| #8 the australian media are in the pockets of the power brokers, especially news.com, owned by Rupert Murdoch. Australia is the shill for the Chinese. The Chinese want to portray the US as currency manipulators to justify their own Yuan peg, which has helped drive their economy upwards. if that unfair peg were swept away by the threat of US tariffs, China would lose factories and jobs to the US. they don't want that. they don't want the US winning the culture war of saying it's unfair so the Chinese PR spin comes out cleverly through their lackeys in the Australian media. in return the Australian lackey journos get access to important Chinese for interviews, and news. It is true US policy is inflationary - but that helps US exporters. At the same time it raids savings. Cash is trash, buy gold. |

| #5 With a few very brave exceptions like LTC(Ret) Allen West and others, the democraphics of the American Tea Party movement is universal and quite telling. They are the businessmen, employees, the providers, builders, and paid-up pensioners....not the PAYEES! They and people like them are UNDER ATTACK and the attack is growing. Subtle sometimes, hidden just below the surface, but other times blatant and disrespectful. The left is angry, very angry. Their messiah of Hope & Change is callapsing under the weight of his own Harvardian arrogance, bigotry, and lack of American understanding. He and his socialist coharts have finally been revealed. The left and the entitlement payee crowd will grow more and more angry and resentful. It may get quite ugly but the culture war must be fought. We will not cower away to some remote Oriana-lite English speaking, agrarian existance. Nor will we long for some separatist conservative utopian state. America remains the last bastian of real hope and freedom. Together, whites, Asians, blacks, Latins, coloured, we must mend what is broken, learn from our errors, rebuild, and continue on. |

| #4 Hello Besoeker! As the fellow from Australia says Spot on. I have found that the one who screams a crime many times is the perpetrator. When confronted is the most outspoken in denial. The breadbasket of Africa is gone. Those who don't fit their template are gone. Other races have moved to DC because they see the power the minority now has. What they don't know is they are not inclusive with other peoples. Why is C. Rice so agreeable to O as well as Powell. Why are the votes so unbalanced. Judge by what they do rather than what they say. The riots taught me this. They will leave the poor of their own behind but will use them when it is to their advantage. |

| #3 Australia has a goodly number of immigrants from the ongoing culture wars in Zimbabwe and South Africa. These are people who have watched their fortunes disappear through taxes, their street names changed, their schools closed, jobs and opportunities blocked because of race, their farms and property seized by the government and given to ANC politcal party supporters. On day number one of the his presidency, Obama removed the bust of Winston Churchill in the White House oval office and replaced it with that of a black man. This was more than symbology, it was a message, a foretelling of things to come. |
