While Belly has indeed made the odd squeak against islamics, his allegiance with the ALP tells another story. Is it possible to accord someone credibility who says one thing but whose associations are in stark conflict ??

Constance,

Ah....South Park Conservative.

So by your own admission, we could classify you as an enthusiastic adherent to to all things Fox News, could we?

Makes sense...perhaps with a tinge of Glenn Beck and the Tea Party.

Of course, your reference to neo-liberals being closed-minded and impervious to any information that might undermine their beliefs was always ironic.....because your own rhetoric is slathered in neo-lib logic.

(Since you've decided that it's a great idea to categorise posters:)

Praxicide,
Members of a political party can have differing views on issues. It is just when the parliamentry party comes to a decission, the parliamentry members are expected to abide by that decission.

Individual party members often do have differing views.

Belly is quite entitled to his individual views.

Like me, I am not a member of the Libs but am critical of some of their policies. At this stage I chose not to speak of those issues because I think it more important that we get rid of the current incompedents. The reality is that if we get rid of the current mob, it will be the Libs that take over. I expect them to do a far better job on the financial side and stop the boats.

Dear Constance,

Me a "neo-Marxist?"
Really? What do you mean by that,
exactly?

And -

Why do you say that?

You don't know me at all.

Why not argue at an intelligent level,
instead of an emotional one?

I don't grade one life over another, and I believe
it's a dangerous and ugly business deciding to assign
different values to each.

It would be great however if we could have thoughtful,
and intelligent responses instead of seeing our
discussions through a fixed ideological viewfinder.

Ah well.

a funny utube with a degree of truth

Hey Poirot,

Can someone still be classed as a neo-Marxist
if they drive a ferrari? ;-)
