We Aussies are, at times, a strange lot.
In our happier times, the ethos of "work hard, play hard" almost becomes the national motto. The 2000 Sydney Olympics is a prime example. For a country of 19 million hosting the Olympics is no easy task. But tens of thousands worked tirelessly to make the games the best ever. The world saw us party, saw us enjoy the fruits of so much hard work. Likewise, many Aussies in Bali were there to enjoy the fruits of their hard work, sporting or otherwise. When we party, we party hard and loud.
But now, in our time of national mourning, the vast majority of Australians are silent.
Why?
The shrill voices of the left, the appeasers, the anti westerners are screaming that this was all our fault. Australia has joined America in its fight, a fight that they believe we should never have joined. This is what we deserved. We asked for it.
But the majority of Australians are silent. They are silent with rage and single minded focus. We do not yell and scream and call upon God to rain down vengence. We quietly roll up our sleaves and get to work. Our work now is to destroy those who would destroy us.
No flag waving, no rallies. Just silent rage and quiet action. Those who would destroy us will not hear the massive wave of rage they have unleashed. Our actions will speak for us.
Silent and deadly.
We will stand beside you, together we will get the bastards who murdered your loved ones and ours. Every last one, no matter how long it takes.
Ahh that flag, the Union Jack, the Federation star (7 States in Aust.) and the Cross.
PONDER point: history could have been wildly different! Just imagine if the hemispheres were reversed and that every night all those movers, shakers and builders of civilization -especialy the Hebrews, Romans, Brits, Spanish, Bolsheviks, Islamists, and 20th Century Secular Humanists in their Paris Cafes- could see the Cross gleaming in the sky with the mark of the roman's spear too.
If you mean this thing, that's a "P-38".
Outlawed on planes too I suppose.
When the patience of a good and patient people runs out, better watch it. Good to have the Aussies on board, as always. I suspect there are a number of Kiwis outside their sorry government who think the same.
Amen. If these idiots only knew. Their mullahs get up and howl about American 'oppression' of Muslims, well hell's bells, you think you've seen oppression yet? Wait till we show you some REAL oppression. We can do things to you ragheads that the Roman Empire couldn't even dream of.
The leftist parasites in the West and the blood soaked despots in the UN are going to accuse us of imperialist genocide no matter what we do. I say we should make the most of of it.

Same here mate. Our lefties just don't get it...we're angry and we'll show them that in November.
The right think it is because we are appeasing the leftists and moving Almighty God out of the living room and up to the attic.
This is Alan Keyes' take on the cultural war from 2000:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights."That is a statement about rights. It is a statement about equality. But beyond any statement about human claims and human justice, it is an acknowledgement of the first and fundamental truth of all human hope, and all human justice - that our dignity and our rights and our hope come not by our strength, but by the will of our Creator, God. You do, of course, understand that whenever I say that, even though I think I was pretty clear, just now, what I was saying and where it came from, the national media always like to try to pretend that that's Preacher Keyes imposing his religion on other people. No, it's not.
It is very true that what I just said is in deep harmony with the fundamental truth of that faith which we see in the life of our Lord, that acknowledgment of the sovereignty of the Father God. But it is also the American creed. It is the principle which defines our rights and life as a people. Drawn by that document which providentially, I believe, was drawn up to be the foundation of principle for our entire way of life. The basis of our claim to rights and dignity. The basis of our claim to be part of the process of government in our society. For it is on the ground of that grant of rights and dignity from God that we claim that all government must be based upon consent, that there must be elections to decide our leaders, and due process to decide our courts.
That we can claim to be respected, however voiceless, however helpless, however rich or poor, whatever our station or condition, we can stand before any power on this earth - including the awesome power of government, and claim to be respected in our rights and dignity as human beings. It is that principle which gives us this claim, and that principle rests ultimately on our acknowledgment of the existence and authority of our God.
This is the truth.
It also implies, of course, that if we turn our back on God, then we have lost our claim. If you claim your rights by virtue of the authority of God, what happens if you deny the existence and authority of God? It's like a house that stands on a certain foundation - knock away the foundation and what happens to the house? It collapses.

I really like your style though, and am glad the US is considered a friend. We, too, have a silent majority that doesn't bother with all the blustering and political posturing, but our rage burns hotter than the fires of hell.
WE WILL NEVER FORGET!
Kevin Branagh's delivery of these lines is perhaps the finest ever. We share your anger and your sorrow. As we should not spare the Islamic culture responsible for producing these monsters, we should hold the liars and haters on the Left in the same regard. There will come a Day, and we are prepared for it...
