Hegemonic Liberals
The New Zealand Labour leader, David Shearer has been getting a lot of schtick. He has confirmed his belief that New Zealand needs to take taniwha seriously. For our non-Kiwi readers, taniwha are, according to Maori, mythical spirit monster which dwell in the lands, seas, and rivers. They need to be placated at appropriate times and places, lest they become angry and do damage.

Rent Seeking Monster
Treating Maori With Respect
New Zealand is boldly arrogant and fiercely proud of its rejection of the Living God. Consequently, it is not surprising that as a nation we are so often played for fools and given up to stupidity. We have just been given another serving up of the pathetic genre.
Maori, by playing on white liberal feelings of guilt and pity, exploiting them with great cunning, have inveigled themselves into a position of great influence in our country. Essentially, Maori, as the indigenous people, have manoeuvred themselves into a position of perpetual rent-seeking, by which they extract money every time somebody breathes. The only debate now is over not whether, but what new rents can be extracted. The issue as to whether Maori are entitled to extract rents was settled three decades ago. This unfortunate affliction has come about because white liberal guilt met up with cunning Maori avarice and the latter very cleverly and successfully did over whitey.
Traditional Maori animism believed in mythical monsters known as taniwha.
