There are many lively reptiles out and about today - the onion muncher has let the world know he is once more available for leadership duties - a tremendous relief for Western Civilisation - and it's Caterist day, with the reptiles realising the error of making Wednesday Caterist day - and the bromancer is anxious about North Korea, as if the Donald would lead him astray - but when it comes to the ongoing Crisis in Western Civilisation, the pond is always front and centre …
Now it's true that the regurgitating machine known as dashing Donners hasn't had an original thought in his noggin for many years, and these days gets out a thousand monkeys, so that miracle of miracles, they can come up with exactly the same thoughts he had the day before, but today there's a new twist, in that Donners decides to make it personal, a regular old ad hominem routine …
Seeing that's how the game was going to be played, and being well over dashing Donners, even as a joke, the pond decided to import someone else to have a go at Donners.
Come on down Guy Rundle, scribbling for Crikey back on 23rd February 2017, merely a blink in primordial time compared to the many columns dashing Donners has churched out over aeons …
Okay, that sets the scene for dashing Donners, and it has to be said that, while being vacant of thought and meaning in the usual way, Donners is mercifully short ...
There you go, and it should be noted that it's a favourite trick of authoritarian regimes to mount attacks on the personal opinions on others for daring to have opinion on anything, and for refusing to tug the forelock and toe the line …
But enough of the pond, let Guy Rundle finish his thoughts ...
Of course in the matter of abortion Ireland is no longer a part of Western Civilisation and instead is at the forefront in the Crisis in Western Civilisation, but the pond was beguiled by Rundle's line "The Oz publishes him because they'll publish all and any of that crap."
And just as the reptiles must plead guilty to the charge, so must the pond, because over the years, without any sense, taste or style, the pond has routinely featured any and all of Donners' remarkable regurgitations of crap …
So here's the final gobbet of the usual Donners crap … doing the rest of his ad hominem assaults, because when you're out of fresh crap, why not just keep recycling the same old crap in a personalised way...
Lacking in reason?
And that, the pond notes, is from a loon that works at an institution, which is an offshoot of an institution, that preaches that on a Sunday, the faithful can indulge in human flesh and human blood, and in due course in the bye and bye, there'll be pie in the sky … and so endlessly on and so stupidly forth ...
Lacking in reason? What a first class futtock of futility he is …why doesn't he just eat a human wafer and drink a little human blood, and take a vow of silence, lest he trip up and end in an eternity of superstitious hellfire?
And now, with the great news of the return of the Rowe, with more rowing to be done here, it's time to celebrate another great example of Western Civilisation at work, with a dash of Catholic attitudes to women still lurking there in the mix ...
And thankfully, that's all the pond needs to say about that bit of attention-seeking …
Faaarrrrrrrk, STILL with the Battle For Western Civilisation ?! When will it ever end? The answer , of course, is "never". The reptiles remind me of one of those more extreme enthusiasts for the American Civil War who delight in endlessly re-enacting various battles; it all may have ended long long ago, but they're at their happiest when they're going through the motions of repeating some bloody campaign. I once read that the majority of those Civil War role players prefer to be the South, and that seems to fit with the reptiles as well; endlessly flailing away in support of a lost - and rather dubious - cause.

DeleteBrilliant imagining there nony.
Imagine the poor subby who gets a Donners or a Dog Botherer piece drop into the in-box each week, or even twice a week. Up to the Editor's office, "Sorry to bother sir, but these views really has been run several times already, should we be running it again?"
"Shut up and edit you jobsworth!"
GRundle: "Personally, as a pluralist, I believe that Catholics should be free to advocate whatever beliefs they like, no matter how unpopular, and to build institutions to do so."
ReplyDeleteOk, Guy, l know you're not particularly devout, but let me introduce you to Chronicles 15:12:14
12 And they entered into a covenant to seek the Lord God of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul;
13 That whosoever would not seek the Lord God of Israel should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.
14 And they swore unto the Lord with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets.
Ok, so we know that the Catholic Church routinely defies and disobeys the commandments and injunctions of God, and maybe this is just another case where it will continue to do so. But that doesn't mean all Catholics will, does it. So you'd be absolutely ok with a bunch of catholics deciding to set up institutions to advocate the belief that "whosoever would not seek the Lord God of Israel should be put to death" ?
As to those "narrowly interpreted "shared values"", how about this one: Thou shalt not kill. Now that's a shared value that I personally am prepared to enforce everywhere with everyone. How about you ?
This is not to say in any way that I think 'Broady Boy' Donners isn't a prime git and all round futtock, just to say that I think Rundle is too, sometimes.
