It is said that:

"The road to hell is paved with good intentions".

Conservatives, are not afraid to act decisively when such actions are needed to protect the "Christian" West from harm and destruction of its culture.

They don't just have good intentions.

Fixed it for you.

Strip the cross from the Ralph Reeds and Leonard Leos of the world. Then what you are saying might make a little more sense.

German supermarket chain ALDI operating in Australia has now also joined Woolworths in banning the sale of Australia Day ("Australian themed") merchandise in its stores.

Maybe they'd feel happier in Germany.

I shop with them regularly. Great value.

I'm happy that you're happy.

To them, not you:

many in Australia are basically saying to them...in the words of Greta:

"How dare you!"

They were going along nicely, until they bought a ticket to ride the "trash Australia Day" express.
Australia only exists because many Australian/Allied lives were sacrificed fighting Germany in two world wars.
The flag they refuse to sell represents Australia's history, geography, and political system.
The Union Jack, the stars of the Southern Cross, and the large 7 point Federation Star.

No way I'll ever spend one cent in ALDI again.
Which of course won't send them broke.

National Weather Service data shows there has never been a colder Iowa caucus night than what is forecast for Jan. 15. The previous coldest was in 2004, when the high temperature for the caucus was 16 degrees.

We may not warm above zero degrees on Monday, said Des Moine meteorologist Chad Hahn. I would not be surprised if we dont get above minus 20 degrees for wind chills beginning on Sunday.

If the demog there in Iowa has younger voters skewing away from Trump, then old folks staying home could help Haley and/or DeSantis.  But could go the other way, due to the common phenomenon of the most extremist voters mustering highest turnout.   Repubs not happy with the whole field, who might grudgingly go for Haley, might opt to stay home close to the hearth.

The families of our leaders have the opportunity to do good and to serve our people and to serve humanity.

Gerald Ford's wife, Betty Ford, had a drug problem, so she dealt with it publicly and she brought the whole nation into her battle against addiction, and then she opened the Betty Ford Center in Palm Springs, California, to help other people to get clean. Ozzy Osbourne and Elizabeth Taylor and many other stars went to the Better Ford Center to get clean.

I had a professor in community college who attended San Diego State University, and he worked at the Betty Ford Center, and he was involved with Carl Rogers, etc, and he taught us a lot about how the program at the Betty Ford Center worked, and he said it was a great job and he loved meeting the stars, he made the Betty Ford Center sound like a great place to work.

Betty Ford made the world a better place via her position as the wife of Gerald Ford. And instead of being shamed for her addiction she dealt with it in public and made her recovery a team goal, and then she helped others.

Salute,

Tony V.

When I look at all the injustices of the world, and I drive past churches, I ask myself,  What kind of people worship there?

Of note is that the 5 Eyes Intelligence group members besides US and UK ...Canada, Australia, NZ, that did not have ships involved in the UK/US missile attacks on Houthis in Yemen...we're given credit by Biden Admin as assisting/supporting.
Allies all.

Houthis are now threathening to take revenge on all countries involved.
As such, Australia should hit the red alert button and immediately ban all immigration/travel to and from Yemen etc.
"Lock down" the country tightly.
Other countries involved should do the same.

Houthi terrorists are coming.
*Welcoming* parties should be ready for them.

Aside from shithole inspectors nobody is coming to Australia.

Guess he never heard of Barack HUSSEIN Obama, huh?

If Nikki Haley wins in New Hampshire she will quickly become Nimarata for the rest of the primary states.

Wish it were so, but when terrorists threaten things it's best to heed their words and make defensive plans.

That would be people who believe that Jesus was/is real.
That he was born on earth in Bethlehem, walked among the People of the time, was crucified, then ascended into Heaven.
Christmas and Easter.

[facilitatorn]

Not people who remember that Jesus was born a refugee and that his mission was to get people to support the least among us and to separate the spiritual from the political, tearing down hypocrites who fake holiness for political ends and serve personal greed at the expense of their fellow man.

King saw churches filled with people at war with the kingdom of Heaven that Jesus described.

You should think about this as you finish your journey straight to Hell, Bambu. An awakening that saves you from your blasphemous idolatry may still be possible.

You missed King's point.  He looked around America and could not help wondering how people who purportedly followed Christ could treat their fellow human beings the way they were doing.

King was right. If they are not helping the poor, and if they are not ministering to the people in prison, and if they are not helping the orphans, etc, as the Lord instructs us to do in Matthew 25; 31-46, then they are not real Christians. And they will be known by their deeds, there are a lot of fake Christians who are just profiting off of the Lord without doing as the Lord instructs us to do in Matthew 25; 31-46.

And part of the joy of success and wealth is giving your money away to the poor and helping others and being altruistic, like Elvis did, Elvis was a good Christian, and listen to his song "In The Ghetto" as it is a very powerful song that made me weep as a child, we need to help the poor people in the ghettos. We can pay the immigrants at our Southern Border to put a new coat of paint on our ghettos, we can paint the ghettos bright cheerful colors, and we can build libraries and coffee shops in the ghettos, etc, and old buildings can be torn down to create green space such as parks, etc. I think Elvis was friends with Martin Luther King Jr.

If they are not helping the orphans, and the poor, and if they are not ministering to the people in prison, etc, like the Lord instructs in Matthew 25; 31-46 then they are not real Christians.

Towing back the boats by "The Monk" (former Aust Prime Minister Tony Abbott) was a very good Christian act.
. Put the people smugglers out of business.
. Stopped asylum seekers drowning at sea when the unseaworthy smuggling boats sank.
. Allowed refugees waiting in line in UN camps worldwide, some sleeping standing up in mud, their chance at a safe and better life.
. Enforced the rule of law, enforced border security/integrity.
