Liberal MP Tim Wilson has blamed his colleagues' unwillingness to act on same-sex marriage for the "national silliness"that has erupted over tennis legend Margaret Court's boycott of Qantas.

He was responding tocalls forMelbourne's Margaret Court Arena to be renamed after Court, a staunch Christian, vowed not to fly with the national carrier because its gay chief executive, Alan Joyce, is a prominent backer of marriage equality.

Mr Wilson - who is himself gay and one of several Liberal MPs pushing for a free vote on same-sex marriage - was opposed to banishing Court's name from the stadium, describing the ideaas an example of "ridiculous behaviour" by activists.

"What we're seeing now is a dehumanising ofpeople if you disagree with them," he told Sky News on Tuesday night. "It isn't justaboutcensoring and silencing, it's actually about questioning the legitimacy of your place in society."

But in a rebuke of his colleagues' intransigence on the issue, Mr Wilson said the frustration with Court partly reflected a frustration with the Federal Parliament for failing to legalise same-sex marriage despite enormous public support.

"I think a lot of what's happening at the moment is people are expressing their frustration in other ways because the issue isn't being resolved," Mr Wilson said.

"Frankly, the discussion around marriage for same-sex couples has descended into a kind of national silliness where people are just taking more and more extreme and absurd positions because they're not actually debating the issue.

"They're not actually debating resolution of the issue becausethe Parliament won't deal with it. So I think we've got to be mindful that that is part of the reason why we're seeing this type of ridiculous behaviour."

That type of hysteria would continue "if we keep not dealing with it and finding a sensible way through", Mr Wilson said.

Such a route would involve protections for people who disagreed with same-sex marriage to ensure they would not face "persecution", he said.

The Coalition tried to legislate for a plebiscite on same-sex marriage last year, but it was blocked in the Senate by Labor, the Greens and parts of the crossbench.

Since, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has refused to countenance a free vote on the issue, despite calls from a handful of Liberal MPs.

The Court controversy flourished with contributions from tennis stars Casey Dellacqua, who told Court "enough is enough", andSam Stosur, who hinted at a player boycott of Margaret Court Arena at next year's Australian Open.

On Monday, Court said she was the victim of "bullying" because of her belief that marriage should be between a man and a woman.

"I have nothing against gay people, we have them in our church and Ihelp them," she told Sky News.

"[But] God made man for woman and woman for man ... and go multiply the earth. Well you know that two men can't multiply the earth andtwo women can't.

"I have nothing against people with their life, if they want to lead a life like that. But this is a Judaeo-Christian nation and Ibelieve we should protect marriage because we have natural laws - when a policeman says stop we stop."

Liberal MP Tim Wilson blames colleagues for 'national silliness' over Margaret Court comments - The Sydney Morning Herald

One hears about right-wing media sites, like Breitbart, InfoWars, and Gateway Pundit, spreading conservative conspiracy theories almost on a daily basis. The latest comes from Fox Newss Sean Hannity who kept talking about the debunked theory that Seth Rich, a staffer at the Democratic National Committee who was shot dead near his Washington, D.C. home, had supplied DNC documents to WikiLeaks and was killed for it. While those stories get covered extensively by mainstream media, a Dartmouth professor is concerned that liberal conspiracy theories are also being spread across social media.

In an interview with New Hampshire Public Radio last week,Brendan Nyhan, a professor of government at Dartmouth College and New York Times contributor, explained there are many conspiracy theories or fake news stories about President Donald Trump and his possible campaign connections to Russia.

Im seeing a disturbing trend of people taking the very serious and real questions about Russian interference and using that as a pretext for all sorts of wild and unsupported conspiracy theories. These are often coming from internet personalities and people who work on social media, but theyre infiltrating into the discourse more generally through liberal elites who are amplifying them. So were seeing a spread of these claims out into the mainstream in a way that I think is potentially worrisome.

He points to several examples in the past few weeks of the spread of misinformation online that has reached a mainstream audience. On Lawrence ODonnells MSNBC show The Last Word, he gave legs to the theory that Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the chemical weapons massacre in Syria to help Trumps popularity ratings by encouraging him to launch a missile strike.

Its important to remember Democrats spent the last eight years complaining about the birther myth and all sorts of conspiracy theories around Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, and now just a few months later, here we are, Nyhan said.

The rise of liberal conspiracy websites or social media personalities, especially on anything related to Trump and Russia, has been analyzed by a few media outlets.

Liberals desperate to believe that the right conspiracy will take down Donald Trump promote their own purveyors of fake news, wrote Sarah Jones of The New Republic.

By embracing every single tweet or whisper as yet another piece of full-proof evidence of just how terrible Republicans are, Democrats run the risk of appearing like the boy who cried wolf to the public and in the process taking some steam out of the very legitimate questions they are asking about the Trump administration, wrote Chris Cillizza of CNN.

Voxs Zack Beauchamp calls it the Russiasphere.

They worry that the unfounded speculation and paranoia that infect the Russiasphere risk pushing liberals into the same black hole of conspiracy-mongering and fact-free insinuation that conservatives fell into during the Obama years. The fear is that this pollutes the party itself, derailing and discrediting the legitimate investigation into Russia investigation. It also risks degrading the Democratic Party helping elevate shameless hucksters who know nothing about policy but are willing to spread misinformation in the service of gaining power.

Another theory was spread after Republicans passed the American Health Care Act earlier this month. A reporter tweeted about a large supply of beer in the Capitol. Liberals took that ammo and fired off theories that spread like wildfire on social media that the beer was going to a GOP meeting celebrating the bills passage.

The theory was later found to be false, and even though the reporter tweeted a correction, that tweet only got a handful of retweets.Mics headline is indicative of the early coverage: Republicans celebrated taking away Americans health insurance with cases of beer. (The millennial news site has since changed the headline to: Reports of beer delivery to GOP health care celebration called into question.)

But Nyhan said the damage was already done.

People are looking for bits of factual information that seem to confirm a pre-existing narrative. This is the problem with confirmation bias, he said. Were seeing that sort of pattern in much more serious circumstances when it comes to the Russia investigation where every piece of information that comes out is being spun and interpreted in the worst possible ways, and in some cases, were seeing outright fabrication and speculation being reported and amplified.

Not everyone is convinced, though, that leftist conspiracy theories are being spread as much as conservative ones. Jeet Heer of The New Republic wrote a counterargument analysis saying while theres no denying that conspiracy theories are spread on the left, only the Democratic Party acts responsibly when faced with politically convenient, but obviously fantastic, stories.

There still exists a feedback loop on the left, so when a prominent person falls for a conspiracy theory, they are challenged by the media and willing to correct themselves, he wrote. Conversely, conservatives tend to adhere to a no apologies ethos that makes admitting error verboten.

In a survey administered by Survey Sampling International immediately after the election (Nov. 7-10, 2016), found that partisans conspiratorial predispositions can vary depending on which party holds political power. Democrats conspiracy scores increased significantly compared with a previous survey in July 2016.

The percentage of Democrats who agreed on average with the conspiracy claims in the scale increased from 27 percent before the election to 32 percent after the election. By contrast, Republicans willingness to endorse conspiratorial claims declined after the election over all, decreasing the percentage of Republicans who agreed on average with the false statements from 28 percent to 19 percent.

Nyhan said everyoneplays a part in spreading misinformation and more people should be willing to publicly correct themselves if they get a fact wrong or spread a debunked theory.

We all can take some responsibility for this in the kinds of information we share on social media, he said. Were all potentially complicit in the spread of misinformation. Everyone will be fooled. Thats part of the medium, for better or for worse.What Ive been disappointed to see is how many people dont exercise the appropriate care in what they do amplify and fail to correct the record when the information theyve circulated turns out to be wrong.

Dartmouth Professor Concerned About Spread of Liberal Conspiracy Theories on Social Media - InsideSources

CNN host Fareed Zakaria is a frequent and vocal critic of President Donald Trump, but even he had to admit that liberal intolerance to conservative voices is a hypocritical and growing epidemic. He made the assessment in a monologue on his show Sunday.

Were at the height of commencement season and people are imparting their words of wisdom on newly minted graduates, Zakaria began. I was honored to give the commencement at Bucknell this year. But at Notre Dame, where Vice President Mike Pence was giving the commencement address, the ceremonies were interrupted by a hundred students who turned their backs on Pence and walked out in protest.

A few weeks earlier, U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy Devos was booed while giving the commencement address at Bethune-Cookman University, he said. I talked about this issue at Bucknell and I wanted to share those thoughts here.

American universities these days seem to be committed to every kind of diversity except intellectual diversity, he continued. Conservative voices and views, already a besieged minority, are being silenced entirely.

The campus thought police have gone after serious conservative thinkers like Sarah MacDonald and Charles Murray, he explained, as well as firebrands like Milo Yiannopoulos and Ann Coulter. Some were uninvited, others booed, interrupted and intimidated.

Its strange that this is happening on college campuses that promised to give their undergraduates a liberal education, Zakaria continued. The word liberal in this context has nothing to do with todays partisan language, but refers instead to the Latin root, pertaining to liberty. And at the heart of liberty in the Western world has been freedom of speech. From the beginning, people understood that this meant protecting and listening to speech with which you disagreed.

Freedom of speech and thought is not just for warm, fuzzy ideas that we find comfortable. Its for ideas that we find offensive, Zakaria said.

There is, as we all know, a kind of anti-intellectualism on the right these days. Denial of facts, of reason, of science. But there is also an anti-intellectualism on the left. An attitude of self-righteousness that says we are so pure, we are so morally superior, we cannot bear to hear an idea with which we disagree.

Liberals think they are tolerant, but often they arent, Zakaria concluded.

Campus protests seem to have increased in number and rancor, especially in the Trump age after so many progressives believed they were going to win the election. But recently even some on the left have begun to question if the violent protests are proportional to the political opponent they are decrying.

"The word liberal in this context has nothing to do with today's partisan language, but refers instead to the Latin root, pertaining to liberty. And at the heart of liberty in the Western world has been freedom of speech. From the beginning, people understood that this meant protecting and listening to speech with which you disagreed," Zakaria argued.

That means, he said, not drowning out "the ideas that we find offensive."

In addition, Zakaria noted what he called "an anti-intellectualism" on the left.

"It's an attitude of self-righteousness that says we are so pure, we're so morally superior, we cannot bear to hear an idea with which we disagree," he said.

"Liberals think they are tolerant but often they aren't," he added.

No one, he continued, "has a monopoly on right or virtue."

In fact, it is only by being open to hearing opposing views that people on both sides of the political spectrum can learn something, Zakaria said.

"By talking seriously and respectfully about agreements and disagreements, we can come together in a common conversation," he said.

"Recognizing that while we seem so far apart, we do actually have a common destiny."

Rush Limbaugh roundly mocked Mark Zuckerberg on his radio show Friday because of what he saw as a left-wing commemoration speech the Facebook founder gave.

Mark Zuckerberg, Rush explained, the founder of Facebook you know, he dropped out of Harvard. He was at Harvard. He dropped out of there because Facebook took off. So he went out to California and did what he did to build Facebook up. So he went back, went back to Cambridge, Massachusetts, yesterday to do the commencement address. Are you ready for this? The 366th commencement.

Zuckerberg thinks that everybody ought to have an identical income, he continued, that we need to have a what does he call it a universal basic income. Well talk about how to pay for it later. But we need as many people as possible running around not worrying about how to pay the bills. Thats when you get real creativity. Thats in the second bite. Here is the first. Mark Zuckerberg, commencement, Harvard yesterday.

There is something wrong with our system, Zuckerberg said in the recorded sound byte, when I can leave here and make billions of dollars and

Wait, wait, stop the tape, Limbaugh interrupted. Mark Zuckerberg, dont give me some woman here. Its Mark Zuckerberg. Youre not playing the right bite. That was a woman, right? Oh, really? Oh, jeez. Oh, its too long. Theres too much time gone by to bleep that, aw, jeez.

Well, thats what happens when you have artificial hearing, he said. Honest to God, it sounded like a female editor at some liberal magazine. Okay. Friday, cue the thing back up. Gee, I thought it was a girl. Ah, its embarrassing.

Limbaugh has just recently been under fire for his comments praising the studly and manly Greg Gianforte for assaulting a reporter before the Montana special election for the openU.S. House seat. Gianforte later apologized to the reporter and to his supporters for the incident after winning the election.

Trumps negative media coverage is being driven not by Democrats but by law-enforcement sources and pissed-off Republicans.

CNN analysts discuss President Donald Trumps comments on the necessity for the US Civil War. (Screengrab / CNN)

Last week, when CNN reported that Attorney General Jeff Sessions had left a couple of meetings with Russian officials off his application for a security clearance, Representative Jeff Duncan (R-SC) falsely claimed that the broadcaster had later retracted the story. In a Facebook post, Duncan, who is not known for having the keenest intellect on Capitol Hill, wrote, The media was never this critical to President Obama, the recent Harvard study proves that the media has applied a completely different standard to President Trump.

Duncan, like many on the right, sees a recent study of the mainstream coverage of Trumps first 100 days in office released by Harvards Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics, and Public Policy as solid proof that the media treat Trump unfairly. It looked at news reports in the print editions of The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Washington Post, the main newscasts of CBS, CNN, Fox News, and NBC, and three European news outlets, and found that 80 percent of Trumps coverage by those outlets was negativesignificantly higher than the shares for Barack Obama (41 percent negative), George W. Bush (57 percent), and Bill Clinton (60 percent) at this point in their presidencies. Conservative publications greeted the report with headlines like Harvard Study Confirms Media Bias Against Trump and Harvard Report: There Is A Huge Anti-Trump Bias In Corporate Media.

The obvious response is that the vast majority of stories about famine, natural disasters, and genital warts are negative, and that doesnt imply a bias on the part of those writing them. Trumps young presidency has been a train wreck, his White House has been mired in largely self-inflicted scandals, and his legislative agenda has so far gotten nowhere in Congress. And Trump, unlike his predecessors, has a penchant for impulsively tweeting dubious claims and inflammatory nonsense. The study also found that the sheer volume of Trump coveragehe was the subject of four of every 10 news stories in the outlets studieddwarfs that of previous administrations.

But thats not the real story. The real story is that Trumps negative coverage is being driven not by liberals or Democrats but by law-enforcement sources and pissed-off Republicans.

Its important to understand the studys methodology. According to its author, Harvard scholar Thomas Patterson, Tone is judged from the perspective of the actor, the actor being, in this case, Donald Trump. A story is coded as negative when the actor is criticized directlyfor example when Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer told a reporter, Eleven weeks into his administration, we have seen nothing from President Trump on infrastructure, on trade, or on any other serious job-creating initiativeor when an event, trend, or development reflects unfavorably on the actor. So negative stories are either stories that quote someone griping about Trump, or stories about developments that cast a negative light on his performance.

And heres a key point, as it relates to that first category: Republican voices, wrote Patterson, accounted for 80 percent of what newsmakers said about the Trump presidency, compared to only 6 percent for Democrats and 3 percent for those involved in anti-Trump protests. So the coverage has not featured a bunch of liberals complaining about TrumpDemocrats and those engaged with the anti-Trump resistance were few and far between. The fact that Trump has received more negative coverage than his predecessor is hardly surprising, the report says. The early days of his presidency have been marked by far more missteps and miss-hits, often self-inflicted, than any presidency in memory, perhaps ever.

Stories about events that reflect poorly on the White House have in large part been driven by leaks (a fact that infuriates Trump and his supporters). We cant know the ideological breakdown of the people speaking to reporters anonymously, but we do know that Trumps own staffpeople close to himhave been the source of a number of negative stories, and we know, thanks to White House leaks, that Trumps staff often leaks information to the press because, as the very conservative Erick Erickson reported, sometimes the president will not take advice. Sometimes the president treats suggestions as criticism. More often than not, the president is vastly more interested in what the media says about him than what his advisers in his employ say to him. According to Erickson, who personally knows an ardent Trump supporter in Trumps orbit who was the source of one such leak, White House staff have ample incentive to leak to the press when they believe the president needs to pay attention or be admonished. Just think for a moment how often youve read a story in which an anonymous source criticizing the president is identified as a current or former supporter or adviser or donor.

THE STAKES ARE HIGHER NOW THAN EVER. GET THE NATION IN YOUR INBOX.

Law-enforcement and intelligence agencies have been the other big source of leaks. Theyre not all right-wingers, of course, and their motives for leaking include, depending on how you look at it, either revenge for Trumps many assaults on the intelligence community, or a principled defense of institutions they see as vital to our national security. Neither of those things represents ideological bias.

One might certainly argue that many of the Republicans who dominate the public discourse about Trump were hostile towards his presidency from the beginning. Prominent #NeverTrump conservatives like Ana Navarro, Stuart Stevens, David Frum are easy to find on cable TV and social media. But when a reporter doing her best to cover the president fairly sees similar criticisms coming from both the left and the right, when her story reflects those views, its not a matter of bias. Thats how he said-she said journalism, for all its obvious flaws, has always worked.

Ironically, the Shorenstein study did find significant bias at one media outlet: Fox News was a lone outlier in that almost half of its Trump coverage was positive. Looking back at 100 days marked by chaos and failure, its hard to imagine what a truly fair and balanced news outlet possibly could have covered in order to run so many positive segments.

"We are living in an interminable succession of absurdities imposed by the myopic logic of short-term thinking." -- Jacques Cousteau

Facts dont care about your feelings. Ben Shapiro

Like a crack addict who cant seem to think about anything other than his next fix, liberals cant seem to think about anything but spewing their emotions at the world. They may be reflexively saying something that makes them feel compassionate, outraged, sensitive or angry, but liberals usually seem to be caught in the grip of some strong emotion.

Of course, it goes without saying that emotion unmoored from logic produces a lot of warped views, but it also mires a person in short term thinking.if you could even call it that. Because when youre emotional, most of the time youre not thinking; youre reacting based on your feels. This is where a lot of liberals live 24 x 7 and so, its not shocking that their behavior is so thoughtless.

Take rock star Katy Perrys reaction to the Manchester bombing, "No barriers, no borders, we all just need to coexist. So, what does co-existing with radical Islamic terrorists who want to kill you mean? Is Katy Perry going to invite ISIS terrorists from Syria to bomb her next concert?

Can you imagine how bizarre the typical liberal reaction to terrorism must seem to the terrorists?

Terrorist: We want to kill you in the name of Allah because were good Muslims!

Liberal: No, youre not. Thats not what you believe.

Terrorist: Yes, it is.

Liberal: No, noyoure oppressed and probably upset about global warming.

Terrorist: Wait, what?

Liberal: Lets all co-exist!

Terrorist: How did you miss the entire, We want to kill you in the name of Allah thing? What is wrong with you?

Then there are the Trump Administration leaks. Undoubtedly, some of the leaks inside the Trump Administration are coming from his staff, but others appear to be coming from the deep state. In other words, Democratic holdovers in the government bureaucracy are leaking information to the press in order to attempt to sabotage a rival political party. Obviously, these leakers are so consumed with their hatred for Trump that they feel politically motivated leaks are justifiable. Except whats going to almost inevitably happen once a Democrat gets back into office? Republicans in the deep state are now going to leak things in an attempt to embarrass him.

Liberals are so overwrought with emotion that they dont get the idea that theyre setting precedents when they do these sort of things. Its like the shock and surprise they experienced when they used the nuclear option to keep Republicans from blocking Barack Obamas cabinet appointments, only to find that it also meant they couldnt stop Trumps cabinet appointments. Wait, you mean that applies to liberals, too? Yes, and those leaks? The next Democrat President is likely to be undermined in exactly the same way.

Look at the liberal threats and violence at universities that have become a regular occurrence. At worst, liberals riot when people they disagree with speak on college campuses and at best, they make threats and do everything they can to rob conservative speakers of their First Amendment rights. Liberals are so supportive of this kind of thing that the police in liberal cities or on liberal campuses refuse to stop the rioting or disruptions.

In other words, conservatives no longer get the same protection from the police. Even illegal aliens are treated better by the police on campuses controlled by liberals. So, when thats the case, is anyone surprised to see that someone like Based Stick Man was warmly received by conservatives for breaking a stick over a violent ANTIFA protestors head? It wouldnt surprise me if we start seeing armed gangs of conservatives policing marches to protect other people on the Right from armed gangs of liberals since the Left has convinced the police not to do it. This is the world liberals are creating with their short term thinking: one where both sides of the political argument will have armed factions at political rallies. How healthy does that sound for the country?

Liberals do the same thing on the deficit. Supporting that program makes me feel good! Spend somebody elses money on it and I dont like thinking about the debt; so just ignore that.

They did it with Obamacare. They lied about the bill, assumed no one would recognize they were misled to when the bill became law and cared nothing about creating an expensive new entitlement program when the country is drowning in debt.

They get upset that Trump actually told NATO that if were going to be in a military alliance, then the nations involved will have to spend enough on their militaries so that they field an effective military force. How dare Trump try to make NATO useful again!

Theyre so blinded by their emotions that theyll even rank Hillary Clinton as the 6th most beautiful woman on the planet. Seriously.

It is impossible to competently govern a nation based on pure emotion and short term thinking. Additionally as a practical matter, its impossible to cut a deal with people whose entire rationale for doing things is, A celebrity told me what I should believe and now I have to do it or I heard a sad story yesterday; so everything has changed. At some point, liberals have to engage in some long term thinking that goes beyond, As long as were in charge, everything we do is okay, or our country is going to get dragged down the tubes along with them.

Norberto Arroyo Jr. rides Stormy Liberal to victory in the Daytona on Saturday.

ARCADIA, Calif. Stormy Liberal is the king of the hill.

For the fourth straight time this year, Stormy Liberal on Saturday won a downhill turf sprint stakes race at Santa Anita, but his victory in the $147,000 Daytona was the most significant to date, as it was his first graded stakes win, with the Daytona being a Grade 3 event.

The Daytona was reduced to four horses by the scratches of Eddie Haskell on Friday and then Roy H earlier Saturday; as a result, there was no show wagering. Stormy Liberal ($3), the 1-2 favorite, pressed the pace outside Blackjackcat and Ambitious Brew, then held a safe margin over Ambitious Brew the length of the stretch after Blackjackcat retreated. He won by a neck, with Ambitious Brew second by 1 1/2 lengths over Blackjackcat. Home Run Kitten trailed.

Stormy Liberal was timed in 1:12.43 for about 6 1/2 furlongs down the hill. Norberto Arroyo Jr. was aboard, as he had been for victories earlier this meet in the Clockers Corner, Joe Hernandez, and Siren Lure.

Hes the best claim Ive ever made, said trainer Peter Miller, who claimed Stormy Liberal on behalf of Gary Hartunians Rockingham Ranch in October after the horse was recommended to him by David Lanzman, a horse owner who is friends with both Miller and Hartunian.

He ran a 100 Beyer the day we got him, so I dont know if hes gotten better or stayed the same, Miller said. Hes maintained his form. We got lucky. We caught someone stealing.

Stormy Liberal was claimed when returning from a six-month layoff. He won that day, then was second in a pair of races for Miller before embarking on his current win streak.

Stormy Liberal, 5, is a gelding by Stormy Atlantic. He has now won seven times in 20 starts, and is 7 for 12 coming down the hill. He earned $90,000 on Saturday to bring his career earnings to $432,070, but he has won $232,200 this year alone, quite the return on investment for a $40,000 claim.
