So, now after being told that "Happy Christmas", carols over PAs in shops, nativity plays at schools, Easter eggs ("Holiday Eggs" just don't sound quite the same do they?) and even occasionally, Anzac Day are offensive, we are now in danger of being labelled a racist if we fly our flag. The thing is - I don't believe that the majority of these ethnic minorities who are supposed to be offended are the ones actually doing the complaining. I don't believe that our Muslims, Jews, Buddhists etc have any problem with our Christmas and many, many of those waving the Australian flag tomorrow will not have been born here but are proud to be "new" Aussies (or Aussies in waiting perhaps).
We appear to have a whole battery of politically correct egomaniacs and academics whose sole purpose in life seems to be to foster dissension, insecurity, distrust and hatred by insinuating that these "people" are offended or racially vilified. They surely have to have at least some vestige of intelligence to know the results of their pronouncements on the ordinary Aussies. One has to ask if they have a hidden agenda or are they keeping the agitation going to justify their own pathetic existences?
I know who I consider to be the greatest racists in this country - and they have a lot to answer for!
Happy Australia Day
