A vote for more foreign war

Published: October 20, 2008

This letter was in the Timaru Herald on Friday:

The effrontery! How dare those Greens try to keep us out of other people’s foreign wars. I hear they also radically oppose death, famine and pestilence.

   Those NZFers are a gas.

   From Winston Peters in the weekend too:

   Winston Peters reckoned the Greens were “fruit loops” keen on “adoption for gay couples, legalised marijuana, compulsory mediation, [with] everybody consigned to bikes instead of cars”,

   I think he is partly right… why the emphasis on civil liberties (the 12 points) when crime is an issue?

   those comments may explain NZF’s angle on immigration. To me it is a “developments up and down the country” issue, green belt and (need for) ugly infill. I think the Greens have been off target (my target anyway).

   Didn’t New Zealand First also oppose the invasion of Iraq?

   “keep us out of any foriegn war” : he is probably thinking of Ahganistan.

   NZ First supporters are the real ‘fruit loops’ supporting a man who has lied numerous times to the voters and his fellow parliamentarians.

   I would love to see a government of National, Act & the Greens. We might see some action then. Act & the Greens both support waste minimization in their own ways.

   That’s what you claim, but as David Farrar revealed in his exposé, the Greens will take us back to year zero, with a compulsory zero child policy, camps and a great leap backwards.

   “Winston Peters reckoned the Greens were “fruit loops” keen on “adoption for gay couples, legalised marijuana, compulsory mediation, [with] everybody consigned to bikes instead of cars”,

   The Green policies are (look them up); everybody consigned to adoption instead of cars, compulsory marijuana, legalised mediation, and bikes for gay couples.

   “Didn’t New Zealand First also oppose the invasion of Iraq?”

   The ONLY thing Winston has got right in the last ten years.

   ‘The Green policies are (look them up); everybody consigned to adoption instead of cars, compulsory marijuana, legalised mediation, and bikes for gay couples.”

   That is pretty freakin funny.

   “gay couples are only to ride tandem bikes. Complete with compulsory marijuana.”

   That too, but less points for hanging on to george’s coattails

    Wasn’t after points. Was just having fun. Now I have a mental image of gay couples wearing tails (of the tuxedo variety) getting about on tandem bikes. I really must get back to work.
