The piece of paper we have to accept as a newspaper put a very touching story on a page with multinova locations and a sad charity story. The little story should be on the front page. Its a disgrace that this new government and the previous mob have allowed this country to deteriorate so much. A pensioner has to work two days a week to make ends meet and the thieving government cuts her pension and taxes her wage. The politicians in this country are the lowest of the low, heartless greedy bastards of the worst kind. Jenny Macklin the parliament house draft excluder is a shocking example of someone that has a portfolio that she is either incapable of, or too stupid to admit she doesnt understand the plight of pensioners. Lets hope she rots before the next budget like most pensioners will. Useless political luggage is the best one can say about her.

Calling on behalf of all War Veterans and Pensioners, remember how we fought and died for Queen and country to build a great Australia for our kids. As we have grown older we have grown wiser, and see the con jobs the Politicians have been pulling for yrs, pay peanuts and you get monkey’s, so we gave them coconuts and all we got was bigger monkey’s.
Using the Vets and Pensioners money for their hidden perks and life style. In any other type of employment you must have a license, Police check, proof of experience or health check, except of course if you go into Politics which explains a lot about politicians, as you can be as mad as a hatter without having to have a mental or emotional stability examination to see if your fit enough to drive a bloody car, let alone run a country. (Take Hitler, Mugabe, Idi Armin, Bush and his mates for i.e.)
Just take a few moments to reflect on every day life of yesteryear, and how it is today. Today we have Pollies with even greater adolescent minds and bizarre sexual behavior Federal and State; they have allowed foreign countries to take over our Industries, getting a pittance in return in royalties, they throw millions of dollars in aid to other countries and sporting venues, suck up to large corporatism and don’t turn a hair as the farmers rivers run dry, hospitals unable to cope thro lack of bed space etc and killing someone is a six month sentence at a holiday resort.
We have to fight again, this time for our grandchildren. They must learn old-fashioned values like self-respect, pride, courtesy, honesty and commonsense. I think the answer lies in the next elections both Fed and State, don’t vote for either Major Party, vote only for the minor parties and Independents that do not have a preference vote, or better yet vote Pauline Hanson. That would really put the frighteners on them. Its sad to realize that a great country like Australia has rapidly become a clone of the poor mans America, where drugs, booze and graffiti is the norm. So cut the crap and call a spade a spade like we did in the old days, and tell an officer exactly where to shove his brass rings; that Australia doesn’t exist anymore so lets not kid ourselves that it does, as its all sooo politically incorrect.

The old fashioned phrase that I {we} was brought up with I believe still holds true, “ You enter my house then you obey my house rules or out you go no matter who you are or who you think you are” “ Leaders of men {communities} lead by {exemplary} example”
There is a whole lot of frustration and rage amongst us old sweats that have to listen to the bullshit that spews from the wet behind the ears girl guides mistakenly called politicians. The sad truth is, youngsters of today don’t like the truth or change because they haven’t been brought up with it.
