Thank a teacher

If Labor wins next weekend you can thank a teacher. That is, according to those fair and balanced patriots over at A Western Heart who have responded to a new poll.
“KEVIN Rudd maintains a “staggering” lead over John Howard among younger voters, who could also deliver Labor the scalps of Malcolm Turnbull and Joe Hockey.”
That’d be the yoof that’s been thoroughly indoctrinated by it’s Marxist teachers, that has little sense of history and a huge sense of entitlement. The same youth that’s completely unaware that the Libs removed an enormous national debt by good economic management. The youth that values novelty above content, that regards duty and service as a quaint relic that they can afford to ignore while they pursue the latest fads and trendy trivia. Government brought to you by the selfish and ignorant generation. Oh joy!
Although I’d hardly call myself Marxist I’ll gladly accept some of the responsibility for Rudd winning next Saturday if AWH insists.

Awww, I couldn’t comment. Apparently I’ve been banned.
I bet AWH is thanking God that JWH cut as many of those foolish youf off the rolls then, eh?
PS “Good economic management”. LOL. No, you cretins, JWH simply turned the national public debt into an enormous national private debt. Bravo. And he hoarded cash through a GENIUS combination of raising taxes (in a way which hits the poor the hardest), cutting expenditure (in a way which hits the poor the hardest), and flogging off national assets.
One thing I can’t WAIT to hear the end of is this crap about the Liberals being “good economic managers”.

I take it from that thesis that we didn’t actually have any teachers or “yoof” back in 1996, 1999, 2001 or 2004 when Howard pissed it in?
I’m quite amazed at this demographic shift.

Marxist indoctrination my foot. These conspiracy theories of the right get crazier and crazier.
Still, it’s not like the objective old days. I can remember when our deputy principal in primary school told us quite impartially, how the Maritime Union of Australia was responsible for all of the problems in the country.

today’s Advertiser “Union man runs at PM”, nice and sensationalist, and doesn’t mention the shit shovel until a good way into the article.
Probably I’d have gone with “community minded citizen selflessly attempts to shovel shower of shit, roughed up by government goons”. Yes, much better.

not to skite, but as a “yoof”, I damn near topped the state in history, both ancient and modern.
Those “western fart” scumbags are sore losers. I trust they will have plenty of opportunities to adjust to the concept however.

The amusing thing about all of you lefties is that if your prediction about the Ruddites is fulfilled then you lot will without doubt be whining far more about his government than I will be. You lot will be stuck with the problem of trying to defend his failure to meet your expectations. While my fellow conservatives and I can slip into the fun of taking the piss out every (inevitable) stumble and blunder that Rudd and his government will certainly make..

Except nobody here has even given an unqualified endorsement of Rudd. Complaining about aspects of a Rudd Government won’t require and backtracking at all.

I never mentioned unqualified endorsements at all, however you lot seem so taken by the possibility of ousting John Howard that you are almost entirely uncritical of the alternatives offered by the Ruddites.

Actually, there’s been repeat criticism of Rudd’s Labor here, on my blog, on Jeremy’s, and on a variety of others. So I’m not sure people are entirely ‘uncritical’.
What’s more amusing are the apocalyptic predictions of your far-right lunatic mates, Hall. They think we’ll all go broke, the sky will fall in, union ‘brownshirts’ will beat up old ladies on a daily basis, etc. As always, there’s no hint of rationality there.

“While my fellow conservatives and I can slip into the fun of taking the piss out every (inevitable) stumble and blunder that Rudd and his government will certainly make..”
1. Rudd sickens me.
2. I can’t imagine any worse blunder than the Iraq war.

If Iain; Hall were to read every post that mentions Krudd on GrodsCorp he will find that I and the other authors at this site are far from fans of the man. He is, however, less worse than Howard.

oh FFS ;;;;;;, how many times do I have to say “slightly less evil” before you get it through the boil atop your shoulders.
