I wouldn't vote for him under any circumstances.<br /><br />But even people who hold thoroughly evil and destructive beliefs can be, on a personal level, perfectly pleasant and even admirable human beings. Being wrong doesn't make you a monster. I'd shake Turnbull's hand but I wouldn't vote for him.<br /><br />Having said that, I think the overall moral standards of politicians are so low that I find it difficult to feel much sympathy for any of them. I've met quite a few. Some are very nice people. But I wouldn't trust a single one of them. There's something missing in them. dfordoomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02306293859869179118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832901.post-92089332496849342192016-06-10T01:12:04.184+10:002016-06-10T01:12:04.184+10:00In fairness, his opening address that you have inc...In fairness, his opening address that you have included above seems to indicate a limited view of government and its purposes, not an entirely bad thing by any means. This attitude does not necessarily exclude a broader view of Man.

The picture shows it. However the strong bond of father, son and family Turnbull tradition and ancestry is one that the left hates so will do everything they can to destroy it. The left hates strong people and worships victims. They do not want the public to have such stories as examples or such role models to be emulated.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832901.post-3619083122799449562016-06-09T23:51:47.439+10:002016-06-09T23:51:47.439+10:00There is another dimension to this story. Turnbull...There is another dimension to this story. Turnbull is a Scottish clan with specific traditions which Malcolm's father obviously observed. One is the strong bond between father and son (who often have the same first names and family traditional middle names - in this case Bligh - passed to Malcolm's own son through family lines). <br /><br />The father is responsible for grooming the son to achieve education and then wealth and power through planning, effort, self control, diligence and advantageous marriage. The difficulties of their situation after the mother left probably strengthened their resolve, determination and sense of purpose to achieve these goals and prevented them from declining into complacency and indifference. Their tragedy united them to each other and to their tradition.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
