Howard names his three towering heroes The Age 4-10-2006
The cultural cringe is not dead!
Howard has demonstrated it, ignoring Aussie heroes like Weary Dunlop, to get on his knees and worship foreign neo-cons.. the man is an arse licker to the extreme right;
"PRIME Minister John Howard has named Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher and Pope John Paul II as the "three towering figures" of the late 20th century."
The geriatric retard responsible for Star Wars, and the heartless unpleasant woman who turned the UK into a haven for spivs and speculators, and declared 'there is no such thing as society, merely an economy! B^p
"He said their moral clarity .."
Reagan's support for Iran Contra, the sale of sugar for weapons to arm terrorism, shows his 'moral clarity'?
Howard really ought to ease of the taxpayer funded cellar at Kirribilli house.
" the Prime Minister last night lauded those who resisted the stultifying orthodoxies and dangerous utopias" of Western intelligentsia."
He admires Phil Ruddock for approving torture and resisting the stultifying and dangerous utopias such as a fair trial and Human Rights, including our traditional Aussie values of not putting kids in gulags, or attaching electrodes to their genitals.
"Seeing a sinister threat in the left activism of the 1950s in Australia, Mr Howard said it was anything but an innocent ideological gambol."
B^D Communism was strong in Europe, but in Australia and the USSA the threat to freedom came from the McCarthy fascists!
"There is a view that the pro-communist left in Australia in decades past was no more than a bunch of naive idealists"
True, and they left the CPA in droves after Hungary, 1956.
So here's Howard, in 2006, praising the Pope, who condemned totalitarian Bolshevism AND Howard's unrestrained materialism, while the entire success of his government comes from a minerals boom driven by the Chinese economic boom. Instead of opposing communism, Howard wants to deal with it, just like he dealt with Saddam Hussein!
And now he wants to pretend it's 'the Left' who have done what he has done and is still doing, getting into bed with any tyrant who will pay for a quick blow job!
So he offers a revisionist history pretending bribes to Saddam shows he's a far sighted genius...
"rather than what they were Ñ ideological barrackers for regimes of oppression opposed to Australia and its interests," he said.
"But publications such as Quadrant, which was set up with funding from the CIA, countered such views in "a noble and moral cause"."
The same CIA that, under Howard's Hero, Ronald Raygun, used American government planes to ferry sugar, to make money to by arms to support terrorism! B^p
"the person who probably end more Muslims in history was Saddam Hussein." .. supported by bribes from Howard's AWB!
