Nixon seems a "working man's" Liberal Republican from early policies. Almost as if he was a Democrat.

This is interesting.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silent_majority#Nixon's_constituency

Nixon's silent majority referred mainly to the older generation (those World War II veterans in all parts of the U.S.) but it also described many young people... many of whom eventually served in Vietnam. The Silent Majority was mostly populated by blue collar white people who did not take an active part in politics...

In his famous speech, Nixon contrasted his international strategy of political realism with the "idealism" of a "vocal minority." ... "to end the war in a way that we could win the peace." ... Nixon Doctrine, according to which, "the defense of freedom is everybody's business—not just America's business." After giving the speech, Nixon's approval ratings which had been hovering around 50% shot up to 81% in the nation...

Publisher Roy E. Larsen wrote that "the events of 1969 transcended specific individuals. In a time of dissent and 'confrontation', the most striking new factor was the emergence of the Silent Majority as a powerfully assertive force in U.S. society." Larsen described how the silent majority had elected Nixon, had put a man on the moon, and how this demographic felt threatened by "attacks on traditional values".

The silent majority theme has been a contentious issue amongst journalists since Nixon used the phrase... Nixon won a landslide victory in 1972, taking 49 of 50 states, vindicating his "silent majority"...
The "silent majority" shared Nixon's anxieties and fears that normalcy was being eroded by changes in society. The other group was composed of intellectuals, cosmopolitans, professionals and liberals, those willing to "live and let live." Both groups saw themselves as the higher patriots. According to Republican pollster Frank Luntz, "silent majority" is but one of many labels which have been applied to the same group of voters. According to him, past labels used by the media include "silent majority" in the 1960s, "forgotten middle class" in the 1970s, "angry white males" in the 1980s, "soccer moms" in the 1990s, and "NASCAR dads" in the 2000s.

Whether we consider the USSR, Nazi Germany, the Vietnam
and other wars, or the recent invasion by Putin of the
Ukraine, or the injustices against our First Nations
people, there are many people who observed what was
happening and said nothing.

If we observe such abuses and don't say - "That is wrong!
Stop it!"we give tacit approval for the abuses to continue.
We are part of the silent majority that makes these heinous
deeds more acceptable.

Foxy is trapped in a communist plot and cannot perceive the current advantages given to the tribal people that occupied Australia. For her it is all about abuse and injustices, which is the Marxist cry agenda.

She cannot perceive they gained equality as citizens in 1967 and continued to receive funding support for projects for which they put in a business proposal. We are all here as equals except aboriginals who have twice as much spent on them per person compared to all other races in Australia - no problem. She assumes aboriginals are abused, treated unjustly, and we neglect to give support, which is a guilt and shameful assignment to those that vote NO.

She needs to talk to aboriginals who are voting NO, why are they?

Dear Canem Malum,

You are so off with the bloody fairies mate you need to be committed.

Russia isn't a communist country and hasn't been since 1991 even though there are plenty of very thick Republicans continue running the line for the even more stupid supporters, which obviously includes you.

http://www.newsweek.com/most-republicans-wrongly-believe-russia-communist-country-poll-1684317

For you to claim other posters here are communist even though that is patently not the case shows a deep ignorance of what makes a communist.

Why don't you try rubbing each of your two braincells together and get a grip.

The Australian Constitution, our nation's most
important legal document, does not acknowledge
Aboriginal and Tores Strait Islander people as
the First Nations People of this country and
still includes provisions to make discriminatory
laws based on race.

Our Constitution should reflect our values of
respect and fairness and recognize Australia's
rich Indigenous history and culture.

Ever since colonization Aboriginal and
Torres Strait Islander people experienced extreme
hardships ranging from the loss of their
traditional culture, homelands, to the forced
removal of children, and the denial of citizenship
rights.

Some of the rights that Aboriginal and Torres Strait
Islander people did not have - included
the required rejection of their
language and culture, plus a range of other rights and
freedoms which continued to be denied - such as where
they lived, whom they married, and how they spent their
earnings. To mention just a few.

The referendum of 1967 did not end discrimination.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples did not
receive equal wages as a result of the referendum.
Not much changed for them. Control was not in their
hands. And remains not in their hands today.

As for why some Indigenous people are voting no against
the Voice to Parliament?

Arguments for the NO campaign include - that the Voice
would not deliver any meaningful change for the Aboriginal
and Torres Strait Islander peoples or that Sovereignty and
Treaty should be priorities ahead of a Voice to Parliament.

We should appreciate what is being asked of us is a very
modest request - to allow them to advise Government on
policies and laws that will impact on their lives.
How can we deny such a simple request after what these
people have for decades had to put up with?

My post up above was in response to Josephus
and his invalid claims. The facts presented
are on record. All anyone needs to do is
Google them.

Josephus needs to give it a rest. Only extremists
are buying what he's selling.
