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.

In short: “Suicide of The West.”
What worries me is that nationalistic (or patriotic) presidential/party head nominees in Europe like Farage, never seem to make it. Do people get scared at the last minute over ‘right wing’ candidates and vote in the opposite direction? I worry this will play out with Trump.
Is he related to our president? There must be something in the water world wide that a good portion of the public want to duplicate Venezuela.
Looks like the rot-weiss-rot is all rot and no weiss.
Guess things are going to have to get even worse.......and they will.
yes this is hopeless part. In one generation the governments discourage their people from having babies. And in the next generation the governments import foreign people — and historically mortal enemies at that — because their people are not producing babies.
Why not just encourage their own people to have more babies. the russians are doing that successfully.
The level of nihilism is just over the top in the west.
Cucks
The psychological impact on whites of being called a RACIST seems to be the greatest weapon the left and commies have ever used on Europeans to master them.
I was in a “Latino” meeting a few days ago and those bigots had no problem spitting out Brown Pride and Reconquista rhetoric to loud rumbling applause.
Nationalism isn’t racist by any means. Maybe whitey will figure it out before he’s bred out of existence or sent to the execution lines?
Very, very true. Without the Caucasian race, the world would still be in a hut and we’d all be wearing hula skirts.
They have come a long way since the ‘Sound of Music” and the Von Trapp Family Singers’ What were those lyrics to edelweiss?
Beat me to it
This is so sad. Austria came so very close to moving considerably to the right, but instead they are putting someone in who is a great deal farther to the left than the man he’s replacing. The good news is that the Kanzler (Chancellor) is a more powerful position, so if this new Marxist president is a screw-up and the “refugee” situation worsens, perhaps the anti-mass immigration party (the FPÖ) will win the chancellorship in 2018. If they could have won the presidency this time, though, it might have set off a domino effect throughout Europe and West. Schade.
Sounds like they also have a majority of a voting population like we have too.
You mean the “bless my homeland forever” part of Edelweiss?
Yes! that’s the one.
Stupid people. We have them in the U.S. also, lots of them.

Doesn’t look like it.
Recently, I discovered I very well might be part Austrian.
We used to think it was German.
My dad reminded me very much of Capt. Von Trap.
Disciplined but always working hard to keep his family safe and provided for.
He sacrificed a great deal for us.
Wish I could tell him that now.
Should be about time for another war over there. They are about due.
