Australian Flag Banned
Australian moonbats are banning their own flag from this year's Big Day Out event in Sydney. Any flag or bandana bearing the national symbol will be confiscated at the gate. Producer Ken West equates the flag with "gang colors."
The event used to take place on Australia Day, but promoters moved it out of fear that it might become associated with love of country, which is of course an incorrect emotion.
West points out that Australia Day is disrespectful to aborigines, who if they have been properly indoctrinated believe they would be better off running around the outback in loincloths trying to hit kangaroos with boomerangs than living in a civilized country.
On a tip from V the K.

How absolutely retarded. These idiots aren't going to stop until we have all left and went back to Europe (if we let them). If I were the Aussies, I would show up covered from my head to my feet in my flag and crash that little moonbat party.

By the way, did anyone else notice the patronizing, sniveling, and sarcastic way the story was reported? The undertones in the story suggest to the reader that demanding people be loyal to the nation they live in is "nationalistic" and of course, the all-purpose "racist." The article also flat out labelled those people "bigoted" in an attempt to silence debate on the issue. How very typical of the media to distort the view point. I hope Aussies don't let this happen.

Disgusting. Australia's normally a cool country, I'd like to maybe go there someday.

Adam, John Howard and most of the government are speaking out against the ban-the-flag crowd. It's the moonbat organizers of the music festival who are pushing it, and even the headlining act, Jet, (a band I like very much) have refused to take down the Australian flag that is the backdrop to their set.

Socialism??? Nice try. What do the Palestinians, and Al Qaeda, and the rest of militant Islam murderers have in common with the left here in the US? They hate Jews, that's what.
