Dear John Key – when can I and other citizens of this country expect our 35,000 hectares of public land given for our support and payment of your new carbon tax?

Surely in a democratic country like ours ALL citizens will receive the same beneficences as have been doled out to your co conspirators in passing this tax bonanza?

I await your reply with CO2 bated breath.

“Maori Party MP Hone Harawira wants tobacco company executives to front up at an inquiry into the industry, despite his threats to lynch them”

“Mr Harawira announced today the Maori Affairs parliamentary select committee would hold an inquiry into the impact of tobacco use on Maori” SC submissions close on 29 Jan 10

So… pretty much the the inquiry is looking into whether or not tax should be raised on cigarettes to prevent maori from smoking – whilst I would like smoking rates to decrease, I don’t think raising tax is the solution. There are many examples in NZ where the cost of a drug (or the threat of prison) is not a deterrent

Anybody else have an opinion on this?

Good comment on disaster that is Obama administration-

” The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with our presidency. It will be easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president.

The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails us. Blaming the chief fool should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their leader in the first place.

Our Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is after all, merely a fool. But our Republic is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who voted him their president. ”

What about the “multitude of fools” who voted in his predecessor? All these fools don’t have many options, R, D or neither. Their political system is what will struggle to survive, too many selfish power seekers and too many selfish money seekers. Corrupted by the worst of capitalism and too many competing government organisations, while a few keep bleating about the communists that never were and never will be.

These anti-tobacco, anti-fast food, anti-alcohol nazis will continue their campaign to either increase taxes or ban the things they oppose. This time the Maori Party will try to bend the arm of the increasingly weak Key government.

If a few morons, stupid, thick people cannot help themselves but to gorge on fatty foods, booze or fags, they consider their duty to tell the rest of us how to live our lives by banning these items. That the perverse logic the do-gooders use.

These groups are for an erosion of our individual liberty and personal responsibility. My answer to all of them is a terse f..k off!

“Corrupted by the worst of capitalism ”

Not really. I mean I know you’re a card carrying commie who daily lies his head off here pretending not to be, so your attempt to blame the political illiteracy of the American public on “capitalism” is just a case of “you would say that wouldn’t you”.

The truth is that Obama was elected by a citizenry dumbed down to the lowest common denominator. The left have ruined Americas education system, destroyed its media and thereby reduced a large percentage of its citizenry to a level of mind numbed ignorance and depravity that has no historical comparison.

Witness the fools who voted for Obama because he was “going to give them money to fill their gas tanks and pay their mortgages.

Witness the fools who voted for Obama only because of his skin colour.

Witness the fools who voted for Obama because they believed the message of “hope and change”, that same old lies and propaganda that sees every community touched by the left recede into ignorance and barbarism.

No informed and literate population would have fallen for such snake oil tactics. The left can only get elected by dumbing down the population. Same here in New Zealand. Same everywhere in the western world.

Leftist political supremacy can be related directly to the ignorance of the people, and that again relates directly to the extent to which the left control education and media. Capitalism is not corrupting anything. It hasn’t even had a chance.

It’s hard to believe that there is no technology available able to detect unwanted items without them seeing you naked.

Captain Neurotic – smoking

Why not have a licence, similar to a driver’s licence, to be made a requirement for the purchase of tobacco products. No personal ID’ed Smoker’s Licence – no sale. This licence should be available to anyone over 18 years of age, perhaps with a doctor’s relevant certificate, but on issue for a period of three months only – so anyone believing they are dependent on, or addicted to tobacco may in that time avail themselves of the licence. After the 3 month period no more licences would be issued – ever – other than replacement of lost cards.

This will cater for those dependent or addicted now, the group always regarded as a ‘difficulty’ when bans are spoken of, but would make tobacco products inaccessible to new buyers.

There would be an inevitable abuse of the system, with black market licences, the need to provide for tourist smokers and other problem areas, but those would probably not outway a serious consideration of a step like this, which would hopefully deplete the market, by natural attrition, to the point where tobacco companies would find their operation unsustainable.

1] Many people have to already produce ID to by tobacco products and alcohol.
2] If Government may raise the price of tobacco and if so why not put the revenue obtained into a scheme like this?

Manolo – “These groups are for an erosion of our individual liberty and personal responsibility. My answer to all of them is a terse f..k off!”

Well, yes that is a basic question. Governments, representing us and our use of health resources, either decide to do something about these issues or nothing, but if they are going to something, I wish to hell it would effective.

I also read where Turiana Turia is planning to oppose Paula Bennet’s welfare reforms. One of the prime areas where change is so urgently needed, and its going to be stalled by a fat useless old racist who wouldn’t even be in parliament if not for John Key’s foolish politically naive kowtowing to separatism.

The rod of power in the US has been handed back and forth between the left in the Republican Party and the far left in the Democrat party for too long. This cycle has to be broken, and it will only be broken by someone unaffected by the left’s mass brainwashing and dumbing down strategies.

That WAS THE WHOLE POINT of my suggestion. Make a limited-time-of-issue licence available to confirmed smokers, and then prohibit sales to anyone else [and just accept, as you point out, some genetically befert will break the ban] but those still smoking with their legal licence will DIE and with them an economic market for the manufactures of tobacco products. QED.

“But it’s also my view that if somebody doesn’t like a law then they are free to advocate for change and to express their concerns, but they can’t take the law in to their own hands and that applies equally to Cameron Slater as it does to every other New Zealander,” Mr Key said.

Mr. Key has already shown us what he thought of 87% of voters “advocating for change and expressing their concerns”, so not a very viable alternative to “taking the law into their own hands”.

” How on earth did they manage to outwit those bright and intelligent rightwingers and control the “culture”?”

It is not the right’s ambition to use government to force a culture upon the citizenry. The right does not want anything other than to be left alone. The fight is always going to be about the right resisting the left’s efforts to control, and those efforts have become so pervasive and invasive today that things have to change.

And they will. The wall you have built around democracy will be taken down brick by brick. Just as it was taken down in Berlin. We’re not going to take your stinking lying commie bullshit any longer.

The Climate is Changing – the political climate that is. eg:

Gore’s Books cause Warming in Britain
Washington, DC., January 8, 2009 – It has been reported in the London press that poor old-age pensioners are having to resort to buying books at thrift shops to burn to keep warm during the prolonged bitterly cold weather in the United Kingdom. In response to this humanitarian crisis, Freedom Action is calling on former Vice President Al Gore to join an effort to collect and airlift copies of his science fiction bestsellers to British people in dire need.

“We are collecting copies of Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth, Our Choice, and Earth in the Balance and will send them to Oxfam in the UK to distribute for free to vulnerable people trying to survive the cold weather,” said Myron Ebell, Director of Freedom Action. “We call on Mr. Gore to co-operate in our effort to relieve human suffering by providing copies of his books for burning in stoves and fireplaces.”

“It is appropriate that Al Gore’s books should be used to help keep poor people warm,” Ebell explained, “since the principal reason the British government is totally unprepared to deal with the brutally cold weather is because they have fallen for the global warming myths propagated by Gore himself in his bestselling books. Burning Gore’s otherwise worthless books to keep people from freezing is their highest and best use.”

Pete George [January 14th, 2010 at 6:39 pm],

[From GD of 13-01-10]

Your god sounds like a mean bastard Kris. But it doesn’t add up. If all of Haiti had converted to your “true” religion how would that have prevented the earthquake?

If all Muslims converted to your “true” religion would that suddenly make them caring prosperous people?

I think you will find that Christians have suffered from a lot of natural (and unnatural) disasters over the centuries. Can’t be praying hard enough. Or something.

Pete, you miss the point.
I was speaking of the benefits of infrastructural safeguards (eg building codes) that typically Western nations have in place as a result of their Christian heritage, and the blessings (largely past tense) of their past submission to the God of the Bible.
I outlined this in an earlier comment.

So while being a ‘Christian nation/individual’ doesn’t make you immune to disasters such as earthquakes, one of the benefits that you do have is in the area of infrastructural safeguards such as building codes. Something it appears Haiti had little or any of (building codes, etc).
And remember, I live in Wellington.

A little aside:
Did you know that Wellington has the most stringent building codes on the globe?
NZ is recognised as leading the world in the area of building codes, but Wellington has ‘additional’ requirements in the area of wind and earthquake loadings.

And anyone (Muslim or otherwise) who embraces the God of the Bible becomes a “son of God”, and is subject to His spiritual and physical protection. Those that do “convert” generally do become a more “caring prosperous people”.
Of course we are not immune to natural disasters – we live in a fallen world too, after all.

Primarily, though, the protection is in the area of eternal security.
At the end of the day, each and everyone of us, both Christian and non, have a death sentence upon us – you and I will both die physically, Pete. But as a Christian; a son of God, I will not die spiritually (Christians have eternal life), but those without Christ will suffer spiritual death; separation from God for all eternity in the lake of fire.

Bottom line:
Christ came not to feed the refugee and provide aid, but rather to save men’s immortal souls.
So while we may pour aid into Third World disaster areas, if we additionally shared the gospel with those individuals, then God would look after His now children both in the here, but more importantly, in the hereafter.

To save the body in this life, but not save the soul for the next, is essentially an exercise in futility.

The race to replace Ted Kennedy is hotting up, and it suddenly looks possible (not likely, but possible) that a Republican could take the seat, removing the Democrat’s 60th vote in the Senate and killing Obamacare. It’s a hell of a wake up call to the Dem’s, and I expect they’ll double their efforts and get there, but nice to dream…..

MikeNZ,
What Melanie is saying is best summed up by this comment on that thread:

“”Relugus: what it also shows is Cameron’s inability to say anything meaningful. It’s obvious that in his absurd voyage across egg-shells, he’d rather trot out bland PC nonsense than risk saying anything that might smack of conservatism. We need a proper leader who’s not afraid of speaking the truth””

It seems that PC-tiptoeing-on-egg-shells has infested conservatives all over the world. What are they so afraid of? From what I can tell, conservatives far out-number left wing loonies so it can’t be about loosing votes.

” It seems that PC-tiptoeing-on-egg-shells has infested conservatives all over the world. ”

Very good. Exactly the problem that the right needs to face up to. No more tippy toeing on egg shells. No more conforming to the left’s delusional guidelines.

Say it like it is. Fuck those arrogant disgusting little petty tyrants of thought and speech.

Say what you believe without the slightest care for the politically correct doctrines that the left have used for so long to mute criticism of their bizarre and destructive ideas.
