Just a little beyon...I meant 'medium term'. Just a little beyond 'short term', but never near 'long term'. <br /><br />With reference to Roger Douglas's presentations (I think he too would admit he wasn't a good communicator). <br /><br />It was hard to ever get up the juice to hate Roger. I mean, you really hope for a hate figure to bring tumbling down your demo-cracy. But there was just nothing there. I'm not even saying he was a cypher. He was common or garden. I'm sure he is a nice guy.<br /><br />Chris, when Mike Moore and Richard in-charge- of-national-radio-now confronted you so vehemently, they were in the wrong, yet you responded like they had upset your tea set. It was they who betrayed the NZ idea, hence their vehemence. My democratic-socialist great grandfather would have given them their due first, then shouted them down, like so many of the old socialists. Mike Moore and Richard-etc are only NZers by upbringing. You know Norman Douglas better than me, what do you think he has waiting for Roger? Or his Anderton grandfather? <br /><br />So many of the modern opposers were/are 'individuals', like the pre-35ers admittedly. Which doesn't make them any the less right despite their individualities. I suppose Jim Anderton is the ultimate reality check in our search for blemishless heroes. <br /><br />We have the doubts, they have the certainties. Tho' that is the real difference between the leftists of pre-35 and us. My great grandfather, who turned all his immediate family into conservative voters, was evangelically certain for 't'cause' to his end at 85 and Walter Nash's oration over his body in Wellington townhall in 1950.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />volnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3753486518085091399.post-75440415885930969052016-12-25T22:56:57.340+13:002016-12-25T22:56:57.340+13:00Christo,
I'm the only one.
You've just ...Christo, <br /><br />I'm the only one.<br /><br />You've just seen the evangelicals vote Trump. I understand.<br /><br />You do understand you've been right and you are right.<br /><br />There it stands--pricks-- like a sand castle still.<br /><br />And why not, the ]'middle term' is the ultimate creation of H.s.s.<br /><br />Having born-again siblings, a problem of the provinces and suburbs, they are completely discredited by me and other sibs by their love of unmerited beliefs over 30 years, which lead always to Trumps.<br /><br />You are right Chris. Not the fuckwits with money.<br /><br />volnoreply@blogger.com
