Who is afraid the climate is changing and it will lead to doom and gloom? Who has their heads in the sand about the spread of Islam? The Lefties and Greens Foxy.

Paranoia is only a psychological condition when one feels afraid when then is nothing to fear. Same goes for so called Islamophobia, however those of us who recognise the real threat of Islam have valid reason to be afraid.

The effects of climate change on the other hand has been blown out of proportion. Even going by the IPCC's figures, it would be well over a 100 years before there is serious impact on humanity, if the current trends continue. That's nothing to be in a state of fear over, in the here and now.

Given the trends in Islamic expansionism, population growth, and out of control terrorism, I worry more about the long term effects on humanity for these reasons in a 100 years than whether or not the sea level will have increased by 13 inches.

Foxy, did you know there was a study done many years ago, perhaps in the 1920's to show how brain size equates to higher intelligence and advanced evolution? The study showed the Caucasians brains were larger than the negroes proving that whites are more evolved. Shortly afterward it was discovered that Chinese have larger brains than Caucasians and the study was declared ill informed and invalid.

‘morning Foxy,

<< right-wingers being much more susceptible to fear>>

Did you just trip over your own hypocrisy and fall flat on your face? Ooops!

These are about 5% of the published fear mongering you support. Sometimes with you Foxy, it’s just a matter of enough rope! LOL.

Questioning the mental capacity of those one disagrees with, insults, name-calling and personal attacks are not adequate substitutes for reasoned arguments and facts.

"The Greens leadership election process is about as secret as the process to select the Pope" - Chris Bowen, Labor.

Not a good show from the Greens who criticise others for not being totally open and transparent in their decision-making. Hypocrisy.

No love lost between Labor and the Greens and if anyone had any lingering doubt, Shorten's lackluster send off for ideologically-blinded Christine Milne would dispel that.

Spindoc's post on page 5 was a sage assessment of the abrupt U-turn of the Greens away from the ideological Green left extremism and spoiler tactics of Milne, Rhiannon, SHY and (neutered) Bandt. To quote Spindoc,

"For pities sake folks, get real. She and the rest of her faction got shafted. The Greens have split because they sense change in the breeze, particularly public sentiment for the Senate. The Greens have no choice but to do a 'Democrats' and clear out the more radical nay-sayers."

It is going to be interesting with Shorten and his shadow cabinet still back in the glory days of Gillard (Spindoc's image). Shorten and his ministers from the failed Gillard government are even playing Gillard's gender and class wars to steal some far left voters from the Greens.

In exchange for some impossible to satisfy far leftist swingers, new Greens leader Di Natale could easily take a large bite out of the rump of Labor voters disenchanted by shoddy, dismissive treatment by the factions and who reject the gender and class wars bumpf. Once lost those voters will not be led back by empty rhetoric (which the ex-Gillard government ex-ministers are rather full of).

Shorten and those ex-Gillard, ex-ministers should be feeling the shifting sands moving under their boots.

Poirot,

Don't make me laugh, I suppose that you are going to hold up Juliar or Krudd as rational and thoughtful people after the disaster of their regimes. The Coalition has achieved more in their 18 months than those idiots did in 6 years.

As for Crusty, voting against an ETS then forcing Juliar to bring in a carbon tax in a way guaranteed to poison the debate forever.

There is no shining light on the left.

SM,

"...The Coalition has achieved more in their 18 months than those idiots did in 6 years."

Guffaw!

Apart from their secretive and diabolical treatment of asylum seekers - and their ignoramus carbon tax initiative.....what have they done except stage terror alerts and flag festoonings every time something threatens to show them up?

They are an embarrassment of monumental proportions.

Looking more and more like fruit loops with each passing day.

I mean tell me what they've achieved - apart from not passing a budget?
