//When the middle path has been relabeled as extreme- we must become extreme.

When the law is unjust- heros must become outlaws. Zorro.

Conservative Social policy has been labeled as extreme. Progressive Social policy has taken Australia to the precipice- now the only choice is war//

Why don't all you cranky old Tories band together in a militia and march off to war then? Should be a highly amusing spectacle for the rest of us... I imagine it will be like a live action version of the South Park episode 'Grey Dawn'.

Dear Toni Lavis,

For some in this discussion - it seems that they want
the "good old days" returned.

Here's just a reminder of those days:

A Pom fresh off the plane at Sydney airport is trying to
negotiate Australian customs. Finally when its his turn to
get his passport stamped - the customs officer starts
to rattle off the usual questions -

CO: How long do you intend to stay?
POM: 1 week.
CO: What's the nature of this trip?
POM: Business.
CO: Do you have any past criminal offences?
POM: I didn't think we still needed to!

Toni,

Not my sort of music but I do like the car.

Tony Lavis seeds of change exist I have great hope for us all, I find it in this morning SMH the Tony Abbott story, his own party it now seems may have voted only 55 percent in support of him,it has been said this will be the last time he is selected to run for them, that he may even have already lost his seat.
Climate change same sex weddings only two of the things his voters do not like about him, his electorate voted in the 70,s for it.
Mid terms, the list is long just maybe the very right have breathed new life in to progressives, *think about that! how ever did progress become a dirty word?*

Belly,
progress became a dirty word after the Leftists hijacked the term & began using it to describe their failures.

Dear Belly,

Franklin D. Roosevelt described a "Progressive," as
a person who uses their legs and hands at the command
of their head. Whereas a "Conservative," as someone
with two perfectly good legs who, however, has never
learned how to walk forward. ;-)
