The State of (Oz) Affairs

swagman | 01.05.2006 14:41 | Analysis | Social Struggles | World

No greater tragedy has beset the Australian nation than at the present time. Everything that is un-Australian masquerades as the leader of the nation; is it necessary to name John Howard as the personification of everything that is un-Australian? A cowardly, cringing, lying, weevil does not an Australian make! Howard is the most grotesque, obnoxious flea that has ever inhabited political office. A perfect coward and pathological liar has won the last two elections by default. The local population desperately sought a viable opposition but found NONE; a high school student could have beaten Howard but not the present opposition; no greater congregation of self-centred, self-destructive, inept fools has ever sullied the floor of parliament.

Who will save the nation? It is clear that the two party political system is a total failure. The rules in first grade sport were changed when it became obvious that existing rules were inadequate – it’s time to apply the same good sense and logic to government. Common and good sense came to the rescue of sport, we should surely expect a similar display of remedial action to save the nation.

If anyone stands for an Independent Republic with a coherent new constitution and modern Bill of Rights – one that embraces the best values the past with a clear vision for the future – then take that baton and run with it! Howard (and the Labor Party) follow Bush and the USA to oblivion. This region is under the Southern Cross in the South Pacific, US interests are not our interests. In fact, they oppose our interests.

In the meantime it is important to note those who support Howard and the dying US empire. Those who subscribe to the ideology of cowardice and possess a cringe mentality; those who have no Australian identity but seek American values instead; those who support the destruction of the egalitarian ideal, mateship, and a way of life that was the envy of the world. Make note so that this nation can be cleansed of the disease that would destroy two hundred years of heritage. America seeks irrelevance by choosing not to participate constructively in today’s New World; only bereft fools and cowards would follow.

It is time that every red-blooded Australian (from whatever background) started making a mental note of those traitors, those chicken-shits who admire foreign paternalism and cannot stand on their own two feet.

The treasurer, Peter (supercilious prick) Costello, recently attempted to redefine the Australian identity. He has based his criteria on racial grounds and conservative political values. Costello stated that those who do not fit into a (yet to be explicitly divulged value structure) will not be granted citizenship or permanent status. Whatever imbecilic criteria these right-wing clowns invent, it will spell deportation for the Prime Minister and his front bench. Do not be surprised!

Howard is a glaring example of one who denies his heritage and adopts a foreign value system – his is the leadership of an infant pursuing a father figure; the leadership of psycho-pathology, a person incapable of achieving full maturation; an infant seeking protection from bogey men. Howard’s personality problems will not become the values of the nation while red-blooded Australians live. We take great pleasure in reminding Howard that his government was elected by default and that his lies and deceit are not capable of eradicating two hundred years of Australian culture. Furthermore, today we have the ICC, which will become a people’s court in which (all) State leaders guilty of crimes against humanity will be held accountable; gone are the days when ex-prime ministers could rely on the protection of a succeeding corrupt regime.

We are extremely eager to implement Costello’s new criteria for defining an Aussie citizen. People who overtly display foreign values and have trashed the defining characteristics of what it is to be an Australian are free to emigrate to the nations whose values they hold more dear than our own. John Howard and his front bench are easily identified as those who have adopted American values and in consequence they will be deported to the nation that they serve – America can have them, and good riddance.

During his tenure in office, Howard has emulated and implemented American values and social policies, which are inferior to traditional Australian values and social policies. Nevertheless, Howard serves the ruling elites and wealthy, he is an obedient little deputy sheriff.

I could continue but that would not be in the Aussie spirit – it’s your go ol’ son!

Endnote:
I am completely unapologetic for this rabidly nationalistic paper – the values I cherish are universal brotherhood, the fair go, and the egalitarian principles that have made this nation the envy of the world. Howard will go down in infamy, as the most destructive traitor and criminal in our history.

I have always been a strong opponent of capital punishment, but in Howard’s case I could make an exception.
