They have always used panic to get what they want. Look at the "war on terror." They played into the fear of Americans in order to get a war to make themselves richer, and it worked. In relation to gays, again they play on the fear of the unknown in order to get what they want. What is it they want? The destruction of separation of church and state for starters. And it was and still is the same with the African American population. They claim the ni***rs (I hate that word with a passion) will rape your wives and children (sounds a lot like the queers will recruit your children to me.) And it is exactly the same with Middle Easterners now. If we don't get them first, they will get us. Now look what we have... If you are form the ME or of Muslim faith, then listening to the wrong wing, they are our enemy. That line of thought is what lead to the riots we saw at Cronulla last December.

Those riots are something that angered a lot of Australians. But didn't surprise many of us. I saw it coming and used to tell my mum a lot that Howard will lead us to battles in our streets. And those battles will be between people from the ME, or of Muslim faith, and the white, yobbo Aussie male. How right was I?

And it pisses me off to no end (as it does you) that so many on DU still wear blinders.
