I don't wear MAGA gear because I like to avoid confrontation. Maybe I should rethink this. My voice is just as valid. Still, I would hate to hurt somebody over my hat or a shirt.
I wear my MAGA cap at bridge.
The comments I get are surprising. From mainly retired calm mature bridge players
I'm sure I would get a lot of good comments as well. I would have no problem wearing a MAGA shirt to a gun show or even a church function. Maybe I should just exercise my first amendment like I exercise my second amendment and let the chips fall where they may.
Yes, I got few good comments

This is quite typical of the lefts using emotional levers and refusing any other comments aside from their ones

............ In an email distributed to News Corp Australia staff and addressed to Mr Miller, commercial finance manager Emily Townsend said she had been filled with anxiety and disappointment over the coverage, which had impacted her ability to work.


Ms Townsend, who has worked for News Corp Australia for five years, thanked Mr Miller for the email about fundraising initiatives in relation to the fires, but said the efforts did not offset the company's coverage of the bushfires.

"I have been severely impacted by the coverage of News Corp publications in relation to the fires, in particular the misinformation campaign that has tried to divert attention away from the real issue which is climate change to rather focus on arson (including misrepresenting facts)," she said.

"I find it unconscionable to continue working for this company, knowing I am contributing to the spread of climate change denial and lies. The reporting I have witnessed in The Australian, The Daily Telegraph and Herald Sun is not only irresponsible, but dangerous and damaging to our communities and beautiful planet that needs us more than ever to acknowledge the destruction we have caused and start doing something about it." ............

look at all this self victim affirmations
.............. anxiety and disappointment .............. impacted her ability to work .....
been severely impacted by ........... rather focus on arson ............... is not only irresponsible, but dangerous and damaging to .................

Facts are :
1/ Arsonists lit many of the fires.

2/ The buildup of fuel made the fires extreme.

How many of those disgusting despicable arsonist scum were in fact LUNATIC EXTREMIST GREENIES ????

The Greenies won't recover from the white hot HATE and DISGUST felt by the voters towards these despicable traitorous scum. See how few votes they get next time.

It is a problem for Labor as Labor relies on the Lunatic Extremist Greenies to fill the SENATE to get them over the line.

How can Labor risk associating themselves with such filthy diabolical scum as the repulsive Lunatic Extremist Greenies ?

Deregister the Lunatic Extremist Greenies NOW!!!

This should be a STRONG RECOMMENDATION of the upcoming RC into the bush fires CAUSED by the stinking Greenies who banned the clearing of undergrowth and burnt Australia TO THE GROUND!!!!

Silly old hard core Greeniy BRossy is so boringly predictable - what an empty headed indoctrinated twit. The silly coot can't see how ScoMo has turned the bush fires into a massive votes winner for him.

The disgusting Greenies suffered mortal wounds from the bush fires they caused.



Fringe-dwelling Greens revel in a nation’s agony
JENNIFER ORIEL 12:00AM NOVEMBER 18, 2019

Doc Dick the fire bug burning Australia to the ground

At no time since the May election has the reason for the Coalition’s victory been clearer.

During the past week, Australians punished by drought were devastated by bushfires. As the bush burned, people died, animals fled and desperate farmers tried to save their weakened stock, the Greens hurled abuse from the lunatic fringe. Labor was busy licking its wounds after a review attributed the party’s election defeat to a democratic deficit and surfeit of bad policy. Meanwhile, the Lib­erals set about finding the immediate cause of the bushfires, visiting devastated regions and organising critical support for fire-ravaged communities.

As the fires raged and tempers flared, the Prime Minister admonished politicians for abandoning civility in a time of crisis. The Greens led the mob of radical incivility by charging people who dissent from the party’s preferred climate policy with arson. Greens senator Jordon Steele-John said the government was “no better than a bunch of arsonists”. Greens leader Richard Di Natale had set the tone for his team last Monday when he accused opponents of a new political crime we might call collective arson in absentia. He said: “Every politician, lobbyist, pundit and journalist who has fought to block serious action on climate change bears responsibility for the increasing risk from a heating planet that is producing these deadly bushfires.”

For civil society’s sake, unpack the un­tested hypothesis: journalists who disagree with Di Natale’s idea of “serious action on climate change” bear responsibility for deadly bushfires because they are increasing the risk from a heating planet that is producing fires. Only a party lost in a whirling dervish of circular logic could believe such nonsense.

The disaster-chasing Greens are to this century what ambulance-chasing lawyers were to the last. They are misery merchants who profit from tragedy and ­exploit people at their most vulnerable. The lower they descend into the politics of misery, the more people will flock to the major parties. Labor received the message loud and clear after the May election when its uncosted climate plan shed crucial votes. The ALP’s green idealism threatened the natural resource market, reliable energy supply and key ­exports while leaving the biggest carbon emitter in the world, China, relatively unscathed. Voters rejected Labor’s plan, including a 45 per cent greenhouse emissions target, after economist Brian Fisher estimated it could deliver a $53bn hit to GDP.

Labor’s official review of the 2019 election campaign con­cluded that the party lost because of a “cluttered” policy agenda, ­an unpopular leader and a poor sales pitch. It lost touch with the people because the party leadership is drawn from the ranks of career politicians. The most basic issue with the Labor campaign was substance, not style. The policy agenda might have been cluttered but the main problem was its basis in idealism rather than realism.

Many analysts warned Labor it should ditch political correctness, green idealism and a big-spending, big-taxing agenda. I argued its continuing refusal to make a case for key policies with due regard for the national interest would cost it dearly. Labor leader ­Anthony Albanese has decided the party cannot afford another round of blame-shifting and must address its failures head on. He is right. The Opposition Leader ­announced a new policy agenda based on five core themes: infrastructure, jobs, fairness, climate change and the national interest. It certainly sounds like a winning agenda for an election campaign. We know that with a fair degree of certainty since it so closely resembles the agenda that delivered victory for the Coalition. While Labor can improve its popularity by staking a claim on the political centre, it has less control over the growing stature and influence of the Prime Minister.

Scott Morrison is often underestimated and it has worked well for him. He took the Liberal leadership from behind as rivals Malcolm Turnbull and Peter Dutton failed to secure enough votes in the party room. He seized victory from the jaws of defeat as the underdog on election day. He was reviled by many nations at the ­Pacific Islands forum but made friends out of foes. He is walking the tightrope between the US and the emerging superpower China by insisting his number one priority is the national interest. He is redefining Australia’s identity in a new global order where nationalism is being embraced as the dream of universal liberalism fades away. And he has shed the arrogant image that made him ­appear a world apart from the people in the past.

In 2016, I watched election night on the ABC where Morrison and Penny Wong were asked about the rising popularity of minor parties. They responded in a similar manner, with views about people fearing change in a rapidly changing world and seeking certainty in non-traditional candidates. In a column on the election, I argued against the analysis: “The success of minor parties across the West owes to a growing gulf between the values of the political class and the people.” There was widespread concern about politicians “sacrificing the principles that sustain liberal democracy … government by the people and for the people, secular statehood, freedom of speech, sovereignty and secure borders”.

Three years on, global politics has changed radically. That both the PM and the Opposition ­Leader openly defend the nat­ional ­interest as the basis for Australia’s engagement in a global­ised world marks a watershed moment in federal politics. In a landmark speech to the Lowy ­Institute, the Prime Minister said: “Under my leadership Australia’s international engagement will be squarely driven by Australia’s ­national interests.”

Before the advent of globalism, such a statement would have been uncontroversial. It has taken the threat of Islamist terrorism and communist China to make the ­national interest a critical priority for people who want to defend the free world and preserve the open societies of the West for ­future generations.

The Morrison government’s place in history is being defined by patriotism, realism and plans to make Australia debt-free. The opposition is a long way from home but Albanese knows Labor’s promised land is closer to the political centre than the green-left fringe.

And what the man in the street thinks

Darren 1 MONTH AGO
The greens only exist because of labor preferences in the Senate. Think about that.

Labor prefer crazies like the greens, crazies that hate Australia and Australians then they do the coalition. They see the Greens in more of alignment then the coalition.

So you can thank the Labor party for the Greens and it makes you wonder what the Labor are really like. Hardly the sane actions of a center left party. You can’t trust Labor.

Geoff 1 MONTH AGO
The Greens are using climate change as part of a wider campaign against free market capitalism - this is their underlying agenda and the sooner people realise this the better.  Their solution is for a planned economy using (as described by journalist Paul Mason) the mechanisms of state spending, state lending and state direction of private finance. They are more concerned with destroying market economies than saving the planet.

andrew 1 MONTH AGO
Not that it matters but what has happened to Di Natale since the election. Hardly been seen. Seems like Bandt is the new leader..

ArtG

The Greens accuse us all of being 'Arsonists'.
Well, if you don't allow for fuel reduction in our National Parks, and you fine people thousands of $'s for collecting firewood, that if left in place would contribute to the burn, then the only arsonists are the people who restrict the reduction practices, i.e. the Greens. This restriction contributes to the size, intensity and spread of the bushfires that we experience.
So who's the actual arsonist here?

Paul 1 MONTH AGO
Di Natale and his fellow travellers have lost the plot. Their world view is hopelessly wrong and having now shown their true colours, hopefully that also means that the Greens' vote will decline from here and Australian politics will correct towards the centre right where it belongs.   

DialecticOfEnlightenment 1 MONTH AGO
The Greens vote will only rise so long as our elected governments do nothing.

Despite the weight of scientific research.

Despite the will of the majority of ordinary Australian, who see the link between the science and the lived reality.


PTP 1 MONTH AGO
Greenies make bushfires worse,
      and then blame climate change.

And Aussie voters realise it.

A thousand bureaucratic tricks make it harder and harder to reduce bushfire risk.
- people can't take out trees
- councils plant fire-prone natives and force developers to plant them also
- parks are being turned into bush, removing play area for kids
- fire trails are blocked and removed
- water refilling dams are removed
- bureaucratic rules make winter hazard reduction burns difficult
- 'sensitive' areas are no-go for hazard reduction burns
- almost everywhere is being declared 'sensitive'
- approval for winter hazard reduction burns is fraught, long, complex
- the window for hazard reduction burns is being made smaller.

Many of these are pushed on us by well-meaning senior citizens and imposed by local councils. A council near me has a goal to plant an extra 20,000 native trees by 2020.

The net effect is to turn what were safe areas into dangerous disasters waiting to happen. Help our firies do their job, protect people, not trees.

Monster fires: another gift from the greens
Viv Forbes 22 January 2019 4:37 PM

Whoosh! Up she goes! A poisonous gift from the disgusting Greenies


Carbon dioxide must be an almighty gas – it gets blamed for almost every human disaster.

Now we have the alarmist Climate Council blaming bushfires on carbon dioxide and global warming. Focussing on the wrong problem is doing more harm than good. It is disappointing to see respected firefighters like Greg Mullins now blaming “climate change” for more and worse bushfires, and now even promoting the misguided Climate Council.

We have heat waves, dry spells and bushfires in Australia every year – bushfires were burning all up the coast when Captain Cook sailed by in 1770. But today we know what causes dangerous fires. It needs deliberate political mismanagement to create disastrous wild-fires which destroy everything – houses, sheds, fences, wildlife and mature trees.

A good wet season can result in nature building up a dangerously large fuel load. In the past, this was usually removed safely by many small fires lit by lightning strikes, Aboriginals, graziers or foresters. Today massive fuels loads are too often allowed to accumulate for more than one season in forests, reserves, parks and around suburbs. Then one match or spark on a windy day can produce massive fires.

Today’s stupid green policies that discourage and prohibit burning-off, encourage the accumulation of bushfire fuel and exclude grazing animals from large areas of parks and reserves are making uncontrollable wildfires more common.

Heat does not cause catastrophic fires. Once sparked, naturally or maliciously, two things are needed to create killer blazes – high winds and excessive flammable fuel. We cannot stop the wind, but we can manage the bush so as to minimise the build-up of bushfire fuels. Not only is this effective in reducing the bushfire threat — the benefit is immediate. There is no need to wait another 25 years for the “solutions” posed by the climatists to “fix” the climate (stop raising cattle, using coal, cars or whatever).

Blaming the bushfire problem on climate change is offering a weak excuse for government authorities bowing to green extremists. They have failed to meet their obligation to reduce bushfire fuel loads and make life safer for communities and for our firefighters in the name of the Great God Gaia.

As for more and bigger water bombers, we need only to look to the 2018 Californian bushfires, where great fleets of mighty water bombers were unable to control their wildfires. Water bombers may look good on television but they cannot stop wildfires burning in heavy fuel and driven by high winds.

It's never about the climate or the poor or guns, or healthcare. when the left are involved everything is about CONTROL. They want the government to control everything and they want control of the government.

Why are climate conferences attended by people arriving in private jets?

Why do politicians have healthcare that is better than that for the public?

Why do anti gun politicians and the rich have armed security and expect us to trust the police to protect us?

Texan you speak good sense and FACTS.

All the Greenies' Climate Change SCAM rubbish is about is trying to drum up interest in the UN One World Socialist Govt in a Sustainable World as documented in AGENDA 2030.

The Greenies are getting desperate as nobody believes their Climate Change SCAM rubbish any more and so they are becoming more extreme but all they are doing is making themselves look like fools.

The bushfires the Greenies CAUSED has burnt a very big hole in them and exposed them as just filthy demonic traitors!!!!

Some do, some don't, Tex.

\

Perhaps 'cause they can afford better health care compared to the people who support them? I do hope your admonishment goes for both sides of politics and not just for the Left, Tex?
Why do anti gun politicians and the rich have armed security and expect us to trust the police to protect us?
In the US perhaps. Downunder? They trust to the police just as we do, Tex. Remember, Australia is not the US and the US is not Australia. In the US there are crazies armed with assault rifles behind every corner/bush/tree. Downunder, there aren't. :roll ;roll
