The decrying of all things Conservative is a direct result of the "Disappointed" not coming to terms with a new government and no longer is the ousted debacle and grotesque machinations of the failed Labor party in power.
THE death of a 24-year-old Iranian man on Manus Island last week provided a useful reminder that the so-called intellectual Left is anything but intellectual.
Their claim to be progressive is equally wide of the mark. From the kneejerk over-emoting of Greens politicians and so-called human rights activists to sanctimonious sermons from preachers and the lighting of candles by well-meaning but misguided people, the compassion junkies are back on their drug of choice.
On the weekend, the Greens encouraged like-minded people to gather in parks, light a candle to mark the sad death of Reza Berati and demand the end to the Manus Island detention facility. Last week this sign appeared outside the Gosford Anglican Church: MANUS! IT’S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN PEOPLE ARE USED FOR POLITICS.
Lawyer Julian Burnside declared Manus a “humanitarian disaster.” Greens leader Christine Milne called the death of Berati a “murder,” demanded a royal commission and the sacking of Immigration Minister Scott Morrison.
Milne’s hubristic leadership stalker Sarah Hanson-Young presumed to speak for all Australians when she said the Australian people were “shocked” at this “gulag” and wanted it closed.
Not to be outdone, Greens MP Adam Bandt said “a young man came to our doorstep seeking our help and we killed him.” More low-rent politics from Labor MP Sue Lyons who said Morrison definitely had “blood on his hands”.
GK Chesterton once said there was scarcely a shade of difference left between meaning well and meaning nothing. Alas, the hysteria from the disaffected Left is not a case of well-meaning nothingness. It is downright dangerous:
