I used to like Australia. I had some pen pals from there when I was a teen. As for the Aussies who hate the USA: kiss my ass, you losers.

From Little Green Footballs:
-------------------------------
Australia’s Sunday Times has a report on US exchange students being harassed by moonbat America-haters at Australian universities: Students quit over anti-US slurs. (Hat tip: LGF readers.)
  • One university has launched an investigation into claims an American student returned to the US after suffering six months of abuse at a residential college in Brisbane. American students have told The Sunday Mail the verbal attacks are unbearable and threatening to escalate into physical violence.

    Griffith University student Ian Wanner, 19, from Oregon, said abusive Australian students had repeatedly called him a “sepo” – short for septic tank. “It is so disrespectful. It’s not exactly the most welcoming atmosphere here,” he said.

    The Queensland Anti-Discrimination Commission has described the abuse as “horrible” and says it could be classed as racial vilification. The abuse problem is so prevalent that US students are being given formal briefings before leaving home on how to cope with abusive Australians.

    Mr Wanner said even female Australian students were verbally abusive. He warned the problem could “escalate into a very large brawl”.

    “There has already been confrontations between people,” he said.

    A female American student from Griffith, who wished to remain unnamed, said she had met some “exceptional” people in Australia – but was leaving this month in shock over her treatment. She said she was desperate to go home after the slurs, which also spilled over at pubs in central Brisbane.

    “They basically picked on me,” she said. “At first, I thought it was a joke. Then I just had it out with them and told them I came here to be treated respectfully. I have had a few incidents in bars. I had a guy and he heard my accent and he said: ‘I hate your president. I hate your country.’ ”

    Another Griffith student has already returned to the US after enduring six months of abuse at the university’s residential college in Brisbane.

    All the students received counselling before arriving and were warned of the backlash against the US. They said they were advised not to carry any items that would identify their nationality.
This is another similarity between Australia and the US; the universities are hotbeds of far left hatred.

All the result of billionaire Soros' war against the U.S.

He couldn't topple Bush, so he spent millions to spread anti-American hatred globally, knowing that any kind of scapegoatism is willingly sucked up by the young and the ignorant.

If he could topple the U.S. as an economical entity, he stands to gain billions. He's been banking off his attacks on the economies of various countries over decades.

He's pushing 80- and I hope that vile old pile of pig sh!t dies soon. It's time.

I've had it up the butt with American - haters.

Didn't Soros pour a ton of money into Moveon.org?

Oh, a big honking disclaimer: I don't hate all Aussies - just the ones who hate Americans. I mention this because someone sent me a private message asking me about this - I didn't even know this person who was asking was an Aussie.

My nation may not be perfect, but by god, we are not the "bad guys." I'm an old-school patriot - I love the flag and all that, and I don't make apologies for it to anyone.

He did pour a ton of money into moveon and a lot of other anti-American institutes. He has a personal grudge against Bush- because a long time ago he tried to buy Bush, and could not. He's never gotten over it. He would, if he could accomplish his other goal of toppling the U.S. economy, which he tries to do by burdening the U.S. with other problems. He has funded concerns which include euthanasia (murder), atheism, illegal drugs, socialism,and terrorism.

He especially preys on women as his target supporters, because of their concerns about abortion.

He could care less about women, to him they are nothing more than dupes.

he needs to be feeding the maggots.

I'm not the smartest person in the world or anything, but I am sick to death of all these Europeans insulting everything American. As if their countries and leaders were any better. They aren't. They need to get over it. Half of these morons haven't even BEEN to the US, so as if they'd know if this country were truly horrible or not! They don't know every American, and they don't know anything about what is going on in this country. Half of the time they simply don't know what they are talking about.

This isn't bashing Bush, but not everyone in this country voted for him. Telling some person with an American accent that they hate this country and they hate the president is absolutely absurd. Not everyone in this country thinks the same way.

Good point. I was thinking the same thing, but wasn't sure how to put it. I've been hearing for a while now that there's alot of contempt for Americans, especially in Europe. I think they don't realize how divided this country is.

While some Americans do not like Bush and did not vote for him (you'd think the Australian students would have realized that an American was behind the making of "Farenheit 9/11"), that still does not excuse the behavior of the Aussie students towards the American students.

Even if an American student were to wear a pro-Bush t-shirt to an Aussie campus, the Aussies would not have a right to harass the person. If the situation were reversed, and I saw someone wearing an "I hate Bush" t-shirt in public, I wouldn't verbally or physically harass the person.

Sounds like at least some of the government officials don't have their heads up their rear ends:

Muslims who want Islamic law told to leave Australia

Excerpt:
  • Tue Aug 23, 2005 8:40 PM ET
    SYDNEY (AFP) - Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law should get out of Australia, a senior government minister has said, hinting that some radical clerics might be asked to leave.

    Australia was a secular state and its laws were made by parliament, Treasurer Peter Costello told national television late Tuesday.

    "If those are not your values, if you want a country which has Sharia law or a theocratic state, then Australia is not for you," said Costello, who is seen as heir-apparent to Prime Minister John Howard.

    "I'd be saying to clerics who are teaching that there are two laws governing people in Australia, one the Australian law and another the Islamic law, that that is false.

    "There's only one law in Australia -- it's the law that's made by the parliament of Australia and enforced by our courts. There is no second law.

    "If you can't agree with parliamentary law, independent courts, democracy, and would prefer Sharia law and have the opportunity to go to another country which practices it, perhaps, then, that's a better option," Costello said.

    Asked whether he meant radical clerics would be forced to leave, he replied: "Where a person has dual citizenship, it might be possible to ask them to exercise that other citizenship. That might be a live possibility."

    In the wake of last month's London bombings by British-born Muslims, Britain is debating new powers which could include closing mosques where clerics are suspected of supporting extremists and deporting those who glorify suicide bombers.

Nearly all my professors are Democrats. Isn't that a problem?
  • By Dan Lawton

    from the July 13, 2009 edition

    Eugene, Ore. - When I began examining the political affiliation of faculty at the University of Oregon, the lone conservative professor I spoke with cautioned that I would "make a lot of people unhappy."

    Though I mostly brushed off his warning – assuming that academia would be interested in such discourse – I was careful to frame my research for a column for the school newspaper diplomatically.

    The University of Oregon (UO), where I study journalism, invested millions annually in a diversity program that explicitly included "political affiliation" as a component. Yet, out of the 111 registered Oregon voters in the departments of journalism, law, political science, economics, and sociology, there were only two registered Republicans.

    A number of conservative students told me they felt Republican ideas were frequently caricatured and rarely presented fairly. Did the dearth of conservative professors on campus and apparent marginalization of ideas on the right belie the university's commitment to providing a marketplace of ideas?

    In my column, published in the campus newspaper The Oregon Daily Emerald June 1, I suggested that such a disparity hurt UO. I argued that the lifeblood of higher education was subjecting students to diverse viewpoints and the university needed to work on attracting more conservative professors.

    I also suggested that students working on right-leaning ideas may have difficulty finding faculty mentors. I couldn't imagine, for instance, that journalism that supported the Iraq war or gun rights would be met with much enthusiasm.

    What I didn't realize is that journalism that examined the dominance of liberal ideas on campus would be addressed with hostility.

    A professor who confronted me declared that he was "personally offended" by my column. He railed that his political viewpoints never affected his teaching and suggested that if I wanted a faculty with Republicans I should have attended a university in the South. "If you like conservatism you can certainly attend the University of Texas and you can walk past the statue of Jefferson Davis everyday on your way to class," he wrote in an e-mail.

    I was shocked by such a comment, which seemed an attempt to link Republicans with racist orthodoxy. When I wrote back expressing my offense, he neither apologized nor clarified his remarks.

    Instead, he reiterated them on the record. Was such a brazen expression of partisanship representative of the faculty as a whole? I decided to speak with him in person in the hope of finding common ground.

    He was eager to chat, and after five minutes our dialogue bloomed into a lively discussion. As we hammered away at the issue, one of his colleagues with whom he shared an office grew visibly agitated. Then, while I was in mid-sentence, she exploded.

    "You think you're so [expletive] cute with your little column," she told me. "I read your piece and all you want is attention. You're just like Bill O'Reilly. You just want to get up on your [expletive] soapbox and have people look at you."

    From the disgust with which she attacked me, you would have thought I had advocated Nazism. She quickly grew so emotional that she had to leave the room. But before she departed, she stood over me and screamed.

    "You understand that my column was basically a prophesy," I shot back. I had suggested right-leaning ideas weren't welcome on campus and in response the faculty had tied my viewpoints to racism and addressed me with profanity-laced insults.

    What's so remarkable is that I hadn't actually advocated Republican ideas or conservative ideas. In fact, I'm not a conservative, nor a Republican. I simply believe in the concept of diversity – a primarily liberal idea – and think that we suffer when we don't include ideas we find unappealing.

    After my article on political diversity was published, I received numerous e-mails from students at other schools who spoke of similar experiences. As a result of my research and personal experience, I can now say without reservation that the lack of ideological diversity on college campuses is a dangerous threat to free and open discourse in academia. Sadly, there are few perfect solutions.

    One proposal considered by universities is endowing a chair of conservative thought to lure a high-profile conservative scholar to campus. However, this has the potential to exacerbate partisan tensions by sanctioning an explicitly ideological position.

    A more draconian option is to enact a political litmus test and mandate that Republicans fill a certain number of positions, but doing so would exclude many qualified professors and be unfairly discriminatory.

    The fact is that political diversity, like many diversity efforts, is something that cannot be created through edict, but only by a concerted effort on the behalf of those in power. While hiring on the basis of party affiliation isn't the answer to reducing political discrimination, denying that political beliefs influence pedagogy is simply naive.

    Faculties in ideological departments should examine the body of work of a candidate to see if it fills a shortcoming. In a department of journalism or political science, a professor with a right-leaning perspective would not only provide a balance in curriculum, but a potential mentor to conservative students who feel isolated in their beliefs. At left-leaning universities, such professors should be aggressively pursued.

    Above all, deans, provosts, and professors must not allow their aversion to conservative ideas to manifest so contemptuously.

    Political disagreement is crucial to vibrant discourse, but not in the form of caricatures, slights, or mockery.

    Students should never come under personal attack from faculty members for straying from the party line. The fact that they do shows how easily political partisanship can corrupt the elements of higher education that should be valued the most.

The number of characters we can fit into subject headings is limited on this board.

I intend for this thread to focus on the liberal (progressive) bias which runs rampant at so many colleges and universities.

Such bias usually leads professors and student groups to discriminate against students or faculty who support intelligent design; who reject Darwinism; or who support Israel.

Further, at many colleges, conservative speakers are either banned from speaking engagements, or when they are permitted, they are shouted down or pelted with objects (Ann Coulter readily comes to mind).

Students who write positively about Jesus or the Bible get failing grades because their professors are agnostics or atheists who are hostile to religion. But I might limit that to the Anti Christian Movements, Laws, Sentiment thread.

(I might also use this threads for such bias which takes place in grade schools, junior highs, and high schools, as well.)
