Great news: My home State of Queensland has just delivered control of our Senate for the next six years to Australia's conservative government.

Vietnam peaceniks ride again: "On Sunday, the New York Times featured a political ad counseling defeatism in Iraq – a counsel that has become commonplace in its pages. It was sponsored by an organization called "Church Folks for A Better America," and based in Princeton. The signatories included the same "church folks" – among them William Sloane Coffin Jr., Robert Drinan, and Robert Edgar (National Council of Churches) who counseled defeat in Indo-China, aided the torturers of American POWS in North Vietnam, and fronted for the Soviet dictatorship’s "nuclear freeze" campaign".

This article points out that the dreaded neoconservatives were major advocates of American intervention in Muslim Bosnia and Kosovo --- interventions which are now generally applauded. That rather puts the lie to the constant Leftist claim that the neocons are just lackeys of Israel.

Glenn Reynolds has rather cleverly managed to get one of his articles into The Guardian -- an article in which he extolls the Anglosphere and says that the French hostility towards America relects osssified French fear of American dynamism.

Peg Kaplan has found more Leftist "projection": "In November of 1938, through a carefully orchestrated plan that included support from both newspapers and radio, Germany's Nazi leaders touched off an outburst of violence throughout the regime aimed at destroying Jewish property and facilitating the implementation of Hitler's "final solution." It is perhaps the ultimate irony that the American left, which has long excoriated conservatives by comparing them to the Nazis, has so completely aligned itself with Hitler's methods and his totalitarianism".

An amusing feminist screech at Hugh Hefner's Playboy Club. All abuse. No facts. Excerpt: "Across the ocean, another generation of poorly paid, satin-eared bunnies is suiting up to serve drinks and dodge the roaming hands of boozy middle-aged men, and the nepotistically appointed Christie Hefner chairs an otherwise all-male board of directors".

Jeff Jacoby: "Kerry is a liberal Democrat, but in this campaign he is running as a reactionary: as one who wants to reverse course, to go back to the attitudes and practices that guided US policy when Clinton and the elder George Bush were in office. The younger Bush may be a Republican, but he is running this year as a radical. Profoundly transformed by 9/11, he sees the old playbook as feckless and dangerous, and is determined to set a revolutionary new course."

African Anglicans think homosexuality is an abomination and they have not hesitated in saying that to their alleged co-religionists among American Episcopalians and members of the Church of England. We see at the end of this article the response of the Western Anglicans: "We will cut off your funding". Apparently, catering to homosexuals matters more than spreading the Christian gospel in Africa.

Pygmy remains discovered in Indonesia (just North of Australia). It rather fits in with the pygmy element still alive in Northern Australia but nobody seems to want to make that connection. The reconstructed picture of the Indonesian pygmies tooks a lot like the Tasmanian Aborigines, who also seem to have had pygmy (negrito) ancestry: "This hobbit-sized creature appears to have lived as recently as 18,000 years ago on the island of Flores, a kind of tropical Lost World populated by giant lizards and miniature elephants". See also here. And see here for why the Australian Left try to hide the very existence of Australia's pygmies.

That power only, not principles, is what matters to Leftists is perfectly shown by the Kerry campaign. They have put up a man whose policies seem to be 99% the same as George Bush's even though they have previously disagreed violently with those policies. "Whatever it takes" is their rule.

Leftists are phonies. For most of them all that they want is to sound good. They don't care about doing good. That's why they do so much harm. They don't really care what the results of their policies are as long as they are seen as having good intentions
