"Give me reasoned faith anyday." Runner has Noah stopped to pick you up in the Ark, to take you to meet Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden yet? Reasoned faith, ha ha, if only it was so.

It is becoming a farce, the rude red neck offers evidence that my party is some thing it no longer is.
Can we not pause and see my words in post one are being proved by a few extremists from within the conservative arm of the Liberals?
Once the red neck faction like Labors very left lived in isolation such as the Country Party Nats.
Lets look at CB heated internal wars have taken place because this bloke is a square peg trying to force himself in to a round hole.

Do we understand Liberalism is not served by the bloke?
That like Labor Liberalism needs to sell its self at election time and every day to those who actually change governments not the usual party followers but the thinkers who put thought in to a vote.
John Winston Howard and his boss*the little woman/Wife drew voters from that pool and indeed Labor.
He would not have stood for Bernardi rocking the boat.
Surely my long term challenge that conservatives tell of their party,s faults has in this thread proven to be imposable.
Clearly ANY WRONG is only a Labor fault for my TORY mates here.

Belly,

The self-described 'Wolves in Sheep's Clothing', the 'Progressives' control Labor.

For most people, the alarm bells would have been going off when the Progressives, finally in government under the guise of 'Labor', went about their social re-engineering, censorship and State control in lieu of putting their energies (and taxpayers $$) into much needed infrastructure such as roads, power, water and hospitals that would have benefited workers in practical ways.

The political 'Progressives' who have a monkey grip on Labor policy and leadership knew they could get away with bread and circuses, and fostering division and hatred in Aussie society to keep the masses occupied.

Why not get out a pencil stub and paper and tot up what you ever got from sly manipulators like Julia Whatshername. Two columns, (+) and (-). Then you could make a realistic no B.S. reckoning, comparing the chalk and cheese that is 'Progressive' Labor today as opposed to what you believed traditional Labor was when you signed up. BTW, what did operators like Julia Whatshernamne get from you?

Bernardi's views aren't "archaic", that's just what Christians believe, remember last week's "Duck Dynasty" furore? When a Christian faithfully practices their faith this is the result.
The problem with "progressives" is that they'll only tolerate diverse views on a don't ask/don't tell basis, as soon as you actually say out loud what it says in the holy books they want nothing to do with you. Muslims are A-OK with progressives as long as they don't profess the views that Mohammed actually passed down to his followers, Africans and Pacific Islanders too are just fine as long as they don't say what they really think of homosexuals and abortion.

The man is a nutcase and the LNP will move rapidly to expel him. He is an idiot and an embarrassment to the party and all thinking persons.

You summed that all up very succinctly ChrisGaffe, well said.
Cheers,
Suse.
