Response to: Fred Nile's latest outrage shows why his time should be up

If there ever was a bigoted view, then, you could be assured that the Rev would have said something aligned with it.

How come he gets votes, you ask!!!

The truth is that whilst there may be many a leftie intellectual despising his views, the majority of the dumb-Aussie-voters have the same bigoted views (sexist, racist, homophobic). His archaic views are greatly shared by the voters – hence the votes.

Let me delve, if I dare, into the mind of the holy rev and suggest appropriate awards:

• Let's give the guy who died the "Manly-but not-that-manly-cos-he-is-gay" award, forget the lady who died - a woman cannot be manly (or brave for that matter).
• Let's label the guys who ran as "cowards" and the women who ran, oh! well - who cares, they are just women and expected to be cowards.
• The men who stayed get "not-that-manly-but-not-cowards" awards and the women who stayed - ummmm they get the "stay-put-be-pretty-and-get-rescued-by-the-heroic-men" award but what were they doing there anyway, away from their kitchens?.
• As for the two Asian chics, whilst they may have been in the kitchen they shouldn't have even been in the country!!! – Deportation or maybe detention and Nauru.

Bravery awards themselves are simply out-dated. They are from a bygone era when we glorified war-mongers. We needed to, to ensure we had sufficient canon fodder (remember the Gurkha) for our many empire building expeditions. Glorifying the military is in our DNA. It sure provides future Governor General material. In most of the wars we fight, the real heroes are in the opposition as we only fight third world countries who have few weapons (although we like to paint a picture of them as dangerous monsters with military capabilities) and beat 'em up to pulp.

To the Fairfax censors, if you support the satirical nature of Charlie Hebdo, then you will appreciate this comment - but I trust that would be asking too much of Aussie journalism.
