Godwin's Law, and a little taster of Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, marriage, Julia Gillard and the Islamic Miranda the Devine ...


At last an American blogger who shows the way forward and how to collect their fifteen seconds of fame.

Someone who understood Hal G. P. Colebatch's Don't Be Scared of Godwin's So-Called Law and made a stand. And continues to make a stand. Sweet: I made Crooks and Liars and I get mail from the unhinged left.

Nazi metaphors? Right and just and true and proper.

Yes fifteen seconds of fame, and basking in the glory, and drawing attention to the kinder policies of Adolf Hitler. How can it get any get any better? After all, Adolf had many sound policies:

Parallel to the training of the body, a struggle against the poisoning of the soul must begin. Our whole public life today is like a hothouse for sexual ideas and stimulations. Just look at the bill of fare served up in our movies, vaudeville and theaters, and you will hardly be able to deny that this is not the right kind of food, particularly for the youth. In shop windows and billboards the vilest means are used to attract the attention of the crowd. Anyone who has not lost the ability to think himself into their soul must realize that this must cause great damage in the youth.

Yes, he worried about the children. And naturally he worried about the clash of civilisations:

While both denominations maintain missions in Asia and Africa in order to win new followers for their doctrine-an activity which can boast but very modest success compared to the advance of the Mohammedan faith in particular right here in Europe they lose millions and millions of inward adherents who either are alien to all religious life or simply go their own ways. The consequences, particularly from the moral point of view, are not favorable.

Frankly not enough conservatives read Mein Kampf these days, and so fail to understand their deep affinity with some of Adolf's more advanced thinking. Sure he was a vegetarian, but that only shows his sensitive side, not an inclination to be green. His attitude to homosexuality was most advanced (here) and still resonates today, as shown by the brave and bold and forward thinking of the head of the Catholic church on Belgium:

Archbishop Andre-Joseph Leonard has been accused of homophobia and his spokesman abruptly resigned after the church leader described gay love as a travesty of nature and AIDS as ''a sort of intrinsic justice''. (My remarks on gays twisted says cleric).

Sadly, under pressure, the Archbishop has tried to clarify his remarks, and in the process lost the clarity of his original stand:

He reiterated his belief that it ''could possibly be considered'' as ''a sort of intrinsic justice'', but he stressed that he meant to say the emergence of AIDS was a consequence of ''risky sexual behaviour''.

On homosexuality, Archbishop Leonard vehemently denied that he had implied that gays were ''abnormal'' but insisted that ''there is in the homosexual tendency and practice an orientation that is not coherent with the objective logic of sexuality''.


Precisely. There's nothing like objective logic when it comes to transubstantiation and cannibalism.

And being a good Catholic, naturally Archbishop Andre-Joseph Leonard found it in his heart not to seek a sort of vengeance against elderly priests accused of abusing children. After all, to forgive is divine, and the relentless desire to punish the elderly is most retrograde ...

Meanwhile, it turns out that Miranda the Devine has gone Islamic. What's that, you say, surely not?

Well she spends an unnerving amount of time in Muslim law is not on PM's agenda, clucking and tutting about Tim Mathieson, Julia Gillard's squeeze, and asking serious questions:

Why, when visiting conservative Islamic countries such as Malaysia and Indonesia, did she decide to bring her de facto partner and flaunt a non-marital domestic situation that is in strict contravention of the mores and laws of her host societies.

Exactly. And why on earth didn't she wear a burqa? Talk about lack of cultural sensitivity. Why she's acting like a bloody Bali backpacker:

This isn't a backpacking tour where you say, "To hell with local customs. I'm a proud Aussie and I'll do what I want."

We're not talking about asking her to kneel towards Mecca and say prayers five times a day. We're not talking hypocrisy here. We're just talking about a simple nod towards local extreme conservative dress sense by hiding her face.

And couldn't she just leave her wretched hairdresser squeeze at home instead of indicating some kind of affection for him?

Perhaps put him in a dog's home for the duration of the trip where he'd get plenty of food, water, and lots of patting.

After all, these wonderful Islamic leaders are extremely pious and conservative, and when in Rome, we should totally endorse Roman values.

... SBY, as he is known, is "quite pious," says the diplomatic source. "He is a great bloke but very conservative. No world leader is as important as he is to Australia The Indonesians would find it strange to have him sit down with a woman in that position [a defacto relationship]. It's not something they would tolerate in their own families."

Indeed. And so much for the United States. Remind me again why we're in Afghanistan helping out the whims of a Kenyan Muslim?

Come to think of it, Gillard's outrageous way isn't the sort of thing we should tolerate in Australia:

In Australia everyone has been very sanguine about the fact Gillard and Mathieson are shacked up together in the Lodge. When sexologist and author Bettina Arndt raised some mild disapproval of Gillard's "living in sin" status before the election, she was howled down by a fierce mob, who completely missed the point.

Yes, yes, what precisely is the point? Shacked up and living in shocking sin.

It is not that Gillard is not entitled to live with her partner without being married.

Yes, she's entitled, but that's just because she has some liberal sense of entitlement. Damn you, self-satisfied liberals, how about a little hypocrisy?

In fact you have to admire her for not trivialising the institution of marriage by tying the knot to win votes.

Most Australians take the view that it's none of our business what she does privately, and her story, as she recounted it to Bryce Corbett in the Women's Weekly, of never having met the right man early enough to start a family resonates with many women.


Uh huh, well that's the apologetics and the faux liberalism out of the way. Let's get down to the heart of the matter:

The problem is that she is no longer an individual politician. She represents the nation. She is our standard bearer. At home, she is a role model for younger women, but you would hope her domestic situation is not widely copied since (inherently less stable) defacto arrangements do no favours for women or their children.

Yes! She's living in sin and will surely burn in hell, and serve her and her amoral partner right, and fancy that, I know no one was ever going to attack her domestic arrangements or highlight them or make political hay out of them, but someone has to make a stand:

Internationally, in countries less broadminded than our own, her living arrangements are peculiar, and regarded by a good part of the population as immoral.

Peculiar! And an insult to pious Christians and Muslims everywhere. Immoral. The cheap hussy, flaunting herself and her squeeze ...

Unlike Tim Mathieson's dress sense, this is not a trivial consideration in diplomatic relations.


Yes, within a year we could be at war with Indonesia, or perhaps Malaysia and all because she travelled with her squeeze.

After all, this sort of thing is thankfully very uncommon. According to the ABS, a mere 1.2 million folk in Australia were living in sin in 2006, and de facto partners represented 15% of all people living as socially married, as convincing an explanation of why western civilisation is collapsing around our ears as we speak. (more shocking, startling statistics here).

There's only one solution for Gillard before she dares head overseas next time. She needs to get married, and no need for a shotgun.

But of course if she goes to an Islamic country, she'll still face a serious problem. After all, they understand that atheists are destined to burn in hellfire, or at least miss out on the virgins in heaven. An Islamic wedding is the only solution, followed by a nice Catholic do, and perhaps a Protestant one, and perhaps something in the Hindu style wouldn't go amiss either ...

So there you have it. Miranda the Devine crusading for marriage and conversion to a religion. And as we all know Islam is the one true religion for pious conservatives with a prejudice about living in sin hussies. Way up there with the thoughts of minor saints peddling the ideas of that human prophet Jesus, and in key with the thinking of that eunuch James:

I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.
But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn
.

Yes, it's terrific that Miranda the Devine is now fiercely thinking in a kindly way about the indignities that Julia Gillard might inflict on kindly, conservative, pious south eastern Asian men, and so has reached a splendid Islamification solution.

But why stop there? After all, any woman in some kind of position in power is an outrage to some Muslims. Let a woman try driving a car in Saudi Arabia and see how far she gets.

The solution? Why surely it's for Australia to adopt sensible Islamic solutions to all kinds of new fangled absurd feminist notions about power for women. Let them ride in the back seat, and be damned if they'll be given the keys to the car, just so they can drive the bus - car, it's all the same, the 18 wheeler - into the ditch.

Naturally, Adolf had a strong position on marriage:

The first prerequisite for even the moral right to combat these things is the facilitation of earlier marriage for the coming generation. In late marriage alone lies the compulsion to retain an institution which, twist and turn as you like, is and remains a disgrace to humanity, an institution which is damned ill-suited to a being who with his usual modesty likes to regard himself as the 'image' of God.

That institution? Why prostitution of course and we look forward to a subsequent column by the Devine explaining how Gillard's atheistic refusal to join the marriage bed is leading to despair, and an increase in men resorting to prostitutes ...

Now remember, at the start, we sought Hal Colebatch's get out of jail card - don't you worry about Godwin's Law when invoking the Nazis - but really the Devine is a constant inspiration on how to conduct a political discussion and an argument.

Her thought on the Greens? Lunatics. (here).

You see. That's how to shape a sensible, non-confrontational debate on conflicting values.

Now back to my daily inspirational reading of Mein Kampf.

Damn you liberals, damn you and your second world war ... Ruining everything for everybody ...

(Below: couples living together prior to marriage in 2008 in Australia, here. Damn you liberals, damn you and your sick sinister lifestyle choices. Look at that wretched hockeystick. I blame Gillard, and if not her, then surely the lunatic greens).
