Is it time to stop being patriotic? : Comments

By Alex Kats, published 2/8/2013

A year later, after 9/11 and the political exploitation of the Tampa incident, xenophobia had crept into our happy society, and people started to be racially and offensively profiled.

...With a comment such as that #Poirot# maybe you should get a life before you lose it to immigration policies.

...So, when the balance of 60/40 white Australians tips below 50/50; yourself and Christine Milne will be happy will you?

Poirot, are you PRO (really, not as a theoretical dream):
1. The individual liberties listed in the UN Declaration of Human Rights?
2. The personal liberties arising from the Enlightenment?
3. The right of peoples to self-determination in the lands in which they are born?

If so, you fulfill two of your "antis" and thus fit your own ridiculous definition of "virtual White Australia Policy" and thereby have insulted yourself.

If not, political correctness has robbed you of any moral compass.

Ferris and new friend,

Yes of course, let me apologize to any "progressives" who have blindly dropped into this site. The administration should really have a sign out front saying: "Warning this site has not been approved by the PC brigade and may shock" -very remiss of them!

You see, OLO is not like most of those other blogs or broadcast services which have their scripts vetted and approved by the one-eyed
PC commissars before publication. It reflects the raw opinion and emotions of the grass roots.

So, if you cannot stomach challenges to your cherished prejudices please move on to one of those other venues further down, such as SBS, the ABC or New Matilda which cater exclusively to your delicate progressive sensibilities.

PS: I'm not sure where you've found these attributes: " anti-Asian... pseudo Anti-Semitic, virtual White Australia Policy" but I guess as with most progressives once you start rolling off the cliches it hard to stop at one or two!

ferrisb, you should have seen it a few years ago.
When I first encountered OLO, it was Progressive City.
Nationalists need not apply.
The Progressives would gang up on you like starved dobermans.

The change to a more nationalist, less utopian perspective may be a reflection of changes in our general society.
We are more honest now. And more willing to speak up.

What may I ask are "pseudo Anti Semitic" and 'Virtual White Australia Policy" responses?
I will protest when a writer says "As a Jew I believe" and then proceeds to make assertions about other ethnic groups, especially MY ethnic group.
The most obnoxious thing one can do is turn to another ethnic group and say "YOU ARE!...." If Mr Kats had any manners he'd respect the fact that the law in this country prohibits criticism of Jews and Judaism by Gentiles and he'd hold his fire. We White Nationalists have had to grow up and learn to operate within the rules of a multi racial society, maybe it's time Mr Kats and the other loudmouths within his race did the same, nobody likes this situation but there's no need to go out of our way to make it worse.

I believe that most Australians, whether they will admit it or not, wish that the boats would stop because of fear of Islam.

With few exceptions, the boat people, Islamic mainly, are fleeing from Islamic terrorism of one form or another. They choose Australia because of its freedoms, as well as its high living standards, and yet, unknowingly perhaps, bring with them the seeds of the same terrorism. This can be seen all through Europe, where the native peoples despair at the rising levels of Islamic intolerance.

Oslo, for example, is now the rape capital of Norway, where young Muslim males account for almost all attacks on women, although still only a small percentage of the population. Jews in France have been advised to emigrate to Israel for their own safety, and even the secular - Christian? - population are feeling cowed by growing Islamic intolerance in many English cities. This century may well be more violent in Europe than in any previous century, with full scale civil wars, merely because they lacked the will to stop immigration.

It is not a sin, or a weakness, to wish defend one's culture, especially against a violent and intolerant seventh century religion. We should seriously consider closing Mosques and Islamic schools, and taking other actions to make us a less attractive destination for those who are certain to cause us terrible grief in the future.
