Title: Australian Sex Party Trumpets Drugs, Dysfunction And Liberal Values
Post by: The Hollywood NeoCon on August 19, 2010, 09:46:56 AM
To borrow a phrase...It's come to this: (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/08/17/australian-sex-party-trum_n_685345.html)

"They see themselves variously as "filling a gap" in Australian politics and "sticking it up" those American-style neo-cons of Australian society.

And while sober discussion of immigration, workers' rights and economic policy has thus far trumped talk of pornography and pole dancing, the misfits of the Australian Sex Party (ASP) are campaigning voraciously across the country in the lead-up to the Aug. 21 general elections."

Hey, Aussies can do what they want with their country, so I have no opinion about this whatsoever. I'm just sayin I've heard great things about the acoustics at the Sydney Opera House.  ::)

...and old hippies are leaving the U.S. at an alarming rate.

If only that were true...it wouldn't alarm me at all.

Oh, how I miss Australia.  Sydney, 1992.  50th anniversary of the Battle of Coral Sea, and I was there on USS Proteus (the only WWII ship still left in commission.)

Guys in their dress whites were getting (quite literally) pulled off the streets by all sorts of hawt Aussie girls.  Some not to be heard from for days.

What "American-style neo-cons" would those be exactly.. Out of the two major political parties and one moderately influential one , we've got centre-left , far-left and way-the-hell-out-there-crazy-left.

I seem to recall there's a "free marijuana" , and a "Fishing and lifestyle" party as well. T

They're irrelevant in the scheme of things.

I certainly hope you didn't take that as an insult, LC, cause I meant no offense whatsoever. I LOVE Aussies. Hell, I even go to Outback every Father's Day! :)
