So the sheep have re-elected a lying, duplicitous, brown-nosing piece of scum to our leadership.
I wonder, do we have a voting majority that actually enjoys being lied to or something? Howard has got increasingly more arrogant with every term, and now we will pay for it. Lies spill from his mouth like water from a full-on tap. He thinks he knows more than our best military and intelligence personnel. Bush says jump, Johnny says 'how high'. His economic management is far overrated, and he has benefited from a lot of Keating's reforms.
I am not embarrassed to say I preferenced Liberals ahead of Labor at the last election, because Beazley was a spineless weed with no policies and no direction, but I think it is fair to say now that I was wrong and Howard's third term was a black time for our nation. A time when we locked up innocent women and children in concentration camps. When we brutally invaded a sovereign country for purely political purposes and still tried to lie about our motives even when they were exposed as fallacy. A time when we failed to stand up against the true international criminals like the government of Israel and pathetically followed Bush's conga line like a little dog on a leash. A time when we contributed to the collapse of the United Nations as an international forum for political equality. A time when we thumbed our noise at the environment and chose the pollutions of our industry over the pressing reforms of the Kyoto Treaty. A time when we brutally bent our students over in order to further commercialise our universities and restrict access to the privileged who can afford such a heavy debt burden. A time when the rights of homosexuals were further undermined by a Prime Minister who can't seem to get into his head the separation of church and state that underpins our society. A time when we further alienated ourselves from our closest neighbours and most important regional partners with our childish and narrow-minded actions.
Howard achieved that in only 3 years...what for the next 3 years? Maybe World War III? The Apocalypse.
To those who voted for Howard: shame on you.
