Patriotism Is No Longer The Preserve Of Racists And The 'Far Right'

With election campaigns gathering speed on both sides of the Atlantic, the long suffering electorates of both countries are being force fed hypocrisy and doublespeak on a massive scale.

Modern day elections are no longer fought on the campaign trail where candidates engage the electorate on their doorsteps or by debating their policies at open public meetings; they are won by the party with the slickest media campaigns where actual policies are replaced by mudslinging and the demonising of political opponents.

Dedicated grass roots party activists have been replaced by expensively recruited PR professionals, advertising executives and image consultants who design media campaigns based on information supplied by political scientists using information from pollsters and focus groups.

Proof of this perversion of democracy is not difficult to highlight. One would think that after a five year Parliament the current representatives would know exactly the issues that are of most concern to their constituents and therefore campaign accordingly.

In Great Britain at least, the days when politicians listened to their constituents and represented them in Parliament are long gone. Expensive foreign PR consultants are deigned to be better equipped to write manifestos and decide what's best for the people.

David Cameron's Conservative Party has hired Australian Lynton Crosby, a professional PR man, as their top election strategist.

Ed Miliband's Labour Party have hired American David Axelrod, President Obama's PR man, as their election strategist.

Nick Clegg's ridiculously named Liberal Democrat Party have engaged, as opposed to hired, a South African PR man named Ryan Coetzee. While the other two parties are paying their PR men out of party funds, the Liberal Democrats are re-charging the taxpayer for the services of Mr. Coetzee.

The idea that an Australian, an American and a South African are best qualified to articulate the hopes and aspirations of the British people is absurd. They are hired as propagandists to convince the electorate by fair means or foul, mainly foul, that the politicians are on their side when they are so obviously not.

As far as the British election is concerned, what should have been a straight forward excersise for the PR men in obfuscation and election bribery has been thrown into confusion by the rise of non-establishment parties, namely the United Kingdom Independent Party, known as UKIP, the Green Party and the Scottish and Welsh Nationalists.

The Greens and the Nationalists have their niches of support but it is UKIP that is causing the most consternation in the ivory towers of the establishment party elites.

After decades of sovereignty stripping, oppressive regulations and unrelenting looting of taxpayers money by the European Union bureaucrats, along with their policy of open border mass immigration, has resulted in a trickle of support for UKIP becoming a flood.

The UKIP message is simple: Great Britain should be a self-governing, sovereign nation as opposed to a chattel of the Soviet style EU. The British people should resume control over their borders and adopt a points based managed immigration system as opposed to the current free for all madness. British values should be paramount, with British culture unashamedly celebrated as opposed to being suppressed.

Up until the surge of support for UKIP, the three legacy parties used their long established strategy of insult and smear, accusing UKIP and its supporters of being racist and members of the 'far right'.

David Cameron lowered the tone of the debate, tarnishing the office of Prime Minister in the process, by accusing multitudes of decent British citizens of being "loonies, fruitcakes and closet racists" because they love their country and prefer it to be sovereign.

As the election campaign progresses and support for UKIP holds firm, it would appear that controlling immigration with a view to reducing the numbers, clamping down on EU regulations, returning some sovereignty to Parliament, teaching British values in schools and celebrating British culture is commendable after all.

The foreign PR men of the three establishment parties have decided that 'multi-culturalism' is not that hot after all and patriotism is no longer the preserve of racists and the 'far right'.

The pollsters and the focus groups confirm that UKIP's pro-British policies are resonating with the electorate and therefore, guided by their PR machines, the politicians have adopted the position that what was thoroughly despicible yesterday can be celebrated as laudable today.

In reality what is thoroughly despicable is the hypocrisy and base behavior of an untrustworthy political class that knows no shame and which is devoid of ethics, principle or any trace of decency.

A pox on all of them.

Netanyahu Joins The Long List Of 'Progressive' Hate Targets

Even to the most casual of observers it should be obvious by now that the ex-leader of the free world, President Barack Obama, has the emotional maturity of a spoiled brat who didn't get his own way in the candy store.

Undoubtedly, despite his best efforts, along with those of his political machine, the re-election of the impressive Binyamin Netanyahu as Prime Minister of Israel is a huge setback for his pro-Arab, pro-Iranian, anti-Israel agenda but this is no excuse for the display of petulance that is unbecoming of a President of the United States of America.

Anyone with any knowledge of the socialist/communist/self loathing community - these are the same people that go around calling themselves 'liberals' or 'progressives' - this reaction to an electoral setback is nothing new, in fact it is a perfectly normal response.

People who embrace the democratic process and engage in informed political debate tend to accept any election losses as part of the process as disappointing as they may be. This is because they tend to be intellectually more mature and accept that there are points of view contrary to their own.

Due to their firmly held belief that their world view is absolute and a historical inevitability these so called 'liberals' or 'progressives' are emotionally unable to accept defeat in any shape or form.

They are unable to accept that there are other world views and opinions contrary to their own hence their propensity for hatred toward anything they disagree with. They don't even possess the ability of agreeing to disagree, they must be right all the time.

'Progressives' don't just disagree with capitalism they hate it along with those who promote it. They don't just disagree with individual liberty they hate it along with those that promote it; they don't just disagree with Fox News they hate it and those that promote it; and so the hatred goes on with everything they disapprove of. This ranges from Wall Street to the fossil fuels, from CEO's to CO2.  
It's not just ordinary everyday hatred either, it's a visceral hatred that defies any rational explanation.

Surrounded by enemies that want his country and his people erased from the face of the earth has imbued Prime Minister Netanyahu with the tough qualities necessary to be a leader of his people and it goes without question that a love of country i.e. patriotism, is another prime requirement.

His media appearances warning the world about the danger that a nuclear armed Iran poses for Israel and the civilised world, together with their support for ISIS and the spread of radical Islam, are diametrically opposed to the appeasement policies being pursued by Obama and his besotted followers in the Islamified countries of Europe.

The Prime Minister's growing stature among the more civilised people on the planet, coupled with his tough stance in the face of murderous enemies, is showing up the rather flimsy leadership qualities of Obama, Cameron, Merkel, Hollande et.al. for what they really are; weak and cowardly springs to mind, not to mention embarrassing.

Patriotism, democracy, military strength along with the willingness to kill his country's enemies without quarter are an anathema to 'progressives' and along with their inherent and ideological anti-semitism it's little wonder that Prime Minister Netanyahu has attracted their hatred and that of their 'Progressive' in Chief.

I am sure he will take the hatred of his detractors in his stride and time will prove him right to stand up to the Ayatollahs and their murderous offspring who are without doubt a clear and present danger to the civilised world.

Prime Minister Netanyahu is in good company as the target of the lefts visceral hatred, he is joined in part by:

Free enterprise

Individual liberty

The Constitution of the United States (especially the First and Second Amendments)

Christianity

Prosperity

The Military

White middle class heterosexuals

The aspiring working class

The Fat Controller

Salt, sugar, pop...........................and so on and so forth
