That got away from me before I had finished.

As I said, the opposition did sweet FA. The next step could well be an actual one party state. We won't be standing up to China. We will be China. The bastards are not hanging onto the powers they have taken for themselves for our health and safety. They just want the power for power's sake.

Wasn't JFK a Catholic?
Posted by Hasbeen

Answer- The time of JFK was very different. But yes- Masons, Catholics, Protestants. Topology and landmarks.

Until Kennedy got the top job a Catholic was considered unelectable to the presidency, that's how deep the religious divide is in America, today a declared atheists would not be elected. US Presidents have always made great play of their "godliness" and how god dictates everything they do, even the killing of millions in America's unjust wars was the work of the hand of god. Many American treat past presidents with the reverence of a god, like the warmongering fools Washington and Lincoln. Americans love god so much they have given him the same reverence as money, in the 1950's they had "In God We Trust" printed on their banknotes. When your god has reach they status of hard cash you know you're on a winner!

Just having a quick look at the demographic of Australia, apparently, roughly 24% of NSW identify as Catholics.

I am happy for all the idiot left whingers to pile on to the new premier for his religious beliefs as they are probably assuring him of winning the next election.

The voters will decide on how well the Premier governs
for the state. I said earlier in this discussion that
I was impressed with the Premier's first press conference
where he made it quite clear that he will govern for all
voters in his state. That he is a team player. And that
and controversial issues will be challenging but there
will be a "conscience vote" allowed. Which sounds fair
enough. I can't understand why all the fuss about the
man's religion. He seems to be doing a good job and
governing as he said he would.

ttbn said- "I'm not sure that anyone thinks of Australian politicians in terms of respect anymore. I certainly don't respect them, no matter what brand they represent - and they do only represent themselves and the political machine that put them in parliament. And, as I said, mass immigration is all about them, their "club", their votes; not the country. It's us and them. "

Answer- Yes I'm sure many of us share these thoughts. Sometimes I'm unsure if their actions are a result of the burden of leadership or the burden of being an idiot.

We have our own burdens.
