLO.

Don't forget Col's confusion of poll and pole as in Thatcher's "pole" (sic) tax.

That still has me laughing.

Col Stern so easy to diss, so little time.

As for character, I'd sooner buy a used car from Julia than Col any day. Those neo-cons always scrambling after the last dollar.

As for claiming to be libertarian, pull the other one; true libertarians are not sexual prudes. What say you on same sex marriage Col Stern

PRIME Minister Julia Gillard is a sneaky, calculating schemer, according to the online polls.

Lets see the damage and bodies littered in her wake:

1 - Craig Emerson and his family,
2 - The school principles with shoddy over priced buildings and the tax payer
3 - Kevin Rudd
4 - Tomorrow the entire country.

Electing Labor is like giving an alcoholic a credit card.

True, Tony Abbott would be the pick of the cartoonists and tabloids. A PM that is easily drawn, with plenty of opportunity for enhancements as the days of the coalition 'Return to the Dark Years' government grow long.

Tony could call in a favour or two and have George Pell conduct the prayers in parliament to thunder down some lightning bolts on those damned heathens on the other side of the chamber. Send a few thousand volts up to that other chamber too to straighten out Brown and others, eh what?

Then it would be floggings all around for those serfs who have been getting out of hand. Don't know how well off they are that lot.

I bet Col Stern thinks it is a doco - supreme executive power - eh, what?
