I take comfort when I read and hear the hateful comments from the sycophants of big business. The paranoia of these mindless conservatives, with their fear of others, their loathing and mistrust of anyone who would dare to be different, their total lack of compassion and understanding of their fellow man, their greedy obsession with materialism. These people constantly pander to their own self indulgences. When all else fails they fall to their knees and pray, to the non existent god, "please lord save me". Their conservative rantings reinforce my belief that the right path to follow, is that path which these narks of society detest. Please, keep up the 'good' work, your guidance is invaluable. And if you can, one day, come out of your dark and dingy economic cave, breath the freshness of the air, feel the sun shine, smell the flowers, join society, it will cost you nothing, we love you all.

Bob Brown is a Communist, dressed up as a Green, as are all the Greens. It is just not accepted or popular today to be a Communist as it was back in the days of the Hippies and so they hide under the banner of Green.

I read in the other article under discussion about Bob Green, that a poster was puzzled by Bob Greens shying away from any kind of debate or policy on overpopulation, which you would think being a Green that he would wholly support.

He does not support it for these reasons:- His basic philosophy is that of all the never grown up old hippies, and that is that we should have a World Government and everyone on the planet, the whole 7billion of them should be allowed to flood into every country in the world and all of the people in these countries should make room for them. This is of course the ultimate Communist belief system.

He is not actually trying to lock up all the environmental, (read rich areas) in this country to benefit the people in this country but trying to stop us having them so when his Utopian idea of World Communism comes into being he will have saved those areas from the Capitalists to provide for his Communist dream.

It makes sense that he wouldn’t take any measures to stop illegals or any immigrants flooding in here, because that is his idea of a Hippie World Utopia. Communism.
The whole world will hold hands, and sing Kum Ba Ya.

sorry had a bit of a computer hiccup and ended up posting in this Bob Brown article instead of the other, (but, 1/2 a dozen of one and 6 of the other. (It doesn't really make any difference)

Hasbeen-- I just read your post above, and I think you have nailed it brilliantly. This exactly describes people like Bob Brown and their motivation. For once we are in agreement. Probably because we are not engaged in a battle of the sexes.

Cherful,

Bob Brown is a Communist dressed up as a Green, blah, blah, blah....

Your rant was highly entertaining for all the wrong reasons. It's fascinating that you ascribe all those evils to the one politician in Australia in recent times who actually possessed ideals - and stood by them.

It's called integrity.

But don't let me hold up your game of Ring a Rosey with Hasbeen - you're made for each other.

Conservatives seem not even to understand communism.
Use the word to describe anything they fear or dislike.
Room exists to be against Bob, I am, but communists?
How many such remain, even in the Nations once ruled by it, can China be called communist? North Korea?
No answer still.
So here in a different form are my questions.
IF YOU had next sitting of Parliament, the balance of power.
Would you bend, to put as near as possible unacceptable refugee policy in place.
Or firmly stand on your view.
Wasting your power.
And inflicting a Liberal policy.
Is that productive use of power.
TWO
Is it true, such policy's and actions,see, far more for ever against the greens than for them.
Chuck in THREE
Is it true without Labor, and its need to be in harness with them the greens have no power.
That Abbott has found a way to benefit from greens voters.

Count me out, Paul1405.

>>I know, like me, everyone on the Forum will be saddened by the news of Bob's departure from the Australian political scene<<

In my view, Australia will get along very well without him. The Greens as a political entity undoubtedly owe a great deal to his character and motivation, but that doesn't actually mean it has been a force for good. In fact, in recent weeks we have seen some of the more loony-tunes aspects of Greenery emerge, which underpin the wilful destruction of our economy upon which the Party is focussed.

Only someone who is totally blind to the political realities of such a venture could suggest the complete dereliction of the government's responsibility to its own people that it implies.

Has he not noticed what is happening in Europe? The well-intentioned gesture of a common currency now has the entire continent in financial turmoil. Far from encouraging togetherness, it has set every country against each other, with a bitterness that will take an entire generation to resolve.

Even without this fanciful and futile world-view, we can see that the only possible role for the Greens is as "spoilers", to muddy the waters of each and every policy designed to improve our society. Just as they have done, so brilliantly, in their destruction of the Gillard-led government-of-abject-compromise.

History will not, I am afraid, view him kindly.
