I encountered a despicable conservative on twitter who told me that the fool who embarrassed Australia on the world stage for 726 days, you know, the fool who turned up for the D-Day Commemorations in a BMW, and said that the country was open for business, was quote, "Something you'll never know. An honest gentleman." Apart from the fact that this fool created a "Big Lie" about a carbon tax that wasn't (bang goes any theory that he was honest) and described a female politician as having a "shit-eating grin", and said that the first female Prime Minister should "make an honest woman of herself" (i.e. get married) he isn't a gentleman either.

This despicable conservative also claimed that he believed in small government and free speech. Free speech, in a political context, means that you have the right to criticize the government without fear of loss of life, liberty or income, not that you can say whatever you like without consequence. This despicable conservative retweeted a tweet calling upon the current clown (then Immigration Minister) to deport a writer and satirist who was an Australian citizen for criticizing the government!

Conservatives are both hypocritical and illogical. And here's another point. The fool who embarrassed Australia for 726 days claimed that he had a son who was given up for adoption. He was there when he was born, but it turned out, probably to the relief of the guy, that the fool who embarrassed Australia for 726 days was not the guy's father, after all.

Furthermore, the fool also claimed that it would be folly to suggest that men and women could do the same things yet claimed that he was a feminist because he has three daughters! That's akin to saying that you're not anti-Japanese because you've had three Toyotas!

The fool claimed that his party was "ready to govern." This fool's manifesto was basically abolish anything to do with the environment, a harsh policy on refugees and cut funding to government funded channels! This fool saying he was "ready to govern" was akin to saying to your son who'd just turned 16 was ready to drive three blocks to get a takeaway pizza when he's never even started the engine on a car!
