The blatant lies of the BBC about the aid effort in the wake of the tsunami disaster are just breathtaking. There is not the faintest shred of truth in what they say. I give up! Even the NYT says the Australians were first in with aid -- followed closely by the U.S. Who do you think the BBC says got there first? The U.N.! I doubt that there are any U.N. personnel on the ground there to this day! The BBC was once a respected organization but that is well and truly in the past now that the Leftists have got hold of it.

The multicultis win: "Until the 1980s, the arrival of the First Fleet was re-enacted every Australia Day by white Australians. A square-rigged tall ship would anchor in Farm Cove. Spectators lined the shore cheering as actors in 18th-century style uniforms and three-pointed tricorn hats rowed ashore. The annual event was organised by historical societies and enthusiasts (including this writer), but there was moral support and financial backing from the Festival of Sydney and the Australia Day Council. The aim was to remind people that European settlement was founded on January 26, 1788. But this Australia Day there will be no official mention of this First Fleet - let alone first European settlement - by the Festival of Sydney or the Australia Day Council".

Michael Moore spiked: "Oscar on the shelf or not, Michael Moore is not getting much respect at his old high school. Despite his fame and many honors, the filmmaker has been rejected all four times that he has been nominated for Davison High School's Hall of Fame."

Pro-terrorist Presbyterians: "The church is hosting a program and brunch entitled "A Report Back from Palestine" at which the Boston support group for the International Solidarity Movement, or ISM, will speak to the congregation. "The time has come for Christians to stand with Israel against the terrorists who for 50 years have been trying to destroy the Jewish state, and who have brought suffering and death to thousands of Israelis and Arabs, said Dennis Hale of the Christian Jewish Anti-Terror Alliance.... The ISM says in its mission statement that the Palestinians have a right to "armed struggle" and its leaders have endorsed suicide bombing as a "noble" form of jihad. The group's media coordinator, Flo Rosovski wrote, "'Israel' is an illegal entity that should not exist."

In the wake of the Armstrong Williams fiasco, Peg Kaplan has up an amusing list of what it takes to corrupt her.

My latest posting on MarxWords notes that Engels said that Germans should use terror against the Slavs. Hitler had a very dim view of the Slavs too, funnily enough! My latest posting on "A scripture blog" looks at Philippians 2:6 ("He was in the form of God") and 1 Corinthians 8:6 ("through whom are all things").

That power only, not principles, is what matters to Leftists is perfectly shown by the Kerry campaign. They put up a man whose policies seemed to be 99% the same as George Bush's even though the Left 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.
