"Brown Town" song parody proves right-wingers have no sense of humour

Posted by Derek Sapphire on Friday, July 1, 2011,
Well, fellow travellers, it's not surprising that planet hating reactionaries who lurk in the right-wing reaches of the blogosphere are all howling with laughter at this parody of Petula Clark's "Downtown". It just says sooo much about these nasty Gaia-phobes and what goes on inside their tiny minds.

Well, apart from being a complete misrepresentation of what Bob Brown and the Greens stand for it's also not at all funny.

And I am an expert in these matters, you know! Not only have I written an...

The boxer Tony Abbott and his fighting words

Posted by Derek Sapphire on Saturday, April 2, 2011,
Fellow travellers, we all know that white male Christian conservatives are seething with inner violence, determined to inflict as much damage upon women, minorities and non-human persons (animals) as possible. The perfect example is that Neanderthal budgie-smuggling pugilist Tony Abbott.

The man is clearly a concentrated ball of hatred and anger. It's obvious every time he appears on the television. There's the always confrontational body language, the patriarchal walk. And his language is jus...

Gillard's attack on the Greens leaves us hurt and bewildered in Fremantle

Posted by Derek Sapphire on Friday, April 1, 2011,
Fellow travellers, I'm really starting to wonder what is going on in our PM's mind at the moment. Her behaviour does seem to be very odd. I mean, she's just attacked her official partners in government with some astonishingly extreme and false claims. She's clearly trying to create a real perception of difference between Labor and the Greens in the tiny minds of the great unloofahed.

Here is some of what she said:

The Greens will never embrace Labor's delight at sharing the values of everyday...

60 Minutes, multiculturalism, sharia and Australia's green movement

Posted by Derek Sapphire on Monday, March 21, 2011,
Of course appalling right-wingers will be feeling vindicated over last night's episode of 60 Minutes and their story on the "failure" of multiculturalism. But they so hate diversity they would say that, wouldn't they?

And the report by Michael Usher really was a disgrace. It was a truly appalling beatup of a non-problem. Thankfully, the team redeemed themselves with their unflinching portrayal of the terrifyingly cataclysmic risks posed by the damaged Japanese nuclear reactors. Surely journali...

No Andrew Landeryou, the Greens are economically responsible!

Posted by Derek Sapphire on Sunday, March 6, 2011,
Fellow travellers, one thing that we on the green left have to constantly put up with is this vile accusation that we don't care about the economy. Nothing could be further from the truth!

In the latest example of this the appalling Andrew Landeryou verbals the visionary Greens Leader in a pathetic attempt to confirm this accusation. Citing a recent interview on the 7:30 Report he takes just one small quote of Bob Brown's and implies that it's an admission that the Greens are economically irre...

Just shut up, Robyn Wuth!

Posted by Derek Sapphire on Friday, January 21, 2011,
Fellow travellers, as one who regularly forces himself to read right-wing blogs to learn as much as possible about the change-fearing, febrile mindset of our collective enemy, I thought I'd seen it all. But no, today I read something that was even more appalling and bizzare than even the worst rantings of Tim Blair (on whose blog I found it, BTW).

It's a truly psychotic diatribe against our Bob Brown by an attitudinally unreconstructed Queenslander called Robyn Wuth. Some of the lines are so ...

The serious side of Joseph Guiso's marriage to Honey the labrador

Posted by Derek Sapphire on Saturday, December 4, 2010,
Fellow travellers, here is a story that should give those of us who truly abhor speciesism a little more hope for a better world: A man in Toowoomba called Joseph Guiso has "married" his animal companion Honey, a labrador.

The ceremony was conducted more or less as a joke. But remember that "many a true word was spoke in jest". Also, not so long ago people were openly laughing at things that eventually came to pass - women getting the vote, and gays in the military, for example.

And the fact th...

Bob Brown demeans monkeys, gorillas with speciesist smear!

Posted by Derek Sapphire on Thursday, November 18, 2010,
Championing the rights of animals (or as I Iike to think of them, non-human people) can be a frustrating and thankless task. I mean, it can be disappointing, to say the least, when after performing three hours of political street theatre raising awareness about our threatened indigenous bird-life, a pigeon decides to defecate on your head!

Then there is the pervasive speciesism that so many Homo sapiens are guilty of. It's bad enough that it's a societal norm. But sometimes this appalling atti...
