Australia liberated from their long national green nightmare
Watts Going On ^ | 9/8/13 | Anthony Watts

Posted on 09/08/2013 12:04:21 AM PDT by Impala64ssa

Today is a great day not only in Australian history, but also in world history. It marks the day when people of character and sensibility pushed back against an overwrought and pointless green agenda, and pushed back in a big way. They’ve had enough, and they’ve scraped the Krudd off their shoes and are moving forward.

Tony Abbot has won the Australian election in a landslide, and vows to abolish the carbon tax as a first order of business. Abbott has declared Australia is “once more open for business” in claiming victory in Saturday’s election.

It is a huge blow to the Rudd-Gillard labor party and their green goals, which were built on a lie foisted on the Australian people. In 2010 when Gillard said “no carbon tax” in a videotaped speech that has been seen as the key moment Australians lost trust: snip

Then, shortly after she was elected prime minister, she acted as if those words were never spoken, and implemented a carbon tax anyway. There’s nothing worse than a liar who is oblivious to their own lies, and in my opinion, this was the catalyst that set the stage for the end of labor’s green dream as well as their dominance in government.

Video at link. Looks like our friends down under made an important step in the right direction. Now they need to do something about their draconian gun laws.

Cheers to them! I would like enjoy watching them rebuild the great Aussie dream. Maybe it’ll catch on here in the states.

Weird phone auto complete inserted the word “like” which mangled my sentence.

Finally the reds are on the run in Australia, done in by their wacky environmental policies that were wrecking the nation’s economy.

I hope some of those winning political strategists come to America and help conservatives get rid of the environmental wackos in Congress and the Govt before we end up more of a looney tune country.

Meanwhile, the patriots of New Zealand have sent us Trevor Loudon to reveal to Americans just what a large marxist/socialist/”progressive” penetration has taken place in Congress under the name of the Democrat Party.

His new book, “The Enemies Within: Communists, Socialists and Progressives in the U.S. Congress” gives you documentation up the ying-yang as to who the country-wrecking reds are. Well worth getting, reading, keeping and sharing with other uninformed Americans.

Understand that it can be ordered thru Amazon.com or from his foundation, www.pacificfreedomfoundation.org.

Sanity in the Pacific. Insanity in Washington DC and other states occupied by the far-left Democrats.

I believe the source website is “Watts Up With That” not “Watts Going On.”

“There’s nothing worse than a liar who is oblivious to their own lies”


I’m confused. Is this article about Obama?

My first order of the day would be to kick the jihadis out, set up a USA-like second amendment law, eliminate political correctness, get the government out of peoples lives, and promote patriotism.

Any chance of a Flat or Fair Tax, getting rid of your/their version of socialized medicine and getting your guns back?

Why Clinton didn't adopted AU's banking-brokerage reform in the mid nineties when they asked him too is beyond me, other than his crew from GS ( R. Rubin etc ) couldn't run the board they way they wanted, which ended in disaster IMHO....
