A Place for Conservatives

Shouldn’t you have thrown in the obligatory “Murdoch press” for good measure ??

Well naturally the Murduch press are emblematic of this phenomenon, Fox News has brought the lunatic fringe into the mainstream and started to normalise a political and cultural discourse based in fantasy, prejudice and outright lies, the sort of propaganda machine the Goebbels would have dreamed of.
 
I still try to hold on to some conservative values. In college, I was heavily influenced by conservative icons like Edmund Burke, Michael Oakeshott and Raymond Aron, but over the last ten years especially, their ideas and influence has been trashed by the reactionary right. No question that traditional conservatism is a dying philosophy.

I'd say its mostly dead, interestingly its dying politically here, our own conservative party is being captured by the far right, however electorally the conservative center-right seems to be rejecting the far right agenda.

Lol. Ya. Unfortunately theyre all liars atm. Seriously Shorten is the most straight faced liar I’ve seen in politics.

Oh for the days of someone like Keating, leaders with vision and balls

Shorten is a massive philanderer, must be something about the name Bill, bastard can't keep it in his pants.
 
Dunno how he’s gotten away with it.

His been mostly irrelevant for a long time and additionally the media doesn't really report that sort of thing, Prue Gower was rumoured to be Howard's long time mistress. The libs tried to make a thing of it when Barnaby's **** got put out in the street but the media wouldn't bight. Pants-less Bill tried it on with a lefty lawyer I know.
