Commonsense VS Politics

The dumping of the introduction of folate into our daily bread by National just shows us how politically motivated our politicians are rather than acting on facts (well duh Darren).

The Nazi style move by Labour and its continued support to introduce folate into our bread shows us that the left still want to control us, but the fact that this wasn't rejected quickly by National is a worry.

The use of folate of any kind is a personal choice, to say otherwise is to go down a track that would ultimately have citizens eating what politicians want from State owned markets (with long lines and shortages no doubt) and we rejected that at the 2008 election.

To have National making the move based on political motivation rather than a question of personal choice or the fact that there are questions about synthetic folate and the danger of it, is just more of the same crap that we put up with over the last 9 years of the heavy handed socialist/nazi style regime that Labour presided over.

This political rather than fact based governance is really just a lie, all it does is keep the ignorant and stupid happy and keeps the incumbent Government's poll ratings up.

The same can be said of the global warming nonsense that National are continuing with.

It is a a clear myth acknowledged by most yet the bullshit rolls on simply because it buys votes from the rabid left vocal sector of our country, never mind that the facts are that the whole GW frenzy is a lie.

This way of governing is the rule of the vocal moronity and it is a sign of weakness from the Government.

For god sake, have your own ideas, act on commonsense and fact and forget about the politics.

If John Key doesn't stand firm on something for the right reasons, his Government is going to fall due to the line adhered to and moved by the dropkicks and looney lefties in Government departments and interest groups that he is currently listening to.

Lets see the commonsense that we were promised before the election.

Folic Acid in Bread a bad rap for National Government

If its not Cadbury taking stuff out of my food, its Government morons putting stuff in my food that annoys me. I loathe my food and my health being buggered with.

The Nazi style way the food additive, folic acid was introduced by the previous Labour Government by the former Food Safety Minister Annette King was no surprise because Mein Kampf seemed to be some sort of text book that that Government loosely followed in terms of execution of Labour Party policy but for the present National Government to do nothing to stop the introduction in September of this possible dangerous additive being added to our daily bread is nothing short of hypocritical.

Hypocritical because this mass medication of our food supply was part of the Labour Nanny State that we all got thoroughly sick of that encompassed how long we showered, what we ate, drank, smoked, said, who to like and even debates over the definition of rape in normal relationships, a whole host of other socialist/Nazi style interference and who knows what else had we had the misfortune of another Labour regime.

Do National remember why they were elected?

We wanted this bloody Nanny State crap to come to an end!

National's Kate Wilkinson, Minister of Food Safety, in the face of evidence that folic acid in bread could be a cancer danger, says that she doesn't want the additive but she can do little about it because of a food standards agreement with Australia that we just cant break.

Even if you agreed that folic acid should be added to all our bread so we had no personal freedom to eat this crap, a  pregnant woman would have to eat 11 slices of this bread to ameliorate any folate deficiency in her diet and lessen the possibility that her baby would get spina bifida.

5 kids get this disease every year, not a good reason to put the rest of the population in danger by using a staple food to do so. Best a prospective mother takes a folate supplement if worried, better for her and the rest of us and we will have the freedom of choice to eat what we want.

The additive will add to the cost of bread to consumers and waste millions of plastic bags that have to be re-printed with this muck added to the ingredients list.

Grow some balls Kate and stop the folate, you are in Government now and yes you can do it.

Piece by piece, Nanny State is being dismantled

The removal by National of the Labour Party requirement for schools to be the food police is poetry to the ears and sending exactly the right message to pupils, teachers and parents.

Hopefully it is just the beginning of the end for the nanny state Labour so carefully engineered for us over the last 9 years.

It is the right and responsibility of the parents to give their children the right food, not lefty pollies, some of whom are too fat to move, let alone rub two braincells together in order to figure out that they are not surrogate parents to every man woman and child in our country.

This is the kind of warped thinking that the left specialise in: piece

Ms Kedgley said that arguing the children would still buy the products elsewhere was "a nonsense".

"Teenagers can buy cigarettes at the local dairy, but that doesn't mean we should allow them to sell them at school. NZ Herald.co.nz

Bugger off, crawl into a sow crate and look after your own family, mine is fine.

Dont vote Labour because: Shower head restrictions

A series of advertising messages urging you not to vote Labour this Saturday 8 November.

Labour will restrict the water flow in your shower should we be unlucky enough to have them back again in November.

Baths will be next on the list and a whole series of other related household interference looks set to follow.

They have already banned regular lightbulbs and open fireplaces that use renewable wood, dont let your flow be resticted to a trickle.

Vote against nanny statism, dont vote Labour this November 8.

Government survey extends nanny State further

Are Helen Clark and her Labour Government "Mugabe like", as the Maori Party contends she is?

You decide:

Statistics NZ has been labelled threatening and heavy-handed by one respondent, who was sent a highlighted copy of the Statistics Act penalties schedule when he complained and tried to quit.

In 2002, 22,000 people were randomly selected to take part in the Statistics NZ Survey of Family, Income and Employment.

Wairarapa graphic artist Alistair Hughes has taken part for six years, but he and his wife asked to be excused last year as they thought the survey had become an offensive invasion of privacy. They were asked detailed questions relating to their income and expenditure, personal health and what surgery they might have had.

Statistics NZ wrote back telling Mr Hughes he was legally obliged to complete the survey, "though it is important we gain the cooperation of all those selected to take part", the letter said.

The highlighted penalty schedule was attached.

Standard of living manager Andrea Blackburn said though some people were reluctant to take part in the survey, they eventually agreed and there had been no prosecutions to date.

"Most people are willing to complete surveys once their value to New Zealand is explained," she said.

The survey is the first nationally representative, long-term study done in New Zealand. It was done randomly to ensure an even spread of respondents.

Mrs Blackburn said the data provided a valuable picture of changes in Kiwis' economic wellbeing. It was used to plan a range of issues - from retirement planning and programmes that helped move people into work, to determining levels of support for families and children.

"Used to plan a range of issues"?

When did anything the Government "plan" go right

Standard of living manager Andrea Blackburn said though some people were reluctant to take part in the survey, they eventually agreed and there had been no prosecutions to date.

Stuff.co.nz

New Zealand has a "standard of living" manager?  WTF?

I wonder Andrea if a criminal prosecution and a large fine might have something to do with the zero prosecution rate.

This is the sort of nonsense we can do without, an extension of nanny State that serves no purpose and clearly hasn't been of any benefit so far as the results of the survey seem to have led to increased welfare, poorer education, increases in crime, a crumbling health system and a whole lot of other government planning stuff that simply doesn't work.

It does work well in one of its key objectives though.

It interferes in peoples lives where government is not wanted or needed.

VIDEO: FREAKY FRIDAY FUNNY-Super Nanny State

In the tradition of Monty Python, Dick Emery, Kenny Everett, Charlie Chaplin and possibly a drunk 3rd form audio video class comes this un-puritanical poke at the Pollies and poofters from the hairy arm pitted, sandal wearing, dolphin loving, cardie covered, freedom hating, loony left and the Labour Party.

It isn't quite as funny as Winston Peters and his perplexing interviews but it might just make you titter until you wet yourself.

You can thank me latter.

Christchurch March against EFB: Report

The piece below was written by Andy Moore and republished at Political Animal with his permission. From the NZ Debate Blog

Proving that even South Islanders have some passion left! Good on Andy and the rest there today.



Approximately 350 people turned out in Christchurch today for the march against the Electoral Finance bill. Starting at 1:00pm at Victoria Square, we followed Bob McCoskrie of Family First, John Boscawen and a Korean War veteran, winding through the streets of the inner city, on the way to Cathedral Square.

Two of us carried blank signs, reference to the fact that if the EFB passes into law, it may become necessary for people to protest with blank placards to avoid being fined or imprisoned simply for speaking out against the Government or a particular party!

John Boscawen spoke powerfully against the bill, and passers by stopped and joined the rally. Next, Bob McCoskrie brought people's attention to the seriousness of the bill - and also paid tribute to John for the time and money he has put into the fight so far. Then we heard from a lecturer from Canterbury University who's main and most excellent point was that...

"This bill makes it a lot harder for the challenger, and easier for the incumbent Government."

An excellent point, which only then really hit me. Of course, it is obvious that Labour is pushing this bill through as a last ditch attempt to steal the election in 08 - I just didn't quite understand how. But the statement above puts it pretty simply and accurately. I will be looking round for an audio version of his speech.

At about 1:30pm we finished up with a round of applause.

A table had been run at the starting point in Victoria Square, and then in Cathedral Square to gather signatures for the petition calling for a referendum on the question: "Should a smack as a part of good parental correction be a criminal offence in New Zealand?"
