Why We Really Should Hate Not the Greens, but Green Ideology By Paul Walker
It is no doubt un-Christian to hate people, but what about ideologies? Like communism? Or, Greenism? Sure, hate away, I cannot see anything morally wrong in hating evil doctrines, as doctrines, unlike people cannot be “saved” or have souls. It seems to me that so many anti-life/tradition things come from the Left, and the Greens across the West are just one version of this, because, not the people, but the doctrines, tend to intrinsically corrupt. We can see this with the US abortion debate where Leftists are engaging in urban terrorism, and not being condemned by the president, and indeed encouraged in some ways by some members of the US Senate, all for an ideology. In Australia there are much less radical examples, with the US aspects of violence and neo-Marxist revolution fortunately missing, but these still fit in with a general Leftist philosophy of denigrating and deconstructing tradition, and wanting the Great Cultural Replacement. They see this as “progressive,” but never confront the basic foundational questions.
“A Liberal MP and former Army soldier has blasted Greens leader Adam Bandt for refusing to stand alongside the Australian flag.
Phil Thompson, who survived a bomb exploding a metre in front of him in Afghanistan, described the Greens leader as a 'national disgrace'.
He said his wife Jenna, who is Aboriginal, was 'disgusted' after Mr Bandt's staff removed the flag from behind their leader before a press conference in Sydney on Monday.
Mr Thompson, shadow assistant defence minister and MP for Herbert in north Queensland, wrote on Twitter: 'My wife is a proud Aboriginal woman & disgusted by the leader of the Green's media stunt and his rhetoric of division.
'I take the importance of the ANF very seriously I fought underneath it my brothers who were Killed In Action have had our flag draped over their coffin.'
Speaking later to Sky News, he accused Mr Bandt of trying to 'divide the nation.'
'We must always recognise and acknowledge the past but the way we move forward as a nation is to walk together,' he said.
A member of Mr Bandt's staff was seen removing the flag from the behind the podium before the presser at the Commonwealth Parliamentary Offices in Sydney on Monday.
The move meant that only the Aboriginal flag and Torres Strait Island flag could be seen behind him as he spoke to the cameras.
Mr Bandt told Daily Mail Australia the nation's flag reminds some people of Australia's colonisation.
The flag, first flown after federation in 1901, has the Union Jack in the upper left corner to acknowledge the history of British settlement.
'For many Australians, this flag represents dispossession and the lingering pains of colonisation,' Mr Bandt said.
'Through Treaty with First Nations' Peoples and by moving to a Republic, we can have a flag that represents all of us.'
A review of Mr Bandt's previous TV interviews shows he always has the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander flags in the background, but never the nation's flag.
Mr Bandt added later that the Union Jack symbol is hurtful to Indigenous Australians.”
In reply, there is probably no symbol no thought to be harmful to at least someone. And what about indigenous Australians who love the Union Jack?
