Things have stepped up a notch in South Africa.
South Africa deploys 25,000 troops to quell riots and ‘strategic destruction’
In one of the largest deployments of soldiers since the end of white minority rule, the military has been activate to halt riots that have killed more than 100 people.www.smh.com.au
I think he might be saying that only the lunatics are left.So are you saying Zuma is left? Or his supporters are left? Or the SA government is left?
I think you are confused about what it means to be on the "left".The thing I find interesting about the 'left', they don't accept anything other than complete capitulation of the other side, no matter what the issue is.
It is either accept everything we say as being the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, or so help you God.
There is no middle ground in their argument, it is their way or the highway.
It really is an interesting phenomena, it is passive aggressive on steroids, yet in reality it is no better than extreme right wing.
Thank god most of the population fall in the middle. ?
My guess is the Left are buying the most papers at the moment.
The problem with that is, it disenfranchises a lot more of the middle ground and ends up alienating the very people they are trying to influence.
Just my opinion, but the time is fast approaching where the question will be asked, "Are the people you elected running the country, or are the reporters and the media running the country"?
If people decide it's the media, why pay tax? ?
It will be an interesting confrontation IMO.

You, bas, red, and that's just here on ASFLike what?
And please don't quote some extreme nut case / academic etc they do not represent a progressive left view.
Like the crucifixion of Israel Folau and Margaret Court, over their differing opinion on homosexuality, to the 'progressive' left.Like what?

He did say to exclude extreme nut cases, that probably includes those with head injuries. ?You, bas, red, and that's just here on ASF

Strongly and ably supported by the left leaning, in the media.
No, they are usually just rich..
I'd say though that those of the social Left would not be likely to be economically conservative.
It's a great point that none of us should ever forget. I also tread along conundrous(sic) line, being economically near right and socially near left.I'd just like to point out that there is an 'economic' Left and a 'social' Left, one can be one without being the other.
I would identify as being economic Left, although not all that far Left, but I'm a bit more conservative when it comes to social values.

There are a lot on the Left who aren't rich and don't want anyone else to be either.
Folau and Court are bigots under every definition of the word, and they have openly preached their bigotry in the literal sense.Like the crucifixion of Israel Folau and Margaret Court, over their differing opinion on homosexuality, to the 'progressive' left.

Harmonious societies have no room for bigotry.
Really?Bigotry is a personal opinion.
I don't agree with what Folau said, but he had a right to say it without being sacked.
I may think that a lot of what you say is bigoted, but I'm not running around saying you should lose your job for saying it.
Really?
Is the meaning of all words "personal"?
Since when?
I won't reopen the Folau debate, but bigotry is of itself not against the law.
Completely false.Straw man argument.
If anything is said against a minority people can cry 'racism and bigotry' because they don't like what was said rather than examine the merits of the statement.
I refer you to the Queensland University case.
