The NeoCons have simply copied the liberals Tactics to get their dreamed of Utopia, which is only better in that they limit it to the 50 STates and the Territories. They want America to be for Americans. They want Mexica Culture, FLags, and symbols not to be displayed, and for the Immigrants ot be Proud of America or to get out! They want English as the Official Language and for everyone to Embrace what our FOundign Fathers gave us! Nevermidn that mostof what they beleiv ein, like Term Limits for COngress, were never part of the oriigonal intent of the FOudners either, nor did the FOunders understand America as a Unicultural place, they have an ideal of America hase don the Rockwellesque picture they have of the Midwestern Vlaues of COmmon, workign AMericans.<br /><br />As a Result, places like Louisiana are attacked because, while the Cajuns are American Born, they don't "Accept American Culture and Values". Many speak French or a French Dialect. They have Parishes not COuntues. There laws are base don Roman Law. The Creole Culture is so different form the Whitebread typical Midwestern Culture that gosh, its not American! So they want to make it go away as bad as the Liberals do.<br /><br />And for the same reaons. This is really the result of the Democratic thinking. Democracy only really works when everyone has common Values and shared references. Thats why Repubics only seem to be stable in small, Relatively Hmogenous Natiosn like Sweden (Officially a Monarhcy) or Switzerland ( A Democracy). Thats why France has few current Social Problems. Thats why Immigration is a magor problem for Modern Europeans, as it erodes that Homogeny. (But does quicky erode their Culture too, hence why Liberals love it.)<br /><br />Besides, they feel more empowered to demand that other peopel comply to their will and wishes. The Democratic Midnset is one that gells us to obey the Majrity, and as the Percieved Majority of Americans have "American" Culture and "American " Values ( Really is California the same as Tennessee? ) They want rid of those French speakign wierdos with there oddball Traits. They shoudl have abandioned that a long time ago!<br /><br />Sadly this is also the thinkign elswhere. The whole thing is based on creatign a balanced society in which ther eis an overarchign Value system, because otherwise there are challenges to the assumptions.ZAROVEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17668854596329493360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-35954541272662945822010-07-29T02:40:23.882-05:002010-07-29T02:40:23.882-05:00Many older peopel in Australia actually rmember wh...Many older peopel in Australia actually rmember when Australians proudly called themselves British. So do Canadians. But then, nowadays even the British seem to hate being called British, all in the name of Multicultural Diversity of course.<br /><br />I wasn't going to post in this particular entry but I think we hit on somethign here. This is mroe about creatign the much hyped Utopian world of a Liberal Secular Democracy with shared Global Values, derived of course form Humanist Philosophy, than i is anythign else.<br /><br /><br />Bu to accomplish this you have to shatter past identities. How can I get you to be a good Globalist who is a Citesen of the World if you identify withthe British Empire? Or if your Spanish? Or French? As the Goal is to make the owrld fall under a single Culture and generlaly a single governance, Independant Cultural Identities must be eroded.<br /><br />Of coruse one may ask why not leave the Old Empires in Tact if they want a Global Unity? As Contradictory as this seems, cutting the world into smaller parts and vidivign huge EMpires is a faster way to acheive their goal, as this weakens the odler, existign Taditional Culture. They want to Erode anythign that holds you bakc from Embracign the new Iddntity they need you to Emrbace, be it your Religion, Your Family and Heritage, or your Nation and its Heritage. Australia can no longer think ogf itself as British because, despite the Obvuosu Fac that Ausatralian Culture is an organic continuation fo British Culture which is even adopted by Immigrants, if Australians thogth of themselves as British, or even as a Culture derivced from britain, they will assume that sort of an Identity and not the Identity of the GLobalist Culture.<br /><br />Its been a rather obvious attemto to erode Traditional Cultures, FOster worldwide Revolution (Nowadays mainlythrouygh Civil CHanges than Armed Confict) and to repudiat eour past, or better yet make us forget it, and then, they can step in and tell us what it means ot be Australian, or American, or French.<br /><br />And its surprisingly similar, beign French and beign Spanish. Or beign French and beign American. Or beign Chinese and beign British. Becuase they too have ast aside the ld and EMbraced the New, whih is good because, as bad as a Shared Identity is when its Traditional, its good when its "The Brotherhood of man". And as the new Philosophy is set befgore us as common sence, well w'd be fools nto to go for it, it sinevitable, and that the truly Evovlked poerson always goes for.ZAROVEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17668854596329493360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-39816079806681748752010-07-29T01:56:30.732-05:002010-07-29T01:56:30.732-05:00I am reminded at this point of Tom Lehrer's In...I am reminded at this point of Tom Lehrer's <i>In Old Mexico</i>. Perhaps we should remember what he says about his dog Rover being run over (Rover was killed by a Pontiac, and it was done with such grace and artistry that the witnesses awarded the driver both ears and the tail!).<br /><br />And when the Matador raised his sword and slayed the bull, he suddenly knew... that someone had stolen his wallet.<br /><br />Sorry, I just had to bring that up.<br /><br />Considering that we are talking about Catalonia here, in which nationalist groups were basically using a bullfighting ban to mark their autonomy from Madrid, it is no surprise. I hear it all the time out here - that we need to be Australian, not American/British (funny that they'll never say "not Chinese". All things considered, I'd have a problem if we took after China too much).<br /><br />There is national identity, and then there is simply spiteful identity. This would fall under the latter (Australian republicanism too).Professor Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00659779116600213901noreply@blogger.com
