I ask this because I see it a lot here. Especially when the Conservatives here completely ignore the facts.
Hi Fred

OMG, It's another comical thread. Can we not be serious for a brief moment. Pleeeeeeease
Is a modern liberal insecure? YES you are. You let your government keep you down... low income, maybe jobless, can you fill your aspirations? You don't have the pick of the crop for excelling either, or do you? Your health care is below any American stand and that includes any pulper that steps off the street that walks inside a hospital. Hey, the modern American conservatives and even the liberals on FF aren't sucking the blood from our government like ticks. What about you Miss Aussie?
State your point without attacking the opposition. Hey, if you attempt to insult, you can expect the same. And that I give you... with pleasure.
"Rejecting people higher than themselves"? You tell me. I suspect you are low on the totem pole where you are. Why do you reject our views and opinions? Are you not doing exactly what you are suggesting about us? Look at your opening post..... It reeks of narcissism. * Tip for you: If you look up Narcissism, you'll find out that the roots are embedded in insecurity.... Again, You brought it up. You defined yourself, darling.
Conservatives on FF "completely ignore the facts"? 
Now miss
Fran Fran.... who's fact would that be? Yours.
Who is the one that holds the absolute truth? YOU? Oh my. Or would it be your balanced and open Australian media?

Travel my dear. Explore the western world outside your backyard. Open those closed eyes.
Fran, if you want to see Narcissism, look in your own mirror. Again, it would help if you had a balanced information source. You don't. You are living the projected fear of Anti-Americanism. Your media is on overload with it. Truth is.... Australia need the USA. The way you guys whine like babies on FF, it would be fitting if England would donate ya'll to China. What does OZ actually contribute anyway?
Note * There is a good chance that I will get to work in Sydney for 3 nights in December. If I can negotiate everything to everyone's liking, I will see for myself what you see, read and hear. From what my Australian business colleagues have told me, it is you that should demand more than you are getting. You don't have to settle for the government tit that you are so accustomed too. Clean your own dirty house and leave ours alone.
*note to boingo - the world is your oyster. Claim your pearl.

Um, so I'm confused. You seem to agree with the “modern liberal.”
Rejecting people higher than themselves"? You tell me. I suspect you are low on the totem pole where you are.
Is that important to you?
Conservatives on FF "completely ignore the facts"? Now miss Fran Fran.... who's fact would that be? Yours. Who is the one that holds the absolute truth? YOU? Oh my.

C’mon zia, you know what has been said. Facts? Iraq never had anything to do with 9/11. Iraq never sought yellow cake from Niger. Iraq had no WMDs. Iraq had nothing to do with al Qaeda. Iraqi agents never met with al Qaeda in Austria. The only fact that I see is that Neocon Republicans want to kill Muslims…no matter who they are. Right, Fred? I mean, that’s your dedication, isn’t it?
Why are you stating things that have nothing to do with the topic at hand?

Um, are we talking about Fox News?
We don't get Fox News in Australia unless we subscribe to Fox network's "Foxtel" satellite pay TV. Our Australian free-to-air commercial stations' tv news is
very bias and thrives on sensationalism through misrepresented truths and even plain lies at times. I've caught them out many times. Our printed media is much the same.

She is living in the fear that the US will turn anti-American. Who wiretaps it’s own citizens, tortures prisoners, kidnaps its own citizens and denies the Fourth Amendment, the Fifth Amendment, the Sixth Amendment, the Eighth Amendment and the right to habeas corpus. You could go all the way back to Josef Stalin and not find a more appropriate candidate than GWB.
For the record,
ASIO (Australia's Security Intelligence Organisation) has the right to tap our phones in Australia and they do. They also have the right to search and seize anything in a suspected terrorist's house, including the occupants, without warning, and this
does happen too, so we (Australians) have no reason to dislike America for having the same thing. It's part of the modern world. Don't blame the governments or the innocent people for that, blame the terrorists.

Zia! Were you drunk when you posted this? Australia was our partner and helped us win WWII in the PacificConflict. The Brits didn’t care; they never showed up. It was us and the ozzies. Jesus Christ. Show some respect, girl.
Firstly, how about showing Zia some respect by not accusing her of being drunk!!!
Like it or not, Australia does need the US!
We have several US military bases here, not just to help them out, but as a trade-off for their protection. Australia's a huge country and we simply do not have enough people in the military to protect our own country.
The US satellite tracking station is to help with an international network of such stations. Without such bases we could be screwed. By population numbers we are a very small nation. We only have 21,394,206 people. The US has 304,884,074. Australia can't afford spend as much on things, such as defense, which is where we are indebted to the US.
