With apologies to Max Ehrmann, who wrote the original text in Desiderata in 1927, “whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the communist plan for New Zealand is unfolding as it should”. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the failure of law and order and the political perversion of the police, […]
If Jimmy Shaw suddenly became leader of National there would be an outcry from the party’s supporters. The man in the street supporter that is. The hard core of the party, the same people who have let it drift steadily left for forty years, would probably be flat out on Kiwiblog and other social media […]
If you’re a believer in reason, you would no doubt be left speechless by the torrent of nonsense that is the accepted public discourse today. The term “speechless” is chosen specifically here.

Happy Easter Redbaiter – I echo the comments above.
Good blog posts and great bunch of commentators always worth reading. Sure beats having to “do battle” with jerks like Grief & The Hoodoo Man over on KB.

Keep up the good work Red, NZ needs true progressives; those who see that the place is heading in the wrong direction, turn around, and try a better path, which in the end will be the conservative path.

Hope you all had a great Easter.
Thanks so much for the encouragement guys and girls. You don’t know what it means to me.
Your comments on any issue are always greatly appreciated too.
EAD- You’re right about Kommieblog. Had a look at Mondays GD tonight. The usual Kommies and loons flooding the place. Just a complete and utter madhouse. You could count the sane people there on your fingers and toes.

The real filth came out in the comments following ProgBlogger Farrar’s breathless wittering on Barry’s capitulation to the Mad Mullahs in Tehran.

There are some great people on Twitter Gantt. If my spirits flag I find a quick look at Twitter will revive them. Along with the commenters who come here and or frequent Crusader Rabbit or Terry’s blog, they are fighting the good fight and fight it so well. I suggest you follow these girls if you don’t already-

Funny how much of the fight the women carry. I suspect they are frustrated that men are not speaking out strongly enough.
