Libertarian - You believe that the main use for
government is for some people to lord it over
others at their expense. You maintain that the
government should be as small as possible, and
that civil liberties, "victimless
crimes", and gun ownership should be basic
rights. You probably are OK with capitalism.
Your historical role model is Thomas Jefferson.

Miss Clark said through the spokesman she could not disclose details of the information provided to the Government since the announcement was made. "Australian officials have confirmed that there is no imminent threat of terrorist attacks in Australia," she said.

I wonder if the farmers can see the irony that cold weather is hampering their production while on the other hand they are being forced to pay for Kyoto agreement on global warming.

An update to the previous post, Michael Totten reminds us what the French paid for

F the French

"France paid millions of dollars for the release of three journalists kidnapped in Iraq, reporter Roger Auque told Afrique Magazine.

He said that - despite official denials - the Government had paid 5 million ($9 million) to free Liberation newspaper's Florence Aubenas and her Iraqi interpreter in June. Christian Chesnot and Georges Malbrunot were released last December for 2 million."

Are you still looking for the link fool?

The excuse in all the above cases was the war in Iraq, but let us not forget that in September 2001, long before Iraq, Osama Bin Laden proudly announced that he ordered the killing of some 3,000 in the United States, in the name of avenging Islam. Let us not forget that the killing began a long time before the invasion of Iraq.

Indeed, jihadis have been killing for a decade in the name of Islam.

Another Australian in devastating form in London

PRIME MIN. HOWARD: Could I start by saying the prime minister and I were having a discussion when we heard about it. My first reaction was to get some more information. And I really don't want to add to what the prime minister has said. It's a matter for the police and a matter for the British authorities to talk in detail about what has happened here.

Can I just say very directly, Paul, on the issue of the policies of my government and indeed the policies of the British and American governments on Iraq, that the first point of reference is that once a country allows its foreign policy to be determined by terrorism, it's given the game away, to use the vernacular. And no Australian government that I lead will ever have policies determined by terrorism or terrorist threats, and no self-respecting government of any political stripe in Australia would allow that to happen.

Can I remind you that the murder of 88 Australians in Bali took place before the operation in Iraq.

And I remind you that the 11th of September occurred before the operation in Iraq.

Can I also remind you that the very first occasion that bin Laden specifically referred to Australia was in the context of Australia's involvement in liberating the people of East Timor. Are people by implication suggesting we shouldn't have done that?

When a group claimed responsibility on the website for the attacks on the 7th of July, they talked about British policy not just in Iraq, but in Afghanistan. Are people suggesting we shouldn't be in Afghanistan?

When Sergio de Mello was murdered in Iraq -- a brave man, a distinguished international diplomat, a person immensely respected for his work in the United Nations -- when al Qaeda gloated about that, they referred specifically to the role that de Mello had carried out in East Timor because he was the United Nations administrator in East Timor.

Now I don't know the mind of the terrorists. By definition, you can't put yourself in the mind of a successful suicide bomber. I can only look at objective facts, and the objective facts are as I've cited. The objective evidence is that Australia was a terrorist target long before the operation in Iraq. And indeed, all the evidence, as distinct from the suppositions, suggests to me that this is about hatred of a way of life, this is about the perverted use of principles of the great world religion that, at its root, preaches peace and cooperation. And I think we lose sight of the challenge we have if we allow ourselves to see these attacks in the context of particular circumstances rather than the abuse through a perverted ideology of people and their murder.

PRIME MIN. BLAIR: And I agree 100 percent with that. (Laughter.)

Watch it Here

There are those out there that seek to destroy our way of life and our existance. Some people are helping them from the inside.

Subject: "Towel Heads" - A Political Correction.

"TOWEL HEADS"

Recently I received a warning about the use of this politically incorrect term, so please note, we all need to be more sensitive in our choice of words.

I have been informed that Islamic terrorists, who hate our guts and want to kill us, feel that we are not being understanding of their culture. They do not like to be called "Towel Heads", since the item they wear on their heads is not actually a towel, but in fact, a small folded sheet.

Therefore, from this point forward, please refer to them as "Little Sheet Heads."

Thank you for your support and compliance on this delicate matter.

"The British government cannot avoid its responsibility for these terrible attacks, which are a consequence of its support for war and occupation in Iraq and Afghanistan. The best way to ensure that there are no more such terrible attacks is for British troops to be withdrawn from there immediately."

A Letter To The Terrorists, From London

What the fuck do you think you're doing?

This is London. We've dealt with your sort before. You don't try and pull this on us.

Do you have any idea how many times our city has been attacked? Whatever you're trying to do, it's not going to work.

All you've done is end some of our lives, and ruin some more. How is that going to help you? You don't get rewarded for this kind of crap.

And if, as your MO indicates, you're an al-Qaeda group, then you're out of your tiny minds.

Because if this is a message to Tony Blair, we've got news for you. We don't much like our government ourselves, or what they do in our name. But, listen very clearly. We'll deal with that ourselves. We're London, and we've got our own way of doing things, and it doesn't involve tossing bombs around where innocent people are going about their lives.

And that's because we're better than you. Everyone is better than you. Our city works. We rather like it. And we're going to go about our lives. We're going to take care of the lives you ruined. And then we're going to work. And we're going down the pub.

So you can pack up your bombs, put them in your arseholes, and get the fuck out of our city.

An interesting essay on Iraq

"Is humiliation the same as torture? It is not -- that's why the words are spelled differently. To get to the heart of the difference, assume you were a prisoner at Abu Graib, and your interrogator started to remove your fingers one by one with bolt cutters. How long would it take you to beg to be posed with women’s panties on your head? Yeah, I thought so."

So an ultra-conservative ex-Hitler youth member (we are assured not an enthusiastic member) has been elected as pope on the day of Hitler’s birthday. Conspiracy? Co-incidence? I can feel a Mike Moore movie about to be made – oh that’s right president Bush is Hitler.

For Catholics then its even tighter doctrinarian rules and ridiculous situations. Aids will continue to spread in Africa, killing off the catholic churches largest support base – the irony is no lost on me there. And let’s not mention the kiddie fiddling, oh that’s right we weren’t.

Good luck to them, the pope is dead, long live the pope

IM: Is it true you're a lesbian?

HC: Heavens, no. It's obvious I'm asexual. That's why I married Peter. Well, actually I married Peter because I was standing for Parliament for the first time and the party bosses told me I would get more votes if I was married. I also started going to church around that time but thankfully I don't need to keep up that pretence any more. Ugh. Anyway, we've done focus groups that show men don't like voting for women, and women don't like voting for men. So that explains why I'm so popular.

The autumn outlook is worse in the North Island - where people need to prepare for colder than usual temperatures - than on the Mainland, says the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research.

And lets not forget the UK is under a foot of snow as well . Kyoto = Rubbish

What and What

Firstly I can't believe that the guvament is actually considering this, but the reaction from those affected just makes me go what? I mean WHAT?

One member of the families involved warned that, if the reforms were passed, it would drive New Zealand's wealthy families into the National Party's arms.

"It would almost guarantee the National Party was the best funded at election time."

How can these people actually vote for those who would fleece them in the first place? Am I being a bit naïve? Or is everyone in this country sucking on the state tit?

New level of hate

I really hate labour. I mean seriously. They are a bunch of smug meddlers who walk about with a mightier than thou attitude. God they piss me off. Two things in the media this morning, “Prime Minister encourages Iraqis to vote” and the "PM rules out tax cuts."

<>
On the first, Iraqis probably don’t care what you think Helen, you did nothing before and are still doing nothing now. On the Tax cut issue, I believe that it’s another case of the finger and the pulse issue. To quote the excellent movie Jay and Silent bob strike back. “ here is your finger, here is your pulse, your finger is stuck so far up your arse”

<>Anywho I digress. I have this dream that one Sunday in November, or when ever the election is, Helen wakes up and mutters to herself “ooohb didn’t see that one coming”
