The Greens, being the malignant, tiny-minded totalitarians that we've all come to know and loathe, don't just get off on telling others how to live their lives in a political, economic sense. They feel the need to offer instructions about how they should relate to those close to them in personal contexts also.
Take this creepy directive from them regarding Australia Day:
Next Monday is Australia Day — which, for many Australians — means friends, family and BBQs. It also means the opportunity to have a conversation about climate change.
Will you pledge to have a climate conversation on January 26th?
Blech! Doesn't that just make your skin walk? The invasive arrogance of these creepy communards is just jaw dropping. Fancy thinking that the talk that goes on between friends and family in this social setting is their bloody business!
Sheesh. They'll be telling people how to take a shower next! Oh wait ...
And they're not just gently nudging the conversation in the direction of a certain pet subject of theirs. They're telling their brainless acolytes exactly what to say, too.
We’ll give you everything you need—- a climate conversation guide, some updated facts and figures about climate impacts in your areas... even some climate drink stickers you can print out and stick on the guests’ glasses!
This reconfirms a coupla things: Firstly, greenies generally are just brainless followers. They don't do their own thinking. They just sit there passively waiting to get told what to say by the leaders of their stupid movement, mindlessly mouthing these warmist dogmas without question.
Secondly, their leaders have no respect for them at all. They just see them as slave bots they can easily program to launch attacks at otherwise friendly get-togethers in backyards all across the nation. Socialist spammers is what they are!
Kinda makes sense that they think that the eeevil Rupert Murdoch is brainwashing the masses. Because they're doing it to their own retarded readership, they think everyone else must be using the same techniques of mind control.
Often intemperate and sometimes foam-flecked rants about politics, current events and popular culture by Perth blogger and very occasional standup Matt Hayden (obviously not the cricketer). Your problem if you can't spot the sit-down comedy.

Hashtagging slacktivists have it both ways with #JeSuisCharlie
In these days of social media saturation, whenever something bloody awful happens in the world you can be sure it will spawn some silly trending hashtag. The recent Sydney siege in Martin Place gave rise to #Illridewithyou, which was a hollow promise made by countless slacktivists concerned more about the feelings of Muslims on public transport than the lives of hostages being held by a crazed Islamist in a Sydney cafe.
Now, as a result of another coupla crazed Islamists running amok in the most barbaric way imaginable in Paris, we have #JeSuisCharlie. I suppose it's an improvement on the last hashtag because it at least seems to side with irreverent freedom of expression over murderous, humorless totalitarianism.
But apart from the fact that these fervent tweeps and Facebookers are not truly risking anything by simply including a word with a little symbol in front of it in their updates, quite often they'll include caveats about how they're not condemning Islam at the same time. Basically, they're trying to have it both ways.
This is galling because it's insincere. And to use a hackneyed phrase, it merely confirms that the terrorists have won. That's because they've got everyone terrified -- which is obviously the whole bloody point of terrorism. And the more they win using terror, the more they'll use it.
Basically, there's a war going on in all multi-culti democracies. Sure, it's a war being waged by a relatively small number of barbarians against western civilization and what it stands for. But it's a war nonetheless. These pre-mediaeval thugs walk among us, and have no hesitation in slaughtering innocents. And their violence is driven by Islamic ideology as much as anything else.
So either you are for western freedom against Islamic totalitarianism, or you're against it. You must take a side. If you're for it, then go hard or go home. Going hard would be republishing the Charlie Hebdo cartoons, or at the very least pointing out the elephant in the room and saying that Islam is the problem here.
Hell, if Bible-bashers had murdered those heaping derision on their religion (and Jeez, it's not like there's any lack of that now is there!) then I (and pretty much everyone else) would say that Christianity was the problem, right? So, in the same way, in this case, Islam is the problem here.
And for the benefit of any Muslims (devout or otherwise) who are reading this: If you think that slaughtering people who mock the Prophet is justified, you should either lighten up and get a sense of humour or grow a hide. Failing that, you should really reconsider if you want to even live in a western democracy. Because, frankly, it's high time you realized you are not a special case, okay! Jews, Christians, Buddhists, and all the rest cop massive serves of derision daily. And while they almost always don't like it, often arc up about it and even occasionally try to silence the mockers, they don't go around killing people because they were made fun of.
And back to the hashtaggers and their ilk: Given that we are in a war, then if you want to surrender, fine. But don't roll over in appeasement and simultaneously claim to be bravely standing up to barbarism. That's just silly and anyone with a heart, a spine and mind knows it.
