Pride is a sideshow : Comments

By Mercurius Goldstein, published 4/8/2006

The renewed political push to take pride in our national history is misguided.

Mickjo, and you wouldn't even know of these so called Leftists if it were not for your right wing commentators telling you who they were- indeed spoon feeding you knowledge you would have otherwise not have - and still do not have. This tiny yet significant fact seems to allude you and others every time you pretend to have been intimate purveyors of Australian history over the past 30 years. You have not and are not. It astounds me how people who were not even politically conscious in the 1980's reinvent themselves as erudite readers of Australian history just for the sake of attacking historians whose books they have never read- nor intend to read.

Rainier, having been adult for all the past thirty years, believe me , I have seen all that has happened and I have seen the backward left drag this country down as far as they can drag it.
The left can only play on the side of supposed 'victims' because any others haven't the patience or the desire to have anything to do with them.
Our history has flaws, mistakes were made , are still being made, but the biggest mistakes are now made by those who refuse ,out of petulance, to see what a really good country this is.
But some just want to whine on and on , that's OK, there is freedom here to do that as well.
But those who whine should never be given the freedom to dominate our streets, our parliament or our press. Because they belong to all of us.

Totally agree with it belonging to 'all of us' (Howard speak circa 1996), but the reality is 1. the Howard government rules, and 2. the Murdoch Press supports this rule carte blanche (with the exception of Phillip Adams)and 3. the streets are periodically filled with those who have the right to dissent.

How is this representative of a Leftist monopology on public opinion?

Are are you just parroting to compensate for a lack of true investigation into the facts? ie, Dog whistled ?
