Australia Is What Democrats Wish We Could Become

When you think of places like Australia, you think they’re just like us – they speak English and love freedom. Well, they do speak English, that much is true, but do they really love freedom like we do? Considering Democrats have control of government, it makes me wonder if we really love freedom all that much. Putting that aside, the way governments all across Australia are conducting themselves during this pandemic should make everyone realize that the similarities may well just end at language. More importantly to us, what is happening in Australia is what Democrats would love to do here, so it’s important to keep an eye on.

Considering they gave up all their guns without a fight, it seems they love being ruled more than freedom.

A look at 1930's Germany, and our possible future. I mourn for the Aussies who were once a free people. NEVER give up your guns. In fact, buy more.

# 1 hits the nail on the head. The only thing keeping us from ending up like Australia or any communist country are the guns. Millions have them. And like Hitler knew not to try to take Switzerland because every citizen there had a gun, so far our guns have kept us mostly safe. I sure hope it never comes to a big fight, tho.

I used to think I wanted to visit Australia. I even have had an Australian "pen pal" on the web, and via mail for a few years. But the more I learned, the less interested I was in going. Once again. The Australians did NOT 'give up all their guns'. This is a media fiction. They gave up semi-auto rifles and shotguns. Lever action and bolt action rifles, and single and double barrel shotguns are still legal to own. Handguns have always been difficult, requiring membership in a shooting club and proof of handgun competition. No guns can be carried for self defense, ever. All guns are registered, very different than here. But they didn't "give up all their guns" as is the often repeated misinformation says.

#7, Clearly, they gave up enough of their guns. What they didn’t understand is when you give up any means of resistance against an oppressive government, you surrender your freedom. Tyranny then is assured. Even if it is couched in the narrative of it’s for your own good. Cling to the Second Amendment. It really is all that stands between a citizen and a lawless government.

I understand in Australia now you can be arrested for lifting your mask to take a drink. Their summer season is coming up and it can get brutally hot there. I wonder if that may be the straw that breaks the camel's back? I work with some people who, if allowed. would shut all of us up tighter than solitary confinement. They are totalitarians at heart.

Well glory be, #7. The man says its OK to still own single-shots and levers. How magnanimous of the government to tell 'free' men what they can own. We can parse the meaning of 'all' forever. The point is that they gave up without a fight. But for the sake of argument, I will say 'most'. This time.

I live right smack dab in the middle of the Sydney suburbs? Yesterday I went over to a friends house about 8 kms away and took his dog to the vet for him (he’s 86). The vet’s office was about 10 kms away. Then I went to the local shopping centre and picked up something that I had ordered, I then went to 2 supermarkets and did my shopping. I then went home and in the afternoon I drove my sister to an in person doctor’s appointment about 15 kms away. I wore a mask whenever I went inside but nobody stopped me or asked where I was going, in fact I didn’t see one police or military person the whole day. So the moral of the story is “don’t believe everything you read”.

Total control over everything - life, death, the food you eat, the jobs you work, and an allowance they will give you to spend. Cradle to post grave control is a Democrat's wet dream.

RE #11. I TOTALLY agree with your sentiment about the oppressive government, but words have meaning and we need to stick to the facts. Unfortunately, I think it doesn't make any difference in Australia whether they have some guns or not, there are very, very few folks there who have any will to do anything but go along to the shearing like the sheep that they used to grow so many of. More a matter of will than tools, I think. And understand that they don't even really grasp the concept of armed self defense as any sort of a legal right, because it isn't and they go along with that. It has not been a right there for a very long time, and they just don't even grasp it. I discussed the concept of self defense with a hunter and shooter in NZ a few years back and he was clearly appalled at the concept of going around armed and being read and able to defend against a violent attack. His view was that you just call the police, it's their job and you have no right or business imagining that you can or should defend yourself. NZ and Australia are much alike in that, it seems. Crocodile Dundee was a fiction. The real man who it was roughly fashioned after tried to keep to himself and live free in the outback and not buckle under to the authorities, but eventually was shot down by 'the authorities'. Nobody there seemed to be too bothered by that. He was "a troublemaker", seemed to be the general view. Didn't follow all the laws.

A Colorado Springs father’s speech against critical race theory at a school district’s board meeting is taking the internet by storm. The black man was clear that America is not a racist nation and that racism would “by and large be dead” if not for liberal institutions “keeping it on life support.” Turns out, his opinion appears to have helped persuade the board to vote to ban CRT. “I am a direct descendant of the North American slave trade.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Thursday that he had spoken with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton earlier in the week as Afghanistan fell back into Taliban hands amid an ill-planned pull-out of American military and diplomatic personnel. Meanwhile, White House officials confirmed on Thursday as well that as events were unfolding in the southwest Asian nation where U.S. and NATO forces have been deployed for 20 years, President Joe Biden did not take any calls from nor did he contact key world leaders who grew increasingly concerned as the situation worsened and Taliban fighters erected a perimeter around Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul.

With the Biden administration refusing to commit to rescuing all U.S. citizens from Afghanistan, at least two other nations — Qatar and the United Kingdom — have reportedly taken up the challenging but doable task themselves. This stunning finding was revealed by retired Marine and former Trump-era Deputy National Advisor Matt Pottinger during an appearance Wednesday on Fox Business Network’s “Kudlow.” According to Pottinger, the Qataris have for their part been using their “lines of communication to the Taliban” to arrange transportation for Americans. “They have in some cases — at the risk of the lives of their own diplomats — have been arranging for Americans and students, journalists,

There has been no end of commentary dealing with Donald Trump’s turbulent presidency and the scandal of his electoral loss. There’s no doubt that from the day of the “grand escalator ride” (and even before) to the day of his departure from the White House, a social, media, and political upheaval was in progress, and would not cease even when he once again became a private citizen. Reasons pro and con for the debacle have proliferated since Hurricane Trump made landfall in America, but the issues are basically very simple and can be stated economically. There were essentially three called strikes against him, all that was needed to count him out.

This week, Jews all around the world will read a portion of Deuteronomy that calls to remember an incident that occurred over 3,000 years ago. It involved a belligerent enemy whose name would have been erased from history were it not preserved in the Bible, the Jewish People's foundation text. I am referring to Deuteronomy 25:17-19. Throughout our long history as a people, we Jews have looked at those three verses as a paradigm for our relationship with history: we don't forget our history — we embrace it. We Jews accept the concept of history so fully that we actually sacralize it — we make our history sacred.

Researchers have used brain cancer patients’ own cells in a form of 3D printing material to make a model of their tumor to test the efficacy of potential treatments before using them for real inside the body. The scientists extract “a chunk” of the tumor from the brain of a patient with glioblastoma – an aggressive cancer with a very poor prognosis – and use it to print a model matching their MRI scans, said Professor Ronit Satchi-Fainaro, who led the research at Tel Aviv University. The patient’s blood is then pumped through the printed tumor, made with a compound that mimics the brain,

The first post argues that Biden’s chat with George Stephanopoulos was filled with enough contradictions and awkward stammering that, paired with his low visibility lately, we might reasonably conclude that his health has become an issue.

During the presidential campaign, the Biden administration introduced a new word into the lexicon: a “lid.” His campaign has called a lid countless times without explanation, meaning it was cutting off all media appearances for that day. Joe Biden went on vacation to Camp David just before Afghanistan fell to the Taliban and gave no public remarks on the matter until more than 24 hours after the fall of Kabul. That was a speech Biden delivered from the White House Monday, after which he took no questions from the media. He went silent again, then delivered another speech on Wednesday, this time on COVID. He took no media questions

In the wake of the Afghanistan debacle, demands have arisen in Congress for President Biden to resign or to be removed via the 25th Amendment. Elements of the formerly pro-Biden media have joined in the condemnation. Many silent Democrat office holders likely want Biden out, as they fear the systemic incompetence of his administration will bring them down come 2022. But Joe can not resign or be fired. The Democrat high command will not let either happen (snip) As soon as Kamala Harris takes the presidential oath, the vice-presidency is left vacant.
