Here's a funny thing about the loony Left. The ABC's Leigh Sales, in a recent article, revealed that Leftist thugs are the main abusers of herself and the likes of Stan Grant. These two, far enough to the left for most of us, were actually accused by these lunatics of being 'bigoted' towards the Coalition! We see only the tip of hard Left extremism; it is much worse and crazier than we think it is.

Remember, "Sticks & stones may break your bones, but names will never hurt me". It was the chant we used at school if someone was calling us names.

Perhaps we were tougher than the petals of the lefty today.

Dear mhaze,

You posed the question: “When does free speech become hate speak".

When any criticism of Gladys Lui's connections to the Chinese Communist Party are deemed to be racist.

It was the same line Abbott rolled out when blocking criticism of the Australia/China free trade deal which was so obviously detrimental to Australian workers.

Dear Hasbeen,

What on earth are you talking about?

When there were calls for Bettina Ardnt to have her Order of Australia revoked you said:

"Surely this is an example of hate speech by the back door. No matter which door it uses, the perpetrates should be prosecuted."

So you couldn't even stomach that yet you are calling others petals?

Enough.

Elon Musk's purchase of Twitter should not come as
a surprise. He's a man who's been hugely successful
and he probably noticed that Twitter is a largely
influential product but a lacklustre business
which he can turn around. He was probably looking for
another hard problem to tackle.

Finger-pointing at who's more biased - the "Left" or
the "Right" gets tiresome. Both sides have their own biases.
It should not be a competition. I think most reasonable
people know all about free speech versus hate speech and
they can work out the difference between the two for themselves.

Every bird has two wings. The left and the right.
It can't fly with just one wing. It needs the two.
So too a society needs two political wings so it
can reach greater heights.
