The Native Iowan

Golly, 2nd day of the 9th month. Skies are powder blue. Air is still. I can feel the seasons changing.

In the USofA, this weekend is the Memorial Day holiday. Traditionally the last holiday of summer. Memorial Day marks the last big party before the winter winds return. The end of summer, the start of fall… Halloween and Thanksgiving are the next things to look forward to, in the USofA.

Here in the land of Aus, as the season changes from nice but chilly – to nice but warm… We would normally be preparing for the “wet season”. But…. BUTTT… since we have not seen a “dry season” for a couple years, I shall content my self to prepare for the coming “wetter season”.

And reports predict “wetter than normal” weather patterns coming.

I blame it all on GlowBall warming…

But on what do we blame the insane double standards we see in the recent, large protests here in Aus?

An Aussie, marching in support of your homeland, is a bigot, a racist, a white supremacist.

An Immigrant, marching in support of a terrorist regime, is a martyr, a saint, a good guy.

The media portrays the recent Sydney Harbour Bridge “Pro-Palestine” march as a glorious party, including families, small children, dogs and old folks… https://bbc.com/news/articles/clydnvw1dg5o

This past week a “Pro- Australia” march took place, and was generally portrayed as some kind of white supremacy gathering… https://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/fact-checkers-assess-march-for-australia-immigration-claims/8yorv67wp

You can profess solidarity with the folks holding hostages, wrap a checkered scarf over your face, pretend you are Yasser Arafat. Carry the Palestine flag, chant slogans, demand sharia law, and promise jihad, and be thought a thoughtful, sensitive valuable human.

But…. BUTTT… Carry an Australian flag, call for less immigration, lower house prices, less violence in the streets, better schools and… well hell! I guess being patriotic aint cool any more.

There is much to be said about the modern world and the shift from wanting, demanding safety, security, education, medical care and the ability to grow, build, and develop the society in a positive vein – To a retrograde development to a tradition time where women have no rights, children are chattel, and violence is a legitimate response to difficult times.

I saw this and thought it poignant… https://michiganadvance.com/2023/06/14/hamtramck-city-council-bans-pride-flag-from-city-property/#:~:text=The%20all%2DMuslim%20Hamtramck%20City,city%20chose%20bigotry%20over%20inclusivity.

In this situation, after the loony liberal left back the conservative muslims, thinking we’re all fine and friends and diversity is our strength… the conservatives kick the liberals where their testicles once were.

What did they expect?

What does the world expect?

Expect from a group that proclaims death to the Western world, Western values, Western religion.

For my money, I say listen to the words. I dont think either side is lying.

And the beat goes on…
