Bill, to that I say Amen.

Indeed Bill, it depends on ones definition of 'stable'. In that context I suppose that Cuba would be called stable and Italy unstable.

‘Stable-government’ and the Greens are antonyms. The faction ridden Greens are racing towards collapse with insults and claims of impropriety flashing backwards and forwards between factions. In NSW the former Communist Party member, now Greens Senator, Lee Rhiannon is already angling for tired old Bob Brown’s job as party leader. She belongs to the red heart of the watermelons, a party described by former Greens Member of Parliament, Kris Hannah, as having “a small communist core and a great mass of politically naive people”. Whilst Brown has a moderate level of political acumen he’s no match for those who see his party like newly elected Greens MP for Melbourne Adam Bandt, who as he loudly denounced capitalism, labelled the Greens as a “bourgeois” political party that could be used to push his socialist agenda. There is no commitment to the environment from this faction - just old fashioned anti Australian policies which include withdrawing from ANZUS, halving the size of the Defence Force, closing our ports to US ships and stopping all foreign defence force people from training in Australia regardless of the purpose. Long will the ALP rue getting into bed with these extremists.

It seems that bulls aren't only antagonised by red, green works too. What if the poor thing is colour blind?

Labor getting into bed with the Greens is what kept Howard in power for so long. Back in bed with the same drongos will likely cost Labor this time round. "Blue Collars" give up on Labor when in bed with the anti-worker Greens.

Any government influenced to this degree by the Greens is a government which will trash Australia’s sovereignty over its own laws, land and people. The Greens’ manifesto stresses that “global governance is essential”. In other words the Greens want a ‘World Government’ so they can ram their insane beliefs down the throats of people who live in countries which don’t want their lunatic solutions to problems that many nations don’t believe exist. Part of the deal between Labor and the Greens is the setting up of a committee to advise the Government on a carbon price or what in reality is a tax on electricity, fuel and production, be it food or manufactured goods. The makeup of the committee is explained thus by Greens Senator Christine Milne “You will note in the agreement the proviso for membership of the committee is that the people going onto it are committed to a carbon price…” So no alternative views allowed, not even from committed environmentalists or members of the ALP who don’t think a tax on electricity is necessary or practical. No, it’s the Greens way or nothing. Gillard has slipped into bed with a pack of bullying neo-fascist totalitarians. There will be tears…

What's all this fascination with beds? I'm going to bed.

" I'm going to bed." Good option - however, it won't be an option once the Greens / Labor cabal price electricity and other forms of energy out of the reach of all except the elite. The only way to keep warm will be to retire to ones bed just like they did in the Dark Ages. Still I guess you could always burn your books.

I think we all need a stiff drink!
