Goff on Labour’s Mistakes: What about Fixing a Few Phil?
September 11th, 2009 6 Comments
I have got to give it to Phil Goff, the more I hear from him the more I like. I grew up in a Social Credit family. I lived in Uncle Gary’s East Coast Bays electorate, my mum was even his electorate secretary at one point. I remember watching my father and uncle on the […]

Election Lollies: Labour Vote Buys with Student Allowance
October 16th, 2008 Comments Off on Election Lollies: Labour Vote Buys with Student Allowance
Socialism is an easy disease to catch. Labour roll out their election bribe for students and our daughter Sheridan (Sherry) gets excited. She starts Uni in March and at that point will have to quit her part-time job as the hours will conflict with her studies. For a 16 year old she earns a fair […]

Labour Cause Car Accident (Almost)
October 2nd, 2008 5 Comments
Whilst driving, through Labour’s Sue Moroney’s territory, on my way back from my weekly lecture at BTI in Tauranga, I laughed so much I nearly drove into a pole. Narrowly missing the pole, the laughter saw me nearly swerve into fence. This is what I saw on the side of Galloway St in Hamilton: I […]

Benson-Pope
July 27th, 2007 1 Comment
Benson-Pope is someone that the more closely you observe him the more his slimy, smarmy, bullying, bullet-dodging just pisses you off. Until recently I used to live in Dunedin so I have had a few encounters with Mr Benson-Pope a.k.a. panty slut boy and have crossed swords with him politically and know other people who […]

A common objection to belief in the God of the Bible is that a good, kind, and loving deity would never command the wholesale slaughter of nations. In the tradition of his popular Is God a Moral Monster?, Paul Copan teams up with Matthew Flannagan to tackle some of the most confusing and uncomfortable passages of Scripture. Together they help the Christian and nonbeliever alike understand the biblical, theological, philosophical, and ethical implications of Old Testament warfare passages.
Fisking Grant Robertson
November 7th, 2008 25 Comments
Supporters of Labour Candidate for Wellington Central, Grant Robertson, have published this video to provide evidence that Stephen Franks, the National Candidate for the same electorate, is “homophobic.” I remain unconvinced; in fact, I suggest that a careful analysis of the contents show that, if anything, Robertson is the bigoted ideologue. Unlike Robertson’s supporters, I […]
