Dear spindoc,

Oh the irony. A coalition supporter referencing Saddam Hussain?

Let us see. Howard puts the Australian Wheat Board at arms length through a shonky privatisation process, removed from the government in name only. This august body then becomes the biggest provider of hundreds of millions of dollars of illegal funds to the Hussain regime during the sanctions period.

The subsequent royal commission shows how the government departments knew what was going on but were dissuaded from pushing the issue.

AWB board members claimed memory loss, lost diaries and even hearing loss. Mainly good staunch Liberal members so none were prosecuted.

Just a rouge bunch? Nope. This 'business at all cost' mantra of the conservative government also saw an arm of the RBA involved in sanction breaking bribery scandals of its own involving several high ranking Liberal party members such as this bloke;

"Bethwaite was a long-serving NPA director and was acting managing director when the 1998 Iraq trip took place. Bethwaite has been a director of mining company North Ltd and was treasurer of the federal Liberal Party between 2006 and 2008. He is on the Sydney Catchment Authority board."

Prosecutions? Again none.

Tell me, Tories how is it that you love your country so much, and yet hate most of the people who live in it? The list is endless, Socialists, Marxists, Communists, Unionists, Fabians, Greens, Gays, Asylum Seekers, Migrants, Workers, Left Handed People, The Seven Dwarfs, etc etc. I looked to the left and tried to see what your on about. But then I looked to the (far) right and, Oh! Nothing. Where have they gone, looked to the bottom and what did I see, Tony Baloney and his motley crew of misfit bottom feeders.

‘morning SteeleRedux,

I guess if you had a case to make you would have made it?

This thread poses the question “What is the justification for opposing Australia’s wealth restoration?”

I used the metaphor of Saddam burning the oil wells as he departed Kuwait to highlight the economic “well head” destruction inflicted by the defeated ALP as they withdrew.

It’s a metaphor SteeleRedux, get it?

We are increasingly tuned to the way our progressive posters avoid addressing any topic content. You create a new narrative, throwing up Unicorns and in your case, even trying to change the meaning of original metaphor.

I doubt you will turn your mind to the topic but we can hope you come up with something relevant.

Since you cannot address the content of threads you create your own OT narratives, this makes you look bad so you try what? Oh yes. More narratives! Doh!

Paul1405,

I am a Conservative but I don’t “hate” anyone. I doubt most conservatives do either.

I did list Socialists, Marxists, Communists, Unionists, Fabians and Greens as a collective under the banner of “Progressives”. There was no hatred in my observation, simply the question why are these Progressives opposing policies intended to restore our Nations’ wealth?

You then added, ascribed and implied your “hate” list including “Gays, Asylum Seekers, Migrants, Workers, Left Handed People and The Seven Dwarfs”. It may suit your malignant view of humanity to believe that Conservatives “hate” the groups you pretend to feel compassionate about, but in the end you are exposed because true humanitarians are not selective.

You are selective because you are not a humanitarian, you are a confected political fake. Just like your fellow travelers OUG and SteeleRedux, there is a total absence of critical thinking, just adherence to the opinion of others with a bit of vengeful rhetoric thrown in.

A sad little puppy but I don’t “hate” you

Hi OUG,

Well that was a monumental hissy fit.

You still insist that your responses should focus on the metaphor, Saddam, rather than on the slash and burn tactics of the defeated ALP.

No wonder you can’t understand why your OT posts were deleted for being off topic?

Having scratched the surface of the persona we know as OUG, we find an ugly, vindictive, petulant, angry and very dysfunctional character.

I don’t give a rats if you repost your deleted posts, that’s between you and GY. But to compound the problem seems very juvenile.

OUG, most of us have had posts deleted at some time or other. I certainly have. I’ve also copped two one week bans in the past. Why can’t you do what everyone else does and take it on the chin? GY’s decisions are final and not open for discussion.

Get over it and move on
