Shame Ruddster, Shame!

LiveNews – They may have served for our country, but they won’t be getting any money out of the federal government for awards earned during the Vietnam War. 100 veterans are due gallantry awards for heroic efforts in the Battle of Long Tan in 1966, but they won’t be receiving anything unless they fork out the $12 for the honour. The government last month approved the citations for the South Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry Unit Citation with Palm awards, but stopped short of allocating any funding towards them. Veterans Affairs Minister Alan Griffin says it’s a foreign award, and the government’s not responsible for any payment.

The Rudd government has no problems handing over our money so that the Ruddster can fly around the world telling working families how terrible things are and how much worse they’re going to get. They have millions to send our Navy to look at whales and monitor the Japanese far in the southern oceans. They spent millions setting up the useless petrol watch and grocery watch. But they can’t find a lousy 12 bucks for 100 men who put their lives on the line for the country. Perhaps this is a sort of get-square because these 100 men tried to stop the communists. Either way, Shame Ruddster, Shame!

Radical Islam – Different preachers, Same hate

Daily Mail – Hardline female ‘preachers of hate’ are radicalising Muslim women at one of Britain’s top mosques. The Saudi Arabian preachers were secretly filmed ordering women to murder gays and ex-Muslims. Undercover reporters from Channel 4’s Dispatches recorded the lectures in the women’s section of Regent’s Park Mosque in London. An unnamed Saudi woman is seen mocking other religions – labelling Christianity ‘vile’ and an ‘abomination’. Another, known as ‘Angelique’, claims Britain is a ‘land of evil’.

The investigators attended lectures for two months at the mosque, which had promised a clean-up after another Dispatches probe just 18 months ago exposed it for spreading extreme Islamic views. During one sermon, a woman called Um Amira says: ‘He is Muslim, and he gets out of Islam…what are we going to do? We kill him, kill, kill.’ In the programme, to be screened tomorrow, she adds that women adulterers should be stoned to death and people who have sex before marriage should get ‘100 lashes’.

Beware the gaseous leftist platitudes

09.10.2007 – Labor leader Kevin Rudd has promised an extra $2 billion for health and put forward a plan to end the blame game between the federal and state governments.
Kevin Rudd [14.10.2007] – And what I’m offering the Australian is new leadership, both to help working families under financial pressure and new leadership for a plan for our country’s future. ….. I will end the blame game between Canberra and the States. I’m prepared to put up my hand and say “The buck stops with me“
Kevin Rudd [15.09.2007] – Where instead the nation had a leader prepared to put his hand up and say, “the buck stops with me”. ….. What Australians are looking for is new leadership – new leadership that extends a helping hand wherever possible to working families in dealing with the problems of today.
Kevin Rudd [15.10.2007] – The other big challenge is offering help to working families under financial pressure. ….. But here are two areas where you can provide real assistance to working families. ….. Chris, what Australia is asking for is new leadership with fresh ideas for the nation’s future and fresh ideas to help working families.

Brilliant choice McCain!

Hat tip Woman Honor Thyself.
She definitely has my vote, too bad I can’t vote. Need to read up some more on her, but that video is definitely a good start. I’ll add quotes as I surf the net pilfering merrily. Updates to follow.

NRO – Strength in foreign policy; reforms of taxes and health care geared to the middle class; and a moderate social conservatism: It’s a potentially winning message, and now Republicans have a ticket that is suited to it.

Via Michelle Malkin – She has brought Republicans and Democrats together within her Administration and has a record of delivering on the change and reform that we need in Washington. …. She has actually used her veto and cut budgetary spending. She put a stop to the “bridge to nowhere” that would have cost taxpayers $400 million dollars.

Leftist double standards

Daily Mail – Councillors have been ordered not to eat during town hall meetings while Muslim colleagues fast during the holy month of Ramadan. All elected members at Left-wing Tower Hamlets Council in East London have been sent an email asking them to follow strict Islamic fasting during September no matter what their faith. As well as restricting food and drink until after sunset, the authority’s leaders have decided to reduce the number of meetings throughout the month so they do not clash with the requirements of Ramadan. …. But some members of the Labour-run council say the demands favour one religious group over the others.

So the leftwingers finally get a bit of their own totalitarian medicine fed to them ey, not surprisingly they aren’t happy about it. If only they could see this when they’re busy marginalizing Christianity and pushing them out of the public sphere. Anyway, I’d like to see these members hold the line if some Muslims in the area were to get a bit hot under the collar, issue the odd death threat, accuse the leftists of intolerance, racism and Islamophobia etc.
