National Marriage Day & the UK riots

David Chalke also pointed out that the ruling elite in the government and the Canberra Press Gallery live in a different world, have a different agenda and a different mindset to the great bulk of ordinary Australians. He talked about the ABC media program, Insiders, and said that the name itself is a good example of the 'group think' of the 11-12% of people who control our media and governmental world.

I will let Miranda Devine finish the story:

"But the biggest divide between the insiders and the outsiders - or between the so-called elites and Middle Australia - is based on what used to be called family values.

Whereas 75 per cent of Middle Australia believes in the proposition: 'It's time this country got back to basic moral values like honesty, hard work and putting families first', the same was true for fewer than half of the elites.

Australians want to celebrate 'ordinary decency and morality', says Chalke. Which is why reality shows celebrating the achievements of ordinary people, like MasterChef, rate...

Yet how rarely are happy marriages and well-adjusted children spoken about or celebrated. Instead, a Martian arriving in Australia could be forgiven for thinking all we have are dysfunctional unions, cheating spouses, and "Polly has two mummies" controversies.

Marriage is the best way to keep people out of poverty and keep children happy. Yet screenwriters, novelists and journalists dwell on its dark side, on breakups, violence and betrayal."

And yet sadly in spite of the wishes of the Australian people who place heterosexual marriage as their number one accomplishment in life the current Gillard Green government seem hell bent on destroying the natural family, fatherhood and marriage both by example and legislation.

The current roll back of our Shared Parenting laws that will be enacted in the coming weeks by the Gillard Government are a prime example. These new anti-father laws will ensure that more children will grow up fatherless. As Bob Dylan sang so many years ago "When will we ever learn?" Maybe the call by Journalist, from the UK Telegraph, Peter Osborne for "a moral reformation" in England could well be applicable to Australia.

One thing I do know is that the best way "to cure selfishness and greed," which has become so acceptable in the ailing nations of the western world, is to get married and raise children. It will either cure you or kill you! I can tell you now it is a great way to 'die to self'.

Just ask my wife. She has had to put up with me for the last 35 years, she deserves a Gold Medal.
