Mangled Thoughts

Over the Easter retreat, a Leftist journalist commented on Costello, “he’s a whiner”. The journalist is female. She was referring to a column by Costello in The Age aka the “Spencer Street Soviet”. The “whine” is about how unfair the press is to him. Peter Costello was only being true to form, as observed before -

‘… look what happened the last time Leftists called Peter and Michael Kroger names:

When Peter was an undergraduate and member of the Monash University ALP club. Peter cried crocodile tears and complained to ALP machine heavies. They gave him a hanky and told him to nick off. He did, to the misery of the genuine Liberal Party. The ALP club members gave Costello and Michael Kroger what for, for being a pair of whining cretins who couldn’t get their own way and ratting.’

Costello and Kroger varnished the incident, pretending they had engaged in bloody warfare against the hard Left, putting themselves on the same plane as B.A. Santamaria, who did risk his life in real fighting the hard Left.

In the column, Costello cited Belinda Neal, and trivialised Iguanagate,

How immoral, to hold the wrong views (15/4/09).

Having alluded to it in, The real Kevin Rudd, and he is not fit to be Prime Minister, for recapitulation here is the case,

Scoop: New Development in Iguanagate

Costello puts what transpired, and Rudd’s  abuse of a RAAF member, down to bad manners. He asserts the disgust and outrage against what not only Belinda Neal did but also the subsequent actions of the N.S.W. Cabinet and Police, who did treat the victims as criminals, was due to one thing only:

She was on the political down in NSW, and hence a millstone around Rudd’s neck. Out of favour. It was all part of the PR stakes race and Neal had fallen far behind. To buttress this, he points to himself, whining ‘I’ve been unfairly treated by the Press too’. Further, he reflected on his adviser, why he didn’t come up with good ideas to improve his Press.

What! With Andrew ‘ethanol man’  Bolt, Tiny Tim Blair, Janet Albrechtsen, the Devines, the CIS and IPA, and the rest, all of them could not make Costello appear to smell sweater than the subtlest rose. Yes, that’s enough to make a grown man cry. As for his staffers, never mind being the economic ignoramus he truly is, Costello did not use the taxpayers’ money to hire people with brains; it’s all about good PR. Forget long suffering modest Australians, Costello was “dudded”.

Never mind spitting on the former staff of the iguana club; there’s nothing wrong at all with lawless politicians, bureaucrats, and police. After all, Peter Costello, demonstrating his great learning in law, declared ‘positive law’ is the rule of law. Let’s quote again a distinguished jurist:

Lord Mansfield’s 1772 judgement:

The state of slavery is of such a nature, that it is incapable of being introduced on any reasons, moral or political; but only positive law, which preserves its force long after the reasons, occasion, and time itself from whence it was created, is erased from memory: it’s so odious, that nothing can be suffered to support it, but positive law. Whatever inconveniences, therefore, may follow from a decision, I cannot say this case is allowed or approved by the law of England; and therefore the black must be discharged.

The rule of thugs, and Costello and the Rest of the Right in Victoria are all for it. Oh, one is not saying deliberately so, because this assumes two things:

1. Some sign of neuronal activity.

2. They once possessed a moral compass to smash.

The Right, and advised by the clowns in the CIS and IPA, converted Victoria into Vic. Inc., and this was the foundation for what came next, Brackistan. The Right in Victoria, through Kroger’s demolition of the Liberal Party, supported the anti-bill of Rights, the Blasphemy Law, and other measures overthrowing inalienable property rights that Common Law asserts not only against ordinary thugs, but also against politicians and Cabinets. The large scale, criminal racket into which the OPA and STO were converted by the Right is but one appalling instance of the Right’s contempt for real rights and of modest Australians. The Right show fangs when only they are hurt.

To draw things out further, here’s The Lord Nag Robert Doyle’s latest response to the exponentially increasing violent crimes by dangerous thugs:

1. Yesterday, on radio, Doyle announced he will use the Gotham City Plan. He will have bouncers in bars dressed like Batman and Robbin, done up in body hugging luminescent suits. This, the hero declared, will tell dangerous criminals, ‘here is the law’. No doubt they will carry flash cards reading, “Biff! Wham!! Blam!!!” Criminals will done neon suits too, in the same garish colours worn by the likes of The Penguin, and equipped with a complete set of “dark-side” Dick and Dora flashcards.

This morning, His Nagness announced an addition to his original plot. The bouncers and crims will alternate. One evening they will reproduce the Batman comic script, the next they will be World Cup soccer players. Bar staff will wander around rooms and issue yellow and red cards. No doubt vermin wielding knives will observe the expected etiquette of obeying referees as they stab hapless bystanders.

I won’t contemplate what penalties, particularly shooting at goals, would involve, and suspensions. But what the heck, there is already a stadium built for this “Ocker” version of soccer, Federation Square. Now Melbournians are told why this monstrosity was built.

2. Doyle’s response to the violence of the CFMEU was to say, both parties have to calm down and resolve their differences, so the City can function. A mere fishwives spat that could be resoled over tea and biscuits and a nice chat. Men and their families have been threatened, assaulted and pursued by the thugs and that is all Doyle has to make of it.

An officer of John Holland on radio this morning pointed out that they cannot pay already highly paid labour higher rates. What he didn’t pin is, Holland is already paying the market rate. The CFMEU wants to extract far more. Behind this is the Right’s complete destruction of the fight for free labour markets through worse than lousy economics ( I won’t grace what they put up by adding, theory).

It is reflects also the Right’s, and not just the Left’s, suppression of Common Law in favour of ‘positive law’. The punch is, economic action is the ground of law, and the root is inalienable property rights.

What a contrast to the Right. Here are some Leftists who are chilled to the marrow by the actions of the CMFEU:

ORGANISED CRIME: CFMEU pays Geelong bikies $1000 per week to picket West Gate Freeway upgrade

Not to forget either -

UNION OF SLEAZE: The health of sick kids jeopardised by CFMEU greed

I listened to what obviously Vex had also heard -

DEMON DIALLER: Convicted thug Craig Johnston calls 3AW to deny thuggery at West Gate picket, blames “Tongans”

Neil Mitchell also holds the solution is a nice chat over a cup of tea.

The descent of Victoria into violence isn’t a recent a development. It has been a long descent and both the Right and the Left are culpable for it. Peter Costello’s contempt for the modest man and their inalienable rights is a stark indication of why. As for Kroger’s finger puppet, Robert Doyle, he is showing every reason why he was never fit to sit in the State Parliament, let alone be considered as Premier material.

Yes, Peter Costello, young Mr. Gollo and the other former staff were treated to real institutionalised thuggery because ignoramuses such as Costello have not merely made it possible. Positive law is lawless thuggery, and puts its beneficiaries (politicians et al) above the law and the black irony is: It is violence against the rule of law and the inalienable rights of modest Australians. But the Right, and not just the diseased Left, hold modest Australians in contempt. Let’s end this with an anecdote from the Easter break:

As their response to the recession, the types who have wrecked the Liberal Party, are making a grand gesture. For the Easter break, instead of nice hotels and B&Bs. they booked out caravan sites. These are the modest man’s holiday retreats. One retired army man (a Vietnam veteran too) I was enjoying a good natter with mused:

“You should see them. Women in expensive outfits, putting on make-up. But I know what it is. They reckon I’m Brad Pitt.”

I quipped back, “I can tell by all the lipstick on your cheeks they are convinced you are Brad Pitt.’ His wife decided to put him on a leash (only jesting).

I suppose so many of them booked caravan parks, there was no room for smelly serfs. It showed. The only stinks there was the stink of make-up and after-shave.

The army man said they were making life irritating for the modest man. Holding up showers for one thing as they did their full make-up routines, and ran the water cold. They made it very difficult for anyone else to use the facilities; “prima donnas in action”.

Soon, no doubt, they will have the dog kennel builder to Toorak Doctors’ wives, Ted Baillieu, render caravan sites more to their taste, and right out of reach of modest earners and their families. After all, serfs and retreats don’t mix, like several tons of litter on nice, swept, clean sand.

What were they doing? Saving pocket money? Or was it their typical false sympathy for the modest man ‘”We are just like you”. Don’t ordinary Liberal Party members (most ex members now) know it.
