Argh.
We can’t let that happen here.
I think a quote from Blackadder is appropriate here:
Blackadder: How are you, Darling?
Darling: Not all that good, Blackadder. Rather hoped I’d make it through the whole show. Return to work at Pratt and Sons, keep wicket for the Croydon Gentlemen... marry Doris. Made a note in my diary on the way here. It simply says... ‘Bugger’.
has the fat lady sang?
And the pendulum swings. Amazing how this works- people get caught in this false dichotomy of lib or conservative, and feel the need to react.
Did Howard ever try to restore gun ownership?
Meanwhile, France is going the other way, and the UK may soon follow.
Article pulled. Howard has conceded defeat.
The Aussies have been leaning towards this day for quite a while. Now it is reality. The world will have to deal with terrorism now or later. The world wants to deal with terrorism later. Its World War II all over again, thinking they can ignore evil and it will go away. Sad and tragic. A lot more people will be killed as a result. (And they want Kyoto?? They want their economy ruined from a fraudulent and phony issue?? Ugh. They are in for major pain.)
I wrote little on this topic, and when the time of campaigns actually begin, and the time comes to vote, those voting should hear nothing from outside their own country. I wish the same could be said of those who campaign here for high office, in the United States.
I will pray for wisdom for Labor Leader Kevin Rudd, Mr. Rudd's Administration, and his tenure as the Leader of Australia (affectionately know to me as the Aussies). Again to the People of Australia, I offer a prayer that our nations will continue on a path to benefit ALL of our People. The times are too perilous to NOT wish Labor leader Kevin Rudd and the people of Australia, every success. May God keep Australia safe, and Australia's People safe.
Of course they would find a way to make it Bush’s fault.
Of course.
That is indeed sad news. Howard is a hero of mine, no matter what. Aussies, I wish you well. I can’t say I know anything about Rudd, so I’ll wait to for an opinion. But Mr. Howard is an exceptional man...and ally.
Someone correct me, but wasn’t John F’in sKerry female offspring down there working on this for the last couple of years?
Ugh. If he's dumb enough to fall for the Kyoto scam he's not to be trusted on much of anything else. Besides that he's a "former diplomat" which puts him in my negative column immediately until proven otherwise.
Goodbye Mr. Howard, we'll miss you!
Expect a big loud cheer from the head-chopper crowd. That’s the end of Australia.
Howard was a true friend, and someone who disliked the Islamofascists as much as we did.
Sad news, but life will continue. Howard is one of my favorites. By his actions on the world stage, he showed us that he sees the world as it is, a rare trait for anyone, especially for a world leader. He will be missed.
I’m so very sorry to hear this, Fred!
Getting a taste of the feeling before it happens here... :-(
This will be the stinger in the heart of all Australia.
not good
There are too many countries deciding to commit “political suicide” without even fully knowing about what they just did to themselves! In the U.S., the Republican Party at every political level continues to function without any true “political spine”! What’s to truly prevent the “far leftward socialistic political change” that probably will be coming here, starting in January ‘09? There are way too many “stupid voters” and way too many “politically ignorant” voters all over the U.S., and their numbers continue to increase daily! Help!!!
