Belly,

What is it that goes against your grain from my desire to keep this Nation from deteriorating due to PC & muzzling free speech ?
To be quite honest, you're a puzzle. On one hand you state your love for this country, yet on the other hand you denounce people who care about it. The political party you're so loyal to has now on several occasions nearly run this Nation into the ground & fortunately there are fence-sitters who bail us out at the end of every Labor Government. Admittely, they only do this so a conservative administration can fill the coffers again for the next rorting term. Still preferable though than being totally ruined if they didn't change Governments.
I will support your party if they can proof they can run a country. Thus far they have not done so.

Below is what I found on Google.

Patriotism is love for your country and loyalty towards it.
He was a country boy who had joined the army out of a sense of patriotism and adventure.
We live in an age when patriotism is often sneered at.

Dear individual,

As far as I know - "patriotism" is not just for
a select few. Or it's not supposed to be for most
decent human beings. What we should be doing is
being inclusive - not saying - "Asians go home"
and so forth. Which is what Pauline Hanson does.
She spreads hatred and exclusion. And that's not
patriotism - not the country of the "fair Go."
that I grew up in.

It is easy to confuse patriotism and nationalism. A true patriot is a person who values their nations heritage and beliefs, and is willing to stand up for, and if necessary defend that which they hold dear. A nationalist is an extremists who demands regimented conformity from all, and those who do not conform are to be mistrusted, despised, hated, and even persecuted.

George Orwell, described nationalism as ‘the worst enemy of peace’. According to him, nationalism is a feeling that one’s country is superior to another in all respects, while patriotism is merely a feeling of admiration for a way of life. These concepts show that patriotism is passive by nature, and allows for the respect of others with a differing heritage and culture. Nationalism can be extremely aggressive, both within a society and externally. A Nationalists makes no allowance for ethnic or cultural differences, and promotes his own culture as being superior to the exclusion of all others.
"Nationalism is rooted in rivalry and resentment. One can say that nationalism is militant by nature and patriotism is based on peace."

"Asians go home"
Foxy,
Any chance you could go & look around Cabramatta, haven't had an update from there for a while. Actually, you would be very close to Liverpool & Bankstown so you could include a report from there.
I never see caucasions congregate in enclaves in free countries, so why do think non-europeans have enclaves wherever they settle ?

Paul. "It is easy to confuse patriotism and nationalism. A true patriot is a person who values their nations heritage and beliefs, and is willing to stand up for, and if necessary defend that which they hold dear".

So true Pall. If you were to drop an observer into the post war Oz of 1960 they would have found a homogeneous nation, despite all the "wogs" we had absorbed. One to be proud of & engendering patriotism in the extreme. It wore it's heritage like a badge of honour

Drop that same observer into the Oz of today, & they would not believe it was the same place. Post Democrats, far left Labor idiots like Grassby & Whitlam, & post the Greens, & they would find a cesspit of grasping ethnics, all wanting to rip off their neighbour. Certainly nothing to engender feelings of patriotism in anyone, & totally devoid of any heritage, or values.

Thanks lefties.

Dear individual,

All communities have their own enclaves.
Including Aussies when they travel overseas.
That's only normal - to feel more at home
amongst your own. Particularly when you're
not always welcomed or included in the
mainstream community of the country in which
you live. If you're made to still feel like
a "foreigner" after decades of living in the
country - is it any wonder that you seek
friends and relationships where you are
made to feel welcome. If you push people away
you can't blame them for finding other "enclaves,"
where they do fit in.
