Ain't it the truth!

The sooner the ABC is privatized, the better for everyone!

We in the United States seldom are exposed to the Australian media. About the only thing we hear are stories from our returning veterans, from so many past wars, describing the Australians as the most reliable, professional, honorable, and downright tough allies that any country could dare hope to have.

Apparently the left wing poison of the media is incapable of penetrating the cream of Australian manhood.

We can only salute you, as we battle our own "Newspaper of Wreckage", the New York Times.

Thanks for 100 years of taking our sides.

What a lovely blast! "Cankerous comrades" - I may have to steal that one.

So much of the left defines itself not by what it stands for but by what it opposes that it hardly seems appropriate to expect coherent thought out of it anymore. The portrayal of Zarqawi as a victim is a perfect case in point. This can only be done by someone who is deliberately ignoring the man's antecedents - the beheadings, the mass murders - in preference to an ideologically-inspired point of view that one side must always be wrong, and that it is their function to find a way to support that world view and never mind the facts. Politics replacing objectivity is very common, but this is far worse, it is politics replacing rationality itself. These people pride themselves on not thinking like other people but in fact they aren't thinking at all.

Jeez. I didn't know you Aussies had government media. I presume you have free market alternatives?

Gerry Jackson is always a very good read. And he always slays the lefties with facts. The lefties own hypocrisy does them in all the time. Too bad Oz has as much problems with lefties as we do.
