‘Whoever Loves Austria Is S***’ – Austria’s New President Hates His Own Country
Breitbart ^ | May 23 ,2016 | Raheem Kassam 23

Posted on 05/23/2016 12:21:48 PM PDT by quesney

They called it an “election gimmick” and a “campaign gag”, but the new president-elect of Austria once presided over his party’s campaign that declared: “Anyone who loves Austria must be shit”.

Alexander Van der Bellen – who appears to have defeated the Freedom Party’s Norbert Hofer by around just 30,000 of nearly five million votes – has a track record of opposing the nation state as a concept, and his own as a reality.

In 2007, while he was leader of the Austrian Greens, the party published a picture of a dog with the Austrian flag in its mouth. The poster read: “Take your flag for your gag”, followed by the declaration that anyone who loves the country “must be sh*t”.

The flag “joke” was a play on a campaign urging dog owners to place their dog’s excrement in bags and trash cans. The Austrian greens replaced the bag with a flag of Austria in the image (right).

And while, of course, efforts were made to distance Van der Bellen from this 2007 Green Party initiative, the issue re-emerged on the run up to this weekend’s final round of presidential election voting. Far be it from a “gag” or one-off incident, critics say, this attitude against borders and nations runs deep through the Austrian Green Party which is now in charge of the presidency of the country.

Newspapers drew attention to another more recent incident, whereby a leading Green activist declared: “Austria [is a] lousy piece of shit!” when discussing the country’s recent border controls to deal with Europe’s migrant crisis. “These are facts, not subjective opinion,” Georg H. posted to his Facebook page.

Any Freepers from Austria or Germany care to explain stuff like this....

...and explain other things, like how so many of your women are being assaulted by Muslims without any German men doing anything about it.

What they heck has happened to you people?

How many Dems, especially the liberal indoctrinated college ones, are amenable to spelling America as “Amerika?”

One of the big Left thrusts has been to break down group loyalties—to religion, to country, to any form of tradition, including morality, and even to family.

Austria isn’t too different in this regard from the rest of the West.

Western societies have allowed their children to become so brainwashed that national pride has become a hated virtue.

Well who hasn’t had a president who hated his own country? Seems to me, we have one now.

“Whoever Loves Austria Is Sh*t”

Is that why they just elected a leftist turd as their President?

Hope the Austrians enjoy their new Muslim Masters. They voted for it.

Maybe the Greens approve of Muslim invaders because of their habit of relieving themselves in the bushes rather than using that darned plumbing stuff.

And they don’t waste toilet paper.
