GRAFFITI OBSCENITY TARGETS NEW CONSERVATIVE

What do these images (below) tell you? Take a gander at what's happening to New Conservative billboards up and down our (un)lovely country. And consider the amount of time that went into the 'Handmaid's Tale' job done on NC Leader Leighton Baker in the third image below - which like all billboards stood in a very prominent position. How many passersby would have spotted the vandal at work? Why didn't they report it to the police?

Or did they report it to the police???

Yes, graffiti's been applied to Labour and National billboards too, but when you think how many fewer NC billboards there were (because NC doesn't have the money to put more up, even though they have as many candidates as Labour and more than National), it's obvious that New Conservative has been under much heavier fire.

The reason, NC Leader Leighton Baker says, is that, "In politics, we are the most dangerous as true believers who are secure in the knowledge that we are here to save New Zealand." 

"We have become a real threat, not just to the extreme left, but also to the establishment."

"The far left exhibiting their hateful anti-semitism and fascism via Nazi symbolism has not stopped us. Some people do it to be funny ... Every party gets damaged billboards. There are just some people in New Zealand who think it's okay to damage other people's property and who have no self-control," he said.

Baker emphasised that New Conservative is a very central party that has the values of family in mind and that if people looked into their policies they will realise they are not as extreme as some have suggested.

"We cannot be bought, we are not career politicians and we have ethics."

If you think the trashing shown above is bad enough, the mentality and morality of the vandals who oppose New Conservative is better fully revealed in the image below of Lee Smith, a Christian mother of seven and New Conservative candidate for Taranaki-King Country. Take a good hard look.

 

Lee snapped the pic herself; she's come up smiling. But she wants the rest of the country to see this evidence of the evil trolls who are out to get New Conservative. The only other example of billboard obscenity to be found on an internet search is of another Christian candidate, from another minor party. Funny that.

Makes me think of the reaction of Democrat senators at the US Senate confirmation hearings when after several hours of grilling, increasingly vicious, President Trump's Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett pulled out a crucifix:

New Conservative Leader Leighton Baker responded to inflammatory, puerile billboard graffiti with temperate language. In the head-on collision between Christian and Satanic belief we're seeing in Election 2020 (both here and in the US), Leighton's equanimity shows how good interacts with evil. 

Commentator Lindsay Perigo has accused Advance NZ of being 'charlatans' and he's right, but when he calls New Conservatives 'wimps' he's probably unaware that equanimity is one of the seven virtues which oppose the seven deadly sins.

On the feast of St Teresa of Jesus (Avila), and one day away from Election 2020 we remember her prayer for equanimity (aka patience, meekness). It's called St. Teresa’s Bookmark because, according to tradition this great saint carried it around in her breviary, where it was found after her death in 1582.

 

Let nothing disturb thee 

Let nothing affright thee 

All things pass away 

God alone is changeless 

Patience obtaineth all things 

Who hath God, wanteth nothing 

God alone sufficeth.
