Good onya, Bill!

I was delighted by Bill Heffernan’s comments last week on Julia Gillard. It was refreshing to hear a politician refusing to veil his deep-seated misogyny and archaic views with words like “family values”, “Christian ethics” and “decency”. More please. Say it like you see it, you old dinosaur.
I couldn’t agree more with Catherine Deveney’s comments about the need for more honesty in politics. Wouldn’t it be fantastic if politicians, and all those in public life, spoke their true mind rather than disguising true thoughts with weasel language?
Steve Fielding would justify every opinion by referring to the bible rather than the bullshit concept of “family.” Tony Abbott would do the same.
Julia Gillard would say that proposed Labor changes to WorkNoChoices are in response to union demands rather than pretending they’re not.
Steve Bracks would admit that he’s unwilling to tackle problem gambling in Victoria because his government is utterly reliant on the revenue rather than mumbling incoherently and ignoring the topic completely.
All politicians should look to those patriots at A Western Heart who lead the way in honesty. It’s just a simple tale of bitch meets pig:
Last night A Current Affair had the story of a stupid bitch who married a muslim pig, had a child with him, and then watched as said muslim pig kidnapped her daughter and stole her away.
Of course that begs the question of what the fuck is wrong with you women? Why the fuck are you still marrying these muslim savages and then wondering why they ‘change’ on you. Here’s a hint, you stupid molls – THEY DON”T CHANGE! That is how they really are and you are either too fucking blind to see through their bullshit act or you are too fucking stupid to understand what islam really is.
I propose legislation that any non-muslim woman converting and/or marrying a muslim should be stripped of her citizenship and deported to a muslim shithole of her owner’s…sorry…. her husband’s choice. That way there is no need to steal any children because they are already there.
Now that’s telling it like it is.

So, you’re saying it would be better if all politicians were hot-headed idiots like that random commenter you’ve decided to hold out as your stereotypical conservative (they’re not).
You say families are ‘bullshit’. Why, please?

No. If you read it properly you’ll see that I said it would be better if politicians were honest about their thought and beliefs.
Also, there was an element of sarcastic humour to the piece.
You say families are ‘bullshit’. Why, please?
Again, I didn’t say “families are bullshit.” I said the use of the slippery term “family” to justify policies based on conservative and/or religious beliefs is bullshit.
For greater details on this see previous posts.

Families are bullshit. There, I said it.

I know mine certainly is. I want my damn iPod back.
It’s good to see that extremism, hate speeches (which they want legalised for everyone except Muslims) and idiocy are alive and well at AWH.

Sad that so many of you think that familes are bullshit.
What is bullshit about families?

Correction;
“Julia Gillard would say that proposed Labor changes to WorkNoChoices are in response to union demands rather than pretending they’re not.”
Should read;
“Julia Gillard would say that proposed Labor changes to WorkNoChoices are in response to reasonable union demands rather than pretending they’re not, and that Labor be listening to even more reasonable demands from the Unions if voted in.”

Families are a capitalist construct - all obedience should be to leader and state, Fimsy. It is the only way forward to a classless Utopia!
