Great General Debate..

Where (DPF) gives me a chance to down National MPs I don’t like. Thats easy I only like two John Key and Steven Joyce.
Labour theres no choice I don’t like any… or any of the other parties MPs… Now that said.. lets debate the 21 hui and the choice of 4 flags for Maori to choose from.

Those at the hui are to be asked which of the following flags they would like to see flown:
-Flag of the United – later independent – tribes of NZ;
-The New Zealand flag;
-The New Zealand red ensign; or
-The Maori flag – sometimes called the tino rangatiratanga flag.
Lets see a flag to represent all maori…gee thats a hard one… so why are they having 21 hui to decide what we already know will be the tino rangatiratanga maori flag… the only one that really separates maori from pakeha… and at the tax payers expense.. It could lead to a good excuse for Steven Joyce to get founding for another bridge crossing and extra roads for Auckland. Maori one’s and pakeha one’s. The Maori one’s are the one’s you have to pay for to build then pay for to cross.

Maori meet to decide on national flag.

http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/2593897/Maori-meet-to-decide-on-national-flag/

If you haven’t accepted that we are an apartheid society yet, then now would be a good time to open your eyes. Now the Maoris are viewed as a ‘nation’, according to Fairfax Media, the operators of Stuff.

I have commented before on media reports and discussions comparing ‘Maoris’ to ‘New Zealanders’ and it is getting worse.

Anti smacking law has civilising influence on civilising maori a PI parents.

“I work with high Maori and Pacific populations in decile 1 [the poorest] communities,” she said.

“The majority are incredibly good people. They love their kids dearly. Surprisingly, they are the ones who have taken this anti-smacking law to heart. They all say to me, ‘Before I could have hit my kid, now I don’t know how to teach them any more.”‘

http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10584541

removing violent parenting from maori and PI culture is a grand step along the road to civilisation for these parents.

Stalker radars being removed from Police cars? Over 300 fewer vehicles in the Police fleet? So much for the NACT government’s pre-election support for better resourcing the Police. And why won’t anyone give us any answers?

Toad, I thought you greenies would be applauding 300 less evil motor vehicles polluting the environment? The cops can now walk the streets and beat the obesity epidemic. Killing 2 greenie birds with one stone there!

And, the Police are now better resourced – they have TASERS!

The ‘tino rangatiratanga’ flag started out as a Maori flag, and only later got dubbed the tino rangatiratanga one. I reckon it’s a winner, for sheer aesthetic appeal.

Hey when did the Confederation of United Tribes start getting called the ‘independent tribes’?

The following article by Melanie Phillips is quite insightful: “A British military expert tells truth to prejudice”.
Link: http://www.spectator.co.uk/melaniephillips/3752671/a-british-military-expert-tells-truth-to-prejudice.thtml

It raises the issue regarding Operation Cast Lead in Gaza at the turn of the year, when it was being demonised daily for its ‘disproportionate’ response to Gaza’s rocket attacks.

The article links to a speach by Colonel Richard Kemp, formerly both commander of British forces in Afghanistan and the intelligence co-ordinator for the British government.
Link: http://www.mesi.org.uk/ViewBlog.aspx?ArticleId=65

“It is worth watching or reading this remarkable speech in full — because he says things that are as well-informed, obvious and decent as they are rare and poorly understood in the society that he has spent his life defending. He points out, for example, that Britain, America and Israel are up against the same type of enemy which operates under a new and very different set of rules.”

In much the same way as there is little public decrying from Muslim nations following terrorist attacks on the west.
Heck, they were dancing in the streets following 911.

At least Cameron starts his sentences with capital letters and doesn’t end his sentences with needless ellipses.

Who knows? Who cares?

Alas this isn’t “Men in Black”, MNIJ. You don’t have a device which can blind the rest of us to the past and erase all memory of NZF’s dishonesty. But as it seems to have worked on you:

1. Susan Couch, whose tragedy was cynically seized upon by Winston Peters, Brian Henry, Ron Mark and the rest of that integrity-free bunch; who was forced to relive the whole event when the media spotlight was turned upon her; who was exploited as a shield for their immoral and questionably illegal acts; and who is now, I’m willing to bet, not one cent better off.

2. Everyone else, who were robbed of the money in question.

Act’s vote’s gone down because National is back in power and is so far doing (relatively) well in terms of economic management. It’ll bounce back, unlike NZFs. They aren’t going to bail you out again.

Quite agree, MNIJ.

But why did lefties think it was necessary that in order to achieve that, they needed to penalise EVERYONE else who actually (duh), already understands that rather elementary, simple and basic parental message?

The fact lefties can’t seem to answer that basic question or even recognise its validity on this and quite a few other issues, is the major reason you lost power. You got booted out, because of “nanny state.” And some of you apparently, still haven’t even learned what that means.
