Herein I calmly respond to a right-wing blogger's death threats

Posted by Derek Sapphire on Friday, June 24, 2011,
In response to what were perfectly reasonable observations from myself and fellow traveller Jill Singer about the planet-killing behaviour of eeevil climate change denialists, the appalling Iain Hall has responded with something truly vile. In that offensively arrogant and sanctimonious manner that all conservatives seem to have, he has argued that we on the green left should "name our poison" and either neuter or kill ourselves to "make a real difference to the environment".

Needless to say ...

Thoughts on Carnita Matthews, burqas and balaclavas

Posted by Derek Sapphire on Thursday, June 23, 2011,
Now that justice has actually been served in the Carnita Matthews case, the right-wing racists and xenophobes are using the decision as justification to launch a new hate campaign! They have renewed their demands to have the burqa banned. Really, the gall of these Islamophobes is almost beyond belief.

Often, they cite the argument that it is oppressive to women. Excuse me! These are the same people who openly tell (and laugh at) blonde jokes! Can you believe the hypocrisy, fellow travellers? T...

Jill Singer's final solution to the denialist problem

Posted by Derek Sapphire on Wednesday, June 22, 2011,
Fellow travellers, as you well know I write this blog out of love. I selflessly offer my deep wisdom for the good of all humankind. And while knowing that I am making the world a better place is deeply fulfilling, there is a downside. Being so far ahead of my time and so spiritually advanced, I do suffer feelings of isolation from time to time. It's lonely at the top, as they say.

That's why it's nice to know that there are others who share my deep compassion, and visions for a kinder, gentle...

Leave Anna-Maria Arabia alone, Andrew Bolt!

Posted by Derek Sapphire on Monday, June 20, 2011,
Why am I not surprised that the appalling Andrew Bolt is still beating his denialist drum against respected scientists fighting valiantly to save the planet from catastrophic climate change? Now he's attacking sassy sister Anna-Maria Arabia. And he's doing so with even more vitriol than usual. Perhaps it's got something to do with his obvious Islamophobia. Her surname just too much to bear is it Andrew, hmm? Hmm?

While there's probably some submerged racism in his latest bit of hate speech, i...

Dalai Lama's visit to Perth, Fremantle provokes right-wing sneering

Posted by Derek Sapphire on Saturday, June 18, 2011,
His Holiness the Dalai Lama is now here in Fremantle, and will speak in Perth tomorrow. While his visit to Australia (and previously, the USA) has been met with much love, joy and celebration from the more compassionate among us, hard-hearted right-wingers and conservatives continue to find fault with him.

For example, they really pounced on his admission that he is a Marxist. They despise that compassionate ideology anyway, and also seem to think that being proudly left-wing is someh...

Professor Bob Carter is a climate change denialist

Posted by Derek Sapphire on Monday, June 6, 2011,
Sassy sister Cate Blanchett recently, and quite movingly, said of her activism on the issue of climate change: ''I can't look my children in the face if I'm not trying to do something in my small way and to urge other people."

I applaud such courage and conviction. But for me, the sense of urgency is even more immediate. If I were not waging a (peaceful) war against the denialists and alerting the world to their appalling lies then I wouldn't be a able to look Gaia Herself in the face (and I ...

The Bushby-Wong meow-row and the barbaric sexism of the Liberal Party

Posted by Derek Sapphire on Thursday, June 2, 2011,
Fellow travellers, I'm sure you have all heard of this latest appalling act by the Opposition, in which the vile David Bushby meowed at sassy sister Penny Wong. Of course the right-wing knuckle draggers in the Liberal Party have argued that it was a comparatively minor insult, and that Labor politicians are capable of vile attacks as well. Their media apologists cite Mark Latham's use of the insult "skanky ho" against Janet Albrechtsen, and Julia Gillard's description of Christopher Pyne as a...
