'Teachers Unions: The Child Molester’s Best Friend'
'..Unions and public sector jobs are the most unholy alliance of our times. These beasts should never have mated, because they’ve issued forth monstrous offspring in the form of dire consequences that no one probably saw coming. And many victims have been left in their destructive wake.
You have two bureaucracies with the dual intent of protecting their power at all cost and increasing in size every year. These goals lead to a sickening metastasis that rots both entities over time until they become bloated, cancerous threats to the health of the body politic. Public service jobs now pay more, offer more generous guaranteed benefits and are far more difficult to lose (in fact, almost impossible) than those in the private sector. The unions have made sure of that, and the result is that every private sector job is now viewed by an increasingly ravenous and rapacious government-union-lawyer complex the way a vampire eyes a tasty carotid artery...'

PP reveals its inner pedophile
Oh just eff off you bunch of sniveling closet-molesters. That's right, I called them a bunch of pedophiles, I don't give a shit what these cockroaches think anymore. For decades these pustules have had free reign with children and look what we have, drug abuse, unwanted pregnancies, abortions and all sorts of depravity. No matter how much we tell these pustules to leave the children alone, they just keep coming back pushing more and more sex on our children. Quite frankly I've have had enough, the time for polite discourse is over, so just eff off you bunch of pedophiles, hands off our children and go fiddle with each other or better still, do us a favor and jump off a cliff.Fox News - A new report by the International Planned Parenthood Federation is advocating that children as young as 10 be given extensive sex education, including an awareness of sex's pleasures. ... The report argues that sex education should be "recast" to show sexuality as a "positive force for change and development, as a source of pleasure, an embodiment of human rights and an expression of self."
Out of Afghanistan. Now.
'U.S. commanders in Afghanistan face tougher discipline for battlefield failures
By Greg Jaffe Washington Post Staff Writer Friday, February 5, 2010; A01
The U.S. military has reprimanded an unusually large number of commanders for battlefield failures in Afghanistan in recent weeks, reflecting a new push by the top brass to hold commanders responsible for major incidents in which troops are killed or wounded, said senior military officials.
The military does not release figures on disciplinary actions taken against field commanders. But officials familiar with recent investigations said letters of reprimand or other disciplinary action have been recommended for officers involved in three ambushes in which U.S. troops battled Taliban forces in remote villages in 2008 and 2009. Such administrative actions can scuttle chances for promotion and end a career if they are made part of an officer's permanent personnel file.
The investigations are a departure for the U.S. military, which until recently has been reluctant to second-guess commanders whose decisions might have played a role in the deaths of soldiers in enemy action. Disciplinary action has been more common in cases in which U.S. troops have injured or killed civilians.
In response to the recent reprimands, some military officials have argued that casualties are inevitable in war and that a culture of excessive investigations could make officers risk-averse.
"This is a war where the other side is trying, too," said one Army officer who commanded troops in Afghanistan and requested anonymity in order to speak freely.....'
Enough. Enough, dammit. This is bullshit--the West's finest are being used in a PR exercise to pretend we're actually doing something about the threat of radical islam, they're being crippled and dying...for what, exactly?
So those same politicians who refuse to secure our borders, who put in place immigration and refugee policies which absolutely guarantee that we'll not only import radical assholes, we'll feed and clothe them and turn a blind eye to their support of the very people our troops are fighting--so those politicians can maintain the fiction that we're resisting the march of islam, doing something to avenge the thousands the primitives have killed and to prevent a repeat.
We're not. The political class has already surrendered to them and will continue to do so. All you see is mere window-dressing, a shadow-play while our elected "representatives" get on with the real business of politics--personal enrichment, whether that be of fame or money or power.
Forget the fantasy of the West rising up and crushing islam. Forget the days when Western societies were more or less cohesive entities held together by shared aspirations and a shared mythos.
It's over. Oh, the corpse is still animated and bread and circuses fool the people into thinking (if they think about it at all, which I doubt) otherwise, but it's over nonetheless.
I just pray to God at least some of those responsible for selling out the people of the West will one day end up swinging by the neck from the nearest lamp post.

Leave it alone Toyota
Ok let's get some shit straight, the prius is driven by stupid lefties and a lot of hollywood celebrities. These clowns believe that the rest of us are bastards and should be taxed to the eye balls so that they can entertain their various fantasies of fiddling with the weather. These clowns also have an irrational hatred of the Japanese because they eat whales.News.com.au - TOYOTA has told Japan's government it will recall its newest Prius hybrid vehicles worldwide, a transport ministry official said today. ..."The recall is being taken in response to reports of inconsistent brake feel during slow and steady braking on certain road conditions such as a pot hole, bumpy or slippery surfaces when ABS is activated," Toyota Australia said in a statement.
Toyota finds that the brakes of the Prius are faulty and this endangers the occupants of the car, so they institute an expensive recall to fix it.
Why?
The Prime Minister of NZ gave a speech today.
The substance:
that's it.
Not bad, eh, for a man who was going to fix what ails the country?

A new Australian political party is coming.

Why the Australian Protectionist Party?
Our present system of government, based on the Westminster system of government, which is in practice in various forms throughout the English speaking world, came about via evolution given impetus by a number of historical incidents. The basis of this evolution is the document known as The Magna Carta, which was signed by King John at Runnymead, in 1215. This document which limited the Kings powers and gave back certain rights to the powerful landholders at the time was a ‘political exercise’ orchestrated against King John on pain of rebellion if left unsigned. In this regard, we may safely say that this incident was the beginning of what we now know to be ‘people power’ and an exercise in Democracy. The landholders knew that in order for them to survive financially they had to curtail the power of the throne, and fear of armed rebellion by the Kings major stakeholders, the Barons, forced the Kings hand. With this Magna Carta also came the right to a fair trial and the beginnings of English Common Law which is the basis of our law as we understand them today.

'Tim Blair – Tuesday, February 09, 10 (12:54 pm)
Some 180 words into an ABC piece on female genital mutilation in Australia, this paragraph appears:
Melbourne’s Royal Women’s Hospital says it is seeing between 600 and 700 women each year who have experienced it in some form.
And that’s just in Melbourne. What about Sydney? Adelaide? Perth? What the hell is going on here? The hospital’s Zeinab Mohamud tries to explain:
“Some people when they hear they say, ‘how can that happen?’ It’s when something is cultural and the people have been doing it for so long, it’s not easy to either eliminate it or to say, ‘you have got a bad culture’,” she said.
You have got a bad culture. It’s not that difficult to say. Dr Ted Weaver, of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, is similarly delicate:
Dr Ted Weaver agrees and he says ordering people against the practice would be inappropriate.'
"Inappropriate? How about the practice itself is inappropriate? barbaric? Unacceptable in any Western society? And how about some prosecutions and subsequent deportations of these primitives?
There's a whole raft of laws which the practitioners of this thuggish mutilation could be subject to and the fact that they're not indicates just one thing:
ISLAM HAS A SPECIAL DISPENSATION IN THE EYES OF THE LAW.

Oi! You lot!
( convenience, exercise etc are good starting points,since her objections aren't financial)
The end is nigh
It's coming folks, the great global burning, the temperatures will soar, the poles will melt, the oceans will swell, the coastal cities filled with liberal morons will be swallowed (Why do I say that like it's a bad thing. :) ) up by the oceans. The end, the end I tell you is nigh, the time for talk is over, you must shut up and fall into line you insolent peasants, you must all be taxed to the eye balls. Only then will gaia be pleased, only then will she calm the oceans and let the polar bears live, yes really!
Yes really.Daily Mail - Snow chaos is set to return to Britain this week as temperatures drop to as low as -6c. Some parts of the country will have up to five inches of snow with ice expected to cause major disruptions on the roads. In a fresh blast of wintry weather, eastern parts of the country will be most at risk of snow showers but western parts could have the coldest temperatures because of a lack of cloud cover. The new icy blast comes after Britain's coldest January in more than 20 years, but it will be nothing like as bad as the ‘Snowmageddon’ that has descended on parts of America, with Washington DC smothered in as much as 32 inches.

since 0500, five coffees, two biscuits and a beer. And a classified number of cigarettes. Gecko's on the road home right now, the sun is shining, birds singing and there's no wind. What a great day to be alive! :)
the leftist disconnect:
'A BBC reader asks:
Why shouldn’t Iran have nuclear capability? Israel, India, and many other countries which are no more stable than Iran have the capability. Another case of the USA trying to impose it’s homophobic prejudices on the rest of the world and, to my shame, with this country’s backing!'
The pic is of two homosexuals being hanged by the non-'homophobic' Iranian regime....

Engineer Vs leftbot librarian...
I almost feel sorry for the lefty--he's being flayed by Ciaron on the subject of Japanese whaler Vs greenie boat in the latest collision controversy here.
keeping the ass-licking secret:
'Negotiations on legislation to replace the Foreshore and Seabed Act won't move into the public arena until agreement is reached with Maori, Prime Minister John Key says."
Leaving aside how the hell negotiations can "move into the public arena" after agreement has been reached in secret, does anybody else get the impression we, the taxpayers, are being played for suckers? Seems our job is to pay up--and shut up while the National Party uses our money and our rights to buy itself political protection by throwing money and real estate at the Maori Party.
This may well be the most devious, dishonest government in the history of New Zealand. And that's saying something.

Corrupt and shackled by parasites...NZ today.
'The reality is that the dominance of the state, manifested in various ways, has bogged down the country. Everywhere you look, things have become more complicated and more costly. Wealth creators and people just going about their lives are confronted by endless new laws and regulations which collectively are handicapping New Zealand’s prosperity.
A good example from local government was recently described by Owen McShane of the Centre for Resource Management Studies. Owen has long held that not only are most planning laws unnecessary, but the actions of local government - through the powers given to them by the Labour Government - have dramatically hiked up the cost of housing in New Zealand. Here’s how Owen explains it:
"Someone in Kaiwaka in Northland, trying to create a section on which to build a house for retirement now has to take into account the following payments and charges: a reserve contribution (Council has chosen this time of recession to increase Reserve Contributions from 5% to 7.5% – a fifty percent increase) of around $15,000; a roading development contribution in the region of $10,000; a consent processing fees of $2,500; a challenge to the consent conditions of $600; a double gated street crossing estimated at more than $20,000; surveyors’ fees of around $6,000; planning consultancy fees of between $3,500 to $5,000. This means that all up, the cost of a small section in small town New Zealand has been increased by around $60,000 because of arbitrary local government charges and fees."
It is no wonder that so many young New Zealanders are moving to Australia for affordable housing. Meanwhile those who stay are having to pay money they don’t have, only by increasing their long-term indebtedness to levels that are far greater than they should be. '
Muriel Newman
And why those monstrous, unjust, crippling fees? To keep ever more bureaucrats in the style to which they've become accustomed. And to justify their rotten parasitic existence they invent still more rules and regulations, extort ever more from the productive to fund their bloodsucking lives.
And the politicians who ought to be looking after the interests of those who actually produce in order to pay the bills instead sell them out to this army of leeches.

This, from a columnist in a Brit newspaper:
'LIZ JONES: Honour killings? What we've done to young Emma is just as shameful
Two very different teenage girls made headlines around the world last week. The first was Emma Watson, the 19-year-old star of the Harry Potter movie franchise.
She was named as the highest-earning female in Hollywood in 2009, only one of two women to make it on to the list of the industry’s top 20 earners.
The second was 16-year-old Medine Memi – her first name means ‘civilisation’. Her body was discovered tied to a chair in a hole in the garden of her home in a small village in south-eastern Turkey.
She had been buried alive as punishment for having talked to boys on the telephone. We know she was buried alive because of the amount of soil found in her stomach and lungs. Her father and her grandfather have been arrested.
........But can we in the West really claim the moral high ground when it comes to condemning these ‘honour’ killings’?
I would counter that the number of women harmed psychologically and physically by the West’s obsession with extreme youth far outstrips the number of women who are murdered for adultery, or even for the ‘crime’ of being the victim of rape in Islamic countries. '
Consider THAT for a moment --and if it doesn't give you the urge to place two hands around Ms Jones' neck and strangle the dumb cow then you're a lot more tolerant of idiocies than Wabbit.
A commenter here the other day blamed a large part of the PC culture and the loss of the will to fight on the part of the West, on the rise of the influence of women. And it's true. Women in politics, in the armed forces (at senior levels) and in the media have substituted feminist 'values' for the hard realities of power and survival. They've waged an unrelenting campaign against the masculine, against logic and reason and instead substituted feelgood emotional bullshit--as though our enemies subscribe to the same idiocies.
They've denigrated men, while at the same time enjoying the comforts, security and benefits of the hard and often dangerous work men do and those same women are at the core of the loss of cultural confidence that's going to destroy us. (note I said "men"--leftbots aren't included in that category, they're merely male)
The kind of moral equivalence displayed by Jones deserves to be met with howls of derision and contempt--and a swift kick in the backside. (violence against women? Not at all. Merely a display of gender equality.)
Update: 'Archaeosteam' has a great idea!

Scumbag...and there are plenty more just like her.
Last November Reihana abandoned the Housing NZ home in Massey, West Auckland, where she and her family had lived for four years, leaving behind a property that had been trashed. Housing NZ went to the tribunal, which ordered Reihana to pay $12,000 for repairs, which she is paying weekly from her domestic purposes benefit.'
So, this piece of crap is living in a house provided by the taxpayer, she wrecks it and leaves it in a filthy state then is ordered to pay for the repairs using of taxpayer's money!
And it's not the first time she's done it.
The welfare state--insanity writ large.

And the complaints don't only come from managers and bosses.
Social researcher Mark McCrindle said: "They also come from other people in the team who are of another generation."'

When the lily-livered rotten-to-the-core Brit police are reduced to the role of enforcers for islamist assholes- to shut down free speech at their behest- then it's time for fighting in the streets.

Wabbit's favourite quote:
"All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes to make it possible."
— T.E. Lawrence
Seven Pillars of Wisdom
An accurate description:
"To be governed is to be watched, inspected, spied upon, directed, law-driven, numbered, regulated, enrolled, indoctrinated, preached at, controlled, checked, estimated, valued, censured, commanded, by creatures who have neither the right nor the wisdom nor the virtue to do so. To be governed is to be at every operation, at every transaction noted, registered, counted, taxed, stamped, measured, numbered, assessed, licensed, authorized, admonished, prevented, forbidden, reformed, corrected, punished. It is, under pretext of public utility, and in the name of the general interest, to be placed under contribution, drilled, fleeced, exploited, monopolized, extorted from, squeezed, hoaxed, robbed; then, at the slightest resistance, the first word of complaint, to be repressed, fined, vilified, harassed, hunted down, abused, clubbed, disarmed, bound, choked, imprisoned, judged, condemned, shot, deported, sacrificed, sold, betrayed; and to crown all, mocked, ridiculed, derided, outraged, dishonoured. That is government; that is it's justice; that is its morality."
The new short cut to Australia
I heard yesterday that around 90 were granted asylum in Australia and will be flown here on a charter flight. Hows that for rolling out the red carpet. Free food, room, board, phones, internet, healthcare etc and to top it all off a fast track to citizenship. I honestly don't know why we bother with bullshit health checks and what not, does anyone know of any of these people being turned away?News.com.au - AUTHORITIES have intercepted a suspected asylum seeker boat in waters off Australia's northwest coast. The boat was intercepted by HMAS Armidale at 11am (AEDT) today about 11 nautical miles (20km) north of the Ashmore Islands, the federal government said. Initial indications suggest 89 passengers and four crew were on board the vessel. The group will be transferred to Christmas Island where they will undergo security, identity and health checks and their reasons for travel will be established.
leave it the hell alone, and GROW UP!
To see who's pushing it, take a look at the front page of the NZ Herald online. Lefty reporters and columnists, who also quote "prominent" sports people--as though either have some special insight into this.
As Andrei over at NZ Conservative points out most Kiwis are against changing the flag--but that won't stop these self-appointed arbiters of what's best for NZ getting their own way.
No prizes for guessing which symbols will get preference, either. Under the Prime Ministership of the spineless and unprincipled John Key, Maori are well on the way to renaming New Zealand and replacing the flag with their own.
One 'columnist'--Fran Sullivan--decries the current flag as being a reminder of NZ's "colonial past". Very fashionable among the leftard wankers who comprise the commentariat in NZ, that is.
Well, guess what? It's New Zealand's colonial past that made it a country fit to live in and provided all the benefits enjoyed by Kiwis today. Left to their own devices the original savage inhabitants would have killed one another off and contributed exactly nothing to the sum total of human progress.

Obama, the puppet frontman for nazis:
“Democrats have a Nazi collaborator, literally—international financier
George Soros—funding their phony grassroots organizations.”
-Ann Coulter
In a 1998 interview with Steve Kroft, George Soros acknowledged forging documents and pretending to be Christian to save himself from the Nazis, for which he feels no guilt or sorrow. “I was fourteen,” Soros said. “My character was made them.” Regarding his participation in confiscating valuables from innocent Jews, and serving death camp warrants, Soros told Kroft, “It created no problem at all.” Soros has no sense that he shouldn’t be there; he felt he was a mere spectator. Soros rationalizes his behavior: “If I didn’t do it, someone else would.”
.......In 2003, Soros set up a network of privately-owned groups which acts as a shadow or mirror image of the Party. It performs all the functions we would normally expect the real Democratic Party to perform, such as shaping the Party platform, fielding candidates, running campaigns, and so forth. However, it performs these functions under the private supervision of Mr. Soros and his associates.
.......During the 2004 election cycle, the Shadow Party raised more than $300 million for Democrat candidates, prompting one of its operatives, MoveOn PAC director Eli Pariser, to declare, ‘Now it’s our party. We bought it, we own it.…’”
“In his new book The Age of Fallibility, Soros writes, ‘The main obstacle to a stable and just world order is the United States.” He announced in 2003 that it is necessary to ‘puncture the bubble of American supremacy.’ Soros is working systematically to achieve that goal.'

Revolution 2.0. And let's start hanging and shooting these bastards. If not now, then WHEN? What exactly would be enough provocation, if not this?
Or will Americans--and subsequently Australians and Brits --shuffle off obediently into the cattle trucks and the barbed-wire camps? Because if we wait for a clear sign that totalitarianism is here it will already be too late.

Another bastion of islamic tolerance and justice
You know what I found surprising about this? Usually countries with such reputations are usually trying to better it. If they have a reputation of punishing rape victims, they try to stop punishing them. But not in the muslim middle east, no sir, over there they're trying to go the other way.SMH - A British tourist and her partner returned home after being detained in Dubai on charges of illegal extramarital sex after reporting that she was raped, the UK Consulate in the emirate said. ...The 23-year-old woman, of Pakistani Muslim origin, was allowed to depart after dropping allegations she was raped by an employee of a luxury hotel in Dubai, the UK's Sun newspaper cited her as saying in an interview.
She and her 44-year-old companion spent two days in jail after reporting the rape on New Year's Day and then four weeks on bail, The Sun said. Dubai prosecutors said on January 28 that they would prosecute the pair for illegally drinking alcohol, while dropping charges they had sex outside wedlock after the couple produced a marriage certificate.
Under the Islamic laws of the United Arab Emirates, Muslims aren't allowed to drink alcohol and sexual relations between unmarried men and women are illegal. Dubai has been seeking to shed its image of a free-and-easy destination for foreigners, posting signs in shopping centers requiring all women to dress modestly and fining some who fail to comply.

''Obama's aunt faces deportation
President Barack Obama's aunt, a Kenya native who once cared for his siblings and defied a deportation order in 2004, is preparing to make her case that she be allowed to stay in the US.
...."She wants to stay in this country so bad," said Mike Rogers, a spokesman for her attorney.'
I bet she does. She's heard about the opportunities for undocumented aliens in the U.S.

'Wronged Queensland pilot sues for $45 million
A QUEENSLAND pilot wrongfully jailed for nearly 1000 days on false child-rape claims says the Australian Federal Police made a decision to "get the bastard" before their bungled case was exposed.
Mr Martens, 61, was released from jail in north Queensland last year on bail before the Court of Appeal quashed his conviction and set aside his jail term.
The court slammed the way the AFP and the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions handled the case.'
News.com
A sleazy story about a man thrown to the wolves for political reasons. The AFP and CDPP brass responsible for this ought to themselves be jailed. But of course, they won't be.
If Mr. Martens action is successful the taxpayer will pick up the tab, the perpetrators will escape scot-free or at most there'll be a couple of "resignations" and those will be found a nice cozy job after a short holiday.
This is what happens when bastard bureaucrats don't have to take responsibility for the consequences of their actions and it stretches all the way from your local council apparatchik to our rulers.
Power without accountability--doncha just love it?

'Man set on by pit bull and its owner'
'A man was mauled by a pit bull-cross dog and threatened by its knife-wielding owner as he protected his young labrador-cross from a dog fight.
The victim, who was left with puncture wounds, bruises and grazes, said the man was ranting and punching his dog in attempt to agitate it to attack the labrador-cross.
Another man, with a mobile phone, waited nearby as a lookout.
....police were concerned that a person was attacked in public while out walking and want help identifying the pit bull's owner.
He was a slightly overweight Maori man in his 50s, who walked with a limp. He was wearing a vest, black or blue jeans and had a blue nylon bag tied at the top with orange rope.'
I hope they're not too harsh on the pit-bull's owner if they catch him--he was probably just looking for a change from beating up the missus, abusing the kids, trying to score weed and assaulting, robbing and raping tourists.
After all, being all cultural and indigenous and everything must get a little tedious after a while....

When electronics turn deadly
I can only imagine their terror in those final moments. I do wonder though, how come they never pushed it into neutral or just switch the engine off. Toyota is saying the electronics on their cars are alright, that may be true, but I'd err on the side of caution. In the last couple of years, I have noticed a lot of car makers are switching to electronics for the controls of the car, a lot of them are mainly functions like the radio, cd player, GPS systems, climate control etc. However some of them are going even further, like the above where the brakes and the accelerator are controlled by electronics.Times Online - The final moments of a family killed in a car crash apparently caused by a faulty accelerator on a Toyota vehicle have been made public as lawyers challenge the company’s safety record. Four members of the same family died in a hired Lexus that allegedly accelerated out of control.
Mark Saylor, 45, an off-duty California highway patrolman, died last August along with his wife Cleofe, 45, and daughter, Mahala, 13, and Mrs Saylor’s brother Chris Lastrella. In a 911 emergency call made from the car just before the crash, Mr Lastrella is heard saying: “We’re in a Lexus. . . and we’re going north on 125 and our accelerator is stuck. . . we’re in trouble. . . there’s no brakes. . . we’re approaching the intersection. . . hold on. . . hold on and pray. . . pray.”
