“So Key mixes with the mainstream media and his advisers, and has little exposure to ideas outside of this little prog liberal enclave he has constructed for himself.”

Who is the deputy PM and one of Key’s friends? A Conservative.

Seriously Red your blather is embarrassing and has little to do with reality. No Key’s not as conservative as I would like, but he’s hardly the progressive socialist you claim.

If you want to join Yowza in the political wilderness where you can rant but never achieve anything of substance, your going about it the right way. Whining about electoral reality is pointless. The fact is that NZ is not going to elect a Traditionalist Conservative ( I doubt you would recognise real Traditional Conservatism) anytime soon, and Key, unlike you, is intelligent enough to understand that.

Under Key’s coalition we have had partial asset sales, labour reform, restrictions on Union bullying in the workplace, the 90 day trial period, three strikes, charter schools, increased funding for private schools, tax cuts for the top earners and corporations, and tax cuts for working folks to come.

NONE of that would have occurred under a Labour/Green coalition.

Yes there have been increases elsewhere, such as GST, but it’s just plain dumb to think that with the the Christchurch earthquake and the GFC the government could have taken slash and burn approach to spending and the economy.

Adults (and I’m discounting both you and Yowza in that category, for the same reason) understand that politics is the art of the possible, not wishful thinking and fantasies.

The funny thing about the left and their application of the derisive term “birther” is the fact they never apply it to those who first began saying Obama’s birthplace was Kenya.

Namely Barack Obama himself and Bill and Hillary Clinton.

See here for Obama’s shortened authorised biography stating unashamedly that he was born in Kenya.

http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2012/05/17/Obama-pamphlet-in-use-2007

Then there was Nancy Pelosi who altered the wording on the Standard Certification document by removing the phrase “legally qualified to serve under the provisions of the United States Constitution”. Something not ever done in any Presidential nomination ever before.

Nancy removed this phrase before signing the document because she knew he was not qualified.

Key is not a conservative – nothing like it.

“……..And how long must we endure attempts by advocates such as Greens Senator Richard Di Natale to legalise, legitimise and normalise suicide by calling it ‘euthanasia’?”
Quite right. Depressed people need help, counsel and support. They don’t need a lethal drug or a bullet to the head. Giving depressed people an easy way out is simply unthinkable, given our high rates of suicide. This is especially true regarding youth depression and suicide……..”

By default the government promotes suicide in general when it promotes euthanasia.

This is a dangerous road to go down as you will have depressed people such as youth questioning the value of life and death even more. No good will come of this.

To help stop suicide, MP’s should be giving life affirming statements – instead of publicly celebrating the cultures of death; abortion, homosexuality and euthanasia.

Conservatism has Christian beliefs – and affirming life is central to both. Key doesn’t do that. He’s a fake.

The latest Consrvative advertising begins:

Call us crazy, but the way we see it a politician’s job  is to follow the instructions voters give them.

I’m not sure who has given instructions here:

Cunliffe must really, REALLY hate research
Press Release: Steve Taylor

David “Tricky Dicky” Cunliffe must really, REALLY hate research, given his recent foray into Education.

David “Tricky Dicky” Cunliffe

“Smaller class sizes” whines Mr Cunliffe.

“2000 extra teachers” bleats Mr Cunliffe.

“$350 million to fund it” gasps Mr Cunliffe.

What an intellectual lightweight Mr Cunliffe must be , says me.

If I could show you a summary of 50,000 individual research studies, and over 800 meta-analytic (a study of studies) studies, that concluded that “smaller class sizes” don’t make any difference at all to teaching outcomes, and that teacher quality, reinforced by regular real-time supervision and incremental skills and performance progress via regular evaluation was the key to teaching success, what would your response be?

Incredulity? Surprise? Disbelief?

Unfortunately for “Tricky Dicky” Cunliffe, one of my academic roles is as an Outcomes Researcher, so every time Cunliffe makes a populist, vacuous, absent-of-evidence claim about………..well…………anything, then I can simply smash his claims down with valid, reliable, and consistent evidence to the contrary.

Professor John Hattie is a name known by most in the International Education field, and he is one of our own.

Here is a study presentation that Professor John Hattie has compiled that illustrates the factor effect size of “what works” in delivering quality teaching.

Class size ranked 105th out of 138.

Seriously, if David “Tricky Dicky” Cunliffe is the supposed IQ and debating giant of the Labour Party, then I literally cannot wait until we cross paths in the public arena.

Because for me, it is going to be a case of Barrel, meet fish, with me doing the shooting.

Not metioned, but Taylor is apparently the Conservative opponent of Cunliffe in New Lynn. It follows another media release: Conservative Party Candidate not going to apologise

Well, we have had an invitation to call them crazy.

Redbaiter ,in-depth analysis and background of the promotional booklet ,

“…The editor of the biographical text about Barack Obama which was included in the booklet maintained that the mention of Kenya was an error on her part and was not based on any information provided to her by Obama himself:
Miriam Goderich edited the text of the bio; she is now a partner at the Dystel & Goderich agency, which lists Obama as one of its current clients.

“You’re undoubtedly aware of the brouhaha stirred up by Breitbart about the erroneous statement in a client list Acton & Dystel published in 1991 (for circulation within the publishing industry only) that Barack Obama was born in Kenya. This was nothing more than a fact checking error by me — an agency assistant at the time,” Goderich wrote. “There was never any information given to us by Obama in any of his correspondence or other communications suggesting in any way that he was born in Kenya and not Hawaii. I hope you can communicate to your readers that this was a simple mistake and nothing more.”

Read more at http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/birthers/booklet.asp#1jVj0MAqvwv0akrA.99

Here a New York Times article 1990 about Obama at Harvard Law School clearly states he was born in Hawaii .

http://www.nytimes.com/1990/02/06/us/first-black-elected-to-head-harvard-s-law-review.html

Breibart has a lot to answer for in publishing this incredibly misleading and deceptive article, pandering to the gullible and prejudiced like you.

I think the truth about Key is that he is not an ideological man, he’s a pragmatist. This tends to piss off both the left and the hard right, because he does not fit into either camp, and is less concerned with abstract ideology than with what actually works in reality.

This to me makes him a conservative, of the “small-c” variety anyway.

So pro Obama sources have tried to cover up Obama’s blatant deception. How impressive.

There are plenty of long standing reports that corroborate the biography and that Obama never once took the opportunity to correct.

For example-

http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2012/05/ap-2004-flashback-kenyan-born-obama-all-set-for-us-senate/

Then there are all of the images here.

As for Snopes, don’t bother me with any horseshit from that Democrat voting/ donating husband and wife team besotted with the idea of a black president regardless of the fact that he’s a communist plant bent on destroying the Constitutional Republic.

I saw the full page advert by the Conservative Party in the Press today. It’s actually very good. It turns the media’s themes about them being crazy on their head, to good effect. It’s an indication that Craig is going to run a much better campaign than some, like PG, think.

National is likely going to need coalitions partners, it would take very little for the polls to narrow. My preference would be for both ACT and the Conservatives to have the numbers to achieve that. Both would have a positive influence on National’s direction, and I trust Key to keep some the more dubious policies of both parties out of bounds.

Lol that penny no so seems to think that the words “right now” make any difference.

in apologising for being a man, the timing was not important, he was pandering to a crowd. the only reason to apologise for being a man would be if he was apologising to other men for his behaviour unbecoming of a real man.

how would penny have had time to hear any of this, from all accounts she was too busy shilling for votes in her doomed campaign against john key, that will make as much of an impact as a fly against the windshield of truck.

No. But then mainstream conservative Christians are not promoting a theocracy.

You can see the parties statement of principles here: http://www.conservativeparty.org.nz/index.php?page=Principles

They are fairly moderate imo, certainly nothing to anyone not on the Left should be worried about.

One of them is: “A belief in a decent society that values life, individual privacy, the freedom of the individual (including freedom of speech, conscience, worship and assembly), the right to defend one’s self and property, the importance of family and the role of civil society;”

@ Pete George

a big difference (apparently) in polls on immigration yet Woodhouse is saying it shows people are concerned but don’t care much. Meanwhile Andrea Vance is bad mouthing treasury economists “policy wonks’ (wonky) and saying no one cares. This is corporate interests at work. Whatever the other (opposition) parties are doing is peanuts by comparison.
they get away with it because as Bryce Edwards said “two of Labour (and the liberal left’s core values) are identity politics and rape culture” i.e interests of the ordinary people are no longer represented.

Radio New Zealand National’s Morning Report has issued an apology over a live interview with MP Brendan Horan where he made negative comments towards Winston Peter.

Morning Report host Suzie Ferguson read the apology this morning which said “In a live interview with independent MP Brendan Horan on Thursday’s Morning Report, Mr Horan made a number of defamatory remarks regarding New Zealand First leader, the Right Honourable Winston Peters. No evidence was provided to substantiate those remarks. The broadcast was a serious departure from Radio New Zealand’s editorial standards and should not have been aired. Radio New Zealand deeply regrets what occurred and apologises to Mr Peters”.
Radio New Zealand is said to be looking into the matter further.

I doubt New Zealand would have anything more to show for it if Horan had left Parliament and had been replace by another NZ First list MP. MULFORD, Helen Jane would have been next off the rank.

In comparison to Horan what do we have to show for the contribution of any of the other NZ First MPs this term? Including Peters?

Despite hyperbole there probably isn’t as much blood on the walls & shit on the sheets as you may think. The majority of same sex marriages, so far, have been between females who I’m given to understand do not practise anal intercourse to any great extent.

…..”Between 19 August 2013 (when the law became operational) and 31 March 2014, 668 same-sex marriages were registered in New Zealand. 385 of these were between female couples and 283 were between male couples. Just under 60 percent of these were between New Zealand citizens, and roughly one-third were between Australian citizens.”…..

And being opposed to Obama is not racism, it’s common sense. Assuming all or even most Tea Partiers are racist is just as silly as Red’s view that Key is a progressive socialist. And attacking blogs on the Right when your quoting the far left Daily Kos does nothing for your credibility.

“Nope liberals believe in freedom. ”

Some do, some don’t, and some hide their real ideology behind the label.

“What is done in private between consenting adults is not my business.”

I agree, but that position (no pun intended) is different from the Liberal-Left’s view that what some consenting adults do in private should be publicly promoted, tax payer funded, and all opposition stifled.

Personally homosexuality rates very, very low on my list of concerns. I really don’t care what consenting adults do in private. But real freedom cannot be had by demonising differing points of view. And some liberals, most on the Left, who claim to believe in social freedom one moment, will toss that out the door when it suits them on another issue.

Plus, my point was that Mikey is fond of claiming others are obsessed on the issue, yet he’s always responding to the issue, which looks obsessive to me.

Generally speaking I think people wanting to adopt should be in a traditional marriage. However, I can envision exceptions to the rule. For example, if a gay man has a son from a previous heterosexual marriage, is bringing him up with a male partner, then dies, then I can see that it would be a matter of justice and decency to allow the partner to adopt. Splitting them up would be cruel.

Lot’s of ins and outs on that issue, so I’m closer to the “don’t know” position. But like the euthanasia issue it needs a lot more debate and research, and far less shouting and slogans from both camps.

Seriously, that was hilarious Reddy! 🙂

One liberal-lefty atheist, two liberal-righty atheists, and one moderately conservative-right Christian is your definition of “the usual crowd”?

What color is the sky on your planet?

Griff, ShawnLH, naaska et al,

http://www.rpvnetwork.org/profiles/blogs/gay-adoption-horror-duke

Google, “gay males pimping out adopted son.” and you get 14 million hits.

You can come up with stuff like, ‘Better two loving gay males than fucked up violent heteros”
all day long. But pragmatic common sense would tell most worldly people that it is just not worth
the risk. (the male homosexual is the most promiscuous animal on earth)

Even most honest homosexual males would agree that it is just not worth the risk.

Not just the risk of physical abuse but the risk of psycological damage to the boy regardless.

Social liberalism is one thing but it does have limits.

Homosexuals of either gender who desire to adopt a child are simply selfish people.

Women who enter a lesbian relationship when either one or both already have children is OK with me.

This would be one instance where we would have to rely on scientific studies before even beginning to form a hard opinion. For instance, though as you state gays are promiscuous does that trait necessarily make them a risk to kids.

The number of stranger adoptions in NZ is minuscule so most will be cases where a custodial mother/father marries another male/female who wishes to co-parent.

In these cases adoption would only be formalising what was already practise. The risk will be neither increased nor decreased.

The sort of things that go on in south Auckland……
Eight years old and the two parents had not noticed the child was profoundly deaf—no language and not even toilet trained!
That’s just neglect.
The actually abuse sexual and physical is far worse.
Kid did not listen… well just iron his ear off.

re: gays and adoption – has anyone seen this pic doing the rounds on the internet? Two barechested homosexuals “meeting” their new baby son for the first time.

http://mashable.com/2014/07/04/dads-newborn-photos-worldpride/

Yeh, so where do you begin?
Obviously, neither of them gave birth, so you’re already adding another person into the mix (the real “surrogate” mother).

As one blogger writes –

Marriage between men and women is a pre-political, naturally emerging social institution. Men and women come together to create children, independently of any government. The duty of caring for those children exists even without a government or any political order.

Marriage protects children as well as the interests of each parent in their common project of raising those children.

Because marriage is an organic part of civil society, it is robust enough to sustain itself, with minimal assistance from the state.

By contrast, same-sex “marriage” is completely a creation of the state.

Same-sex couples cannot have children. Someone must give them a child or at least half the genetic material to create a child. The state must detach the parental rights of the opposite-sex parent and then attach those rights to the second parent of the same-sex couple.

The state must create parentage for the same-sex couple. For the opposite-sex couple, the state merely recognizes parentage.

Poor kid. He nicely accessorizes a gay marriage now.

Fair enough, but I will stick to my common sense gut feeling that homosexuals adopting children, is just wrong.

And two homosexual males adopting a boy, theoretically now legal in New Zealand, is just fricken sick.
And I don’t need a scientific study to help me form that opinion.

And I am liberal enough to not have much of a problem with one lesbian in a lesbian relationship being artificially
inseminated to create a family.

PS Fletch, good post. V true.

for the record I didn’t thumb you down for that question.

I would have no problem at all with a gay All Black, good on him when he inevitably turns up.
I’ve got nothing against homos as such, you cant help the sexuality you are born with.

I was on about homosexuals adopting children. That is wrong, period. And especially homo males adopting boys.

“What a totally oddball question from a faggot hater of everything normal”

What on earth does that mean D4J?

Are you suggesting (as that is how it is written) that I hate poofs?, if that is the case then the remainder of your statement simply does not make any sense.

Or, are you calling me a poof (in the hope that I might finally agree to go out with you) AND a hater of everything normal?

So, which one is it D4J?, I suspect it might be the first as you clearly have no understanding, nor experience of normality. Come to think of it, I really do hope it is the first as I am getting a little sick and tired of your advances.

Given the violent reaction my question elicited from you I wonder if you might be able to shed a little light on the subject of Gay All Blacks.

Do you know something about a couple of poofs in the Crusaders that the rest of us don’t?

Meanwhile, academics at a conference held by the University of Cambridge contend that paedophilia is “natural and normal” for males.

Surrogacy Versus Adoption :

Surrogacy: Gay parenting is a community project; two fathers, an absent mother, a periodical child phsyciatrist, and ‘other women’ – usually the female friends and family of the ‘fathers’ who are needed to replace the absent mother.

The child misses out on half the childhood experiance. They are also torn from their heritage, genetics, mother, siblings and culture.
.

They suffer all the way through their childhood from missing a natural parent – or both. Their natural questions are not answered with the natural reply of death, like in the cases of adoption —- but with the unnatural reply of ‘equality parenting’.

Gay parenting does not make a childhood.

“………..Ethicist Leon Kass says this:

“We practice adoption because there are abandoned children who need good homes. We do not, and would not, encourage people deliberately to generate children for others to adopt.” Or as Maggie Gallagher has put it:

Surrogate contracts and adoptions are not comparable. Adoption is the fulfilment, not the negation, of parental responsibility. Especially in a country where abortion is cheap and easy, when a woman gives her baby up for adoption she has thereby acknowledged her obligations to her child. Almost always, adoption is part of a conscious attempt to do what is best for the child. The surrogate mother does not admit she has any special obligations to her child; she does not admit that it is hers. The child cannot obligate her, she obligates it: It is a product, conceived for sale and use.

David Blankenhorn also adds his voice to the fundamental nature of adoption: “Adoption is a wonderfully pro-child act. Adults respond to a child’s loss with altruistic, healing love. . . . Adoption does not deny but in fact presupposes the importance of natural parents. For this reason, despite all the good it does, adoption is ultimately a derivative and compensatory institution. It is not a stand-alone good, primarily because its existence depends upon prior human loss.”

Finally, we should let the children so conceived themselves make the case. Jessica Kerns, a product of surrogacy, also explains why we are dealing with apples and oranges here:

It really is the buying and selling of babies, and the commodification of women’s bodies. There’s a huge difference between the adoption world and the donor-conceived world. [The] institution [of adoption] was not … created for the parents, to give them a kid. It was created for the opposite, to put children in a home, because they’re here already and we’re responding to a catastrophe. Donor-conceived [children], we’re creating them with the intent of separating them from their biology, and you know … it’s vastly different…………”
