Or English we speak it here So are you happy to just throw the door open and let everyone in? Be careful, if you say no you'll be called a racist. The same people who say fuck off we're are the same idiots who complain they can't get jobs. Ask them will they work in a dead end job and most say no , I deserve something better . I'm all for being proud but don't use it to slander. Those same people complain people don't want to learn English but at the same time they can't be arsed to learn another language if overseas . You didn't answer my question, don't want to called a racist ay ? :d

Very rarely agree with Bolt - and the fact that I do on this issue almost makes me want to re-appraise how I feel about these singlets.
For me - IF YOU DON'T LOVE IT, LEAVE, is a perfectly valid statement and isn't racist. It doesn't target anyone, in fact it could be argued that it's welcoming to anyone who does love Australia irrespective of race, religion or nationality.
Slogons like "F*CK OFF, WE'RE FULL", regularly seen on ute bumpers around this fine nation, are clearly the opposite.

-PB Went back to England in 2006, George Cross flags hanging everywhere during the world cup - patriotism on a high. All good. First time I'd seen such open patriotism since I was a kid... By 2010 people were being advised not to fly the George Cross lest it offend more recent arrivals to the country who could be offended due to the association between the cross and the Crusades ... F*ck off. Nothing wrong with loving your country, so long as you don't hate others.

I agree, the only problem is that statement is associated with racism, though is not racist itself. I don't care if you love it or not, but if you're here and pay taxes, contribute to society etc that's good enough for me.

Some of them, probably not the majority.

LOL Andrew Bolt trying to defend Aussie patriotism :lol: .
This is the same bloke that despite being born in Australia, fled as a 18 year old to his parents' homeland of Holland vowing never to come back because he hated Australia and our culture because it was inferior :-({|= .
The bloke is the biggest fraud and hypocrite out there. However, by being "the most controversial columnist" and being a political attack dog for the Libs, it keeps in him a high profile job at News Ltd and brings home for him the $$$$$.

He use to work for Labor in the 1980s. As I said he's a fraud. He realised he could earn a quid in the media by being a deliberately controversial far-right shock-jock.

I wonder at what point between now and then his conscience was brutally murdered.
