Well argued Steven

Anti-Americanism is a lazy ideology of those ignorant of how much America has done for us:

- WWII, Guadalcanal principally to prevent a Japanese naval blockade of Australia - 7,100 Americans dead,

- WWII, New Guinea Campaign mainly to prevent Japanese threats to Australia, 16,850 American casualties. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Pacific_War_Japanese_Advances.jpg

No foreign country apart from America has defended Australia.

Anti-Americans are generally ignorant or ignore Australia's history. The Australian government did its utmost to draw the US into Vietnam.

The US never organised mass scale campaigns in which Australian had to fight only for America. Meanwhile Britain organised and ordered Australian forces into Gallipoli, WWI Western front, WWII Mediterranean, WWII Bombing of Europe all totalling approximately 70,000 Australians dead.

It always amuses me to read the stuff put out by indoctrinated American apologists, god bless them.

The 'stuff' always includes mention of the action of the U.S. in fighting Japan in WW2. The fact that the U.S. joined the war TWO YEARS AFTER IT BEGAN is never mentioned. The fact of Pearl Harbor causing the U.S. to attack Japan also barely receives a mention. You would think that the U.S. attacked Japan to save Australia! What a load of bollocks!

The fact that the U.S. is the world's biggest imperial nation intent on controlling the world and the fact that it has almost gone bankrupt building up an enormous military and the fact that it has thousands of military bases around the world or access to them never gets much mention either. Funny thing that!

Neither does its 'endless war' strategy or its attempt to grab most of the world's scarce resources or its attempt to push China into a corner, etc, etc. Then neither does its use of torture and rendition or its use of drones and white phosphorous or its putting people in cages or its support of despots and Royal Tyrants or its crushing of dissent in America and its spying on its citizens.

America poses the major threat to the survival of our world. And it will use nukes to get its way if push comes to shove!

Australia must become neutral if it is to survive!

Plantagenet put it very well: no other nation on earth has had its men die to defend this small nation. America is a long way from decline, but we can show her how well we work within our means and by our example show them that we are more than allies, but friends with mutual dreams and aspirations.

Often anti Americanism is really a hatred of the God who blessed America so richly. Most of the great nations founders honoured Him. As America has turned to the godless secular dogmas and draw its support away from Israel its blessing has and is being lifted. Their destiny will be determined by whether they repent and turn back to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob or continue down the path of secularism where vile language is an everyday affair, the murder of the unborn, pornography, child abuse, racial hatred and violence is rampant. Take away the God of peace and you are left with sinful, prideful man trying to work things out with no hope of solutions.

David G and runner

I can see you're both ideological twins.

David, of the predictable anti-Americanism and your new mate runner off on his special Anti-US crusade:

"Their destiny will be determined by whether they repent and turn back to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob or continue down the path of secularism where vile language is an everyday affair, the murder of the unborn, pornography, child abuse, racial hatred and violence is rampant. Take away the God of peace and you are left with sinful, prideful man trying to work things out with no hope of solutions."

Runner you shouldn't talk about priests that way. They have enough trouble in Godawful China which will be slowed (slewed?) with pollution as it strives to be No. 1.

Enjoy your fellow traveller David and remember the witch burnings of Salem (USA) and don't mention The Spanish Inquisition :)

Pete, do you understand that, because I'm an atheist, I can't be an ideological twin of Runner?

And I notice in your reply that you haven't queried any of the many points I made in my comment. American-apologists never do.

American-apologists are similar to god-botherers: they just ignore any facts that contradict their foolish beliefs.

Australia will pay a heavy price for its mindless idolatry of the U.S.

Know thy enemy!

Cheers.
