ACHIEVING LASTING CHANGE PART 4

Seen this week:

AUSTRALIAN DEMOCRATS WEBSITE- Multiple pious statements of their commitment to diversity, seemingly evidenced by site prominently featuring content for the Gay /Lesbian/ Bi/ Transgender community.

Why then was the only mention of people who go to church, a larger part of the population, to be found in a highly manipulative "survey" on "God and Government?" Leading questions, selective and subjective definitions of concepts which people were asked to then vote for or against--no depth was seemingly too low to descend to.

(LEADING QUESTIONS= Questions suggesting the desired answer to the person being questioned, prompting them towards a certain 'correct' answer. Its use here shows that they are interested, not in learning people's genuine beliefs on the issues, but in having them comply with the party line...a common lack of respect of the individual in left-wing settings. )

The survey portrays people who go to Church as a threat in need of statutory regulation and control. Hardly a true reflection of genuine acceptance and tolerance.

Those who trumpet their commitment to diversity are generally the most bigoted, small-minded and prejudging. By refusing to admit there are some things in life with which they are uncomfortable, they are limited in their capacity to coexist with diverse perspectives.

Ever tried to rationally discuss an issue with such people? If they disagree with you they will either shout you down, become patronising or go off in a sulk...rather than being able to genuinely take on and consider the claims of a different perspective..even SHOCK HORROR...LEARNING from it!!

Don't talk about being committed to diversity.
Don't boast about it....

JUST DO IT!

Actions speak louder than words.
