Smear, ridicule, misrepresentation, subversion, falsification, lies - anything but reasoned argument

It is an irony that The Age newspaper reported 25 August that a gang of hackers had stolen passwords from a Christian dating site, and then went about hacking into Facebook accounts because the people were using the same password. As one would expect, the hackers defaced the Facebook accounts by posting all manner of nasty, malicious, obscene messages. I say an irony because the philosophical presuppositions of the PC Age are the same that in the minds of the hackers give them licence to do whatever they want to people who do not conform to their materialist outlook. Special treatment is reserved for Christians. We know for this mentality that too harsh could never be enough in dealing with Christians.

Around the same time as this report, I personally experienced interference on Facebook by anti-Christian bigots. A person who calls himself a militant atheist on his Facebook page, sent me a "friend request". Naturally he thought I fitted the bigoted image he has in his mind of a Christian and would not check who the request was coming from. Had I responded he would have been in the position to cause all sorts of obscene and abusive havoc on my pages.

It is instructive to read the Age report. I recommend a dispassionate reading of it, following the links to get an insight into the utter putrefaction of these people's minds. For me it confirms all that I claim about the PC class mentality. Let me be clear. I am not saying that all people with a PC mentality would resort to such disgusting unconscionable methods. But what they would be prepared to do, would be of the same kind. A good analogy is that although most Muslims would never resort to terrorist acts, many nevertheless understand the motivations and share the same contempt for all things western and express that contempt in less dramatic ways. Recently the world was treated to the vision of swarming crowds around the plane that brought the convicted Lockerbie bomber back to Libya. Is this analogy valid?

It is a point that hardly needs demonstrating. Who needs to be reminded of the ridicule of such people as Max Gillies, comedian of the PC class? Phillip Adams, with the financial support of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, a taxpayer funded organisation, has made a living out of ridiculing and slandering those who do not comply with the dogma of the PC class. He has a sick fetish about Christians and Christianity that he can only express in ridicule and abuse.

Take the Australian Republican Movement. As I have pointed out before, their main argument is that Australia should grow up and throw off the British yoke. Really, you have to be lost in the PC fog to swallow that argument. Prof David Flint recently quoted well-known PC journalist Peter FitzSimons (Fairfax Group, of course) when yet again he sneered mockingly about constitutional monarchists referring to them as the “usual suspects...curmudgeonly royal grovellors (Hullo Professor Flint)”. FitzSimons' wife, Lisa Wilkinson, is one of the anchors on the Nine Network Today show. It would be a great pity if people judged sympathetic sober-minded Wilkinson on the basis of what her husband says.

Let me finish with one telling example, again provided by The Age. Peter Costello, Treasurer to Prime Minister John Howard and whose contribution was critical to the success and longevity of the Howard government said the following in an article he wrote for The Age:

One time I walked into ABC headquarters in Sydney and was confronted by an employee who began hissing at me. The station manager, who was there at the time, was so shocked he organised a written apology from management.

He told me the employee would be ''counselled''. I wasn't shocked, I knew I was on foreign soil. I never worried about what occurred off-air. I was always worried about what would be broadcast.

This is the mentality. This joker who works for an organisation that fancies itself the model of penetrating rationalist opinion could not help himself. He just had to behave like a primary school kid. You have laugh at the idea of counselling for this type. He probably screamed his head off at the idea himself. Imagine being counselled by someone who agreed with you.
