The conservatives are more than annoyed about the minister of foreign affairs, McCully (who is resigning from parliament at the next election) working with Kerry (the US secretary of state) to get a resolution through the UN. Hat tip Cam Slater, who linked to this on the borg. Flaxmere Pastor Nigel Woodley and Hawkes Bay … Continue reading The Kiwi deplorables.

Lectionary New Year’s Eve.
What a year. The left have made themselves known. I could describe them, but a better man has done it: Tom Kratman, take it away. Bu’, bu’, but…you’re educated! You’re just so much better educated than the knuckle-dragging high school graduates of flyover country! Surely their votes shouldn’t count! Surely, at least, yours should count … Continue reading Lectionary New Year’s Eve.
Judeo-Christianity is Leftist [John 7]
There has been a big debate over the issue of Israel driven by a foolish UN ruling -- where NZ has some culpability. I support the right of Israel to exist. But I don't have illusions about the people of that faith. They are AntiChristian. They have been antiChristian since they nailed Christ to the … Continue reading Judeo-Christianity is Leftist [John 7]
Kiwi cynicism
I should call this rescued from the Faceborg. John Ansell on the shameful accession of NZ to Obama's attempt to ruin Israel at the UN. There are two small errors here. Obama is not going to be president for too long, and with Helun Clarke high in the UN Key will not be welcome running … Continue reading Kiwi cynicism
The cure for our religious delusions [Rev 1]
The NZ Herald used to be the paper of record. It was somewhat traditional: in my childhood everyone read it, if not for the news for the classified section. The paper is thinner: the economics of the classified section have imploded, and it is now a tabloid in shape and in quality. But the editors … Continue reading The cure for our religious delusions [Rev 1]
And who will judge the LORD? [Kipple]
There is now a facebook group suggesting Michelle Obama run for the presidency in 2020. Because being the first lady qualifies you, as if politics is a sexually transmitted disease. There are problems. One is that the left don't understand meaning or tradition or religion except when it suits them: and the second is that … Continue reading And who will judge the LORD? [Kipple]
Propaganda or Christ? [Mt 18]
There are a few Jews who I respect. One of them is Rabbi B, who lurks among the Dread Ilk. The topic is below the fold, for the sake of the kids: but the perverse are now running large parts of Oculus, and Oculus is owned by Facebook. There is an innocence among Children and … Continue reading Propaganda or Christ? [Mt 18]
The Friction of our Fallen State [I John 5]
Christ is with us and we are with Christ. But how should this affect what we do? How then should we live? And what does this stuff about love mean? Who should we love? Is it everyone? Should we love more and more difficult and disturbing people, in a kind of competition, so that we … Continue reading The Friction of our Fallen State [I John 5]
Do not be where the crowds are.
Are you a creative? Do you write? Do you want time to think? Do you want to blog, read theology, play music? Do you want your family to be safe? Then, if you can, get out-of-town. Be where the crowds are not, as Remus used to say. Because the town is a bubble, and you … Continue reading Do not be where the crowds are.
St Stephen’s day or a shopping spree on Boxing Day?
Today, in New Zealand, is Boxing Day, and it is a day for shopping. If I was in Auckland I would have followed the functional system we had for the kids: give them primarily money and then, this morning, plan an attack to get into the shopping malls and out to the beach before the … Continue reading St Stephen’s day or a shopping spree on Boxing Day?
