Politics have Changed

Our politics have changed - partly because politics in the USA have changed - where the opposition Republican Party is now commonly known as the Party of Cranks.

Our Liberal Party is the local version of the Republican Party - they look and act the same and both run similar far right agendas. They are both in opposition and likely to stay there and they both HATE that fact - because they both think they are the natural party of government. Their members are mostly delusional and ignorant and they both attract more than their fair share of strange supporters.

In both countries the legitimate elected government of the day has been subjected to abuse, lies, smear and innuendo - largely orchestrated by puppeteer News Corporation and directed by its Chairman, Rupert Murdoch and President of Fox News, Roger Ailes. Who, judging by their Wikipedia photo's are both old white and ugly males. But also by other mainstream media who are jealous of the eyeballs that this obnoxious behaviour attracts - and they want some of that too. Here in Australia even the publicly funded broadcaster - your ABC is doing it.

And old Uncle Rupert is of the view that his ideas and opinions are the only ones that count. Nothing else matters - he is the expert, the genius and the chief.

Which is why our leader Julia met him for a private one-on-one conversation when she was last in the US.

Previously Rupert would travel to Australia to meet with our political leaders and present his list of requirements - it’s a little bit sad that our political leaders apparently now travel to him to get their riding instructions.

And now Julia and her Ministers and their minions can't seem to understand why they are on the nose with the actual voters. You should all get your eyes tested and have your hearing examined. And an IQ test might also be appropriate.

Because people this is war. You are quite happy to support the dingbat shooting wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and send our boys over there to be killed and maimed but apparently you have no idea that the Republicans and Liberals and News have declared war on moderate governments in the US and in Australia.

And even if you did know that then you would not know how to respond. There is a solution but it's not worth mentioning if you don't even know what is happening.

The very first thing that you should be doing is reading the riot act to the ABC Board. But you won't.

I am not sure if it's because you are gutless or incompetent.
