just one more darling of the 'fearing, oh no what is happening to us!' macho men mob .. i've never heard of him, but that doesn't mean anything, and only dear old rooster maybe, would give any notice to him here .. elsewhere he is described as an Australian conservative cultural warrior .. gawd, he wouldn't last long in the pub up the road .. lol .. anyway, down to 16. ..

16. Learned that while some Australians are annoying in their hatred of America, some take their love for it a bit too far. One of my Facebook friends sent me an invitation to hear an Australian motivational speaker named Nick Adams .. http://nickadamsinamerica.com/bio.html. The Australian thing attracted me a bit. The motivational speaker part did not. I really don't like motivational speakers that much. I think they spout out a lot of crap....most of the time. Or they say stuff that SOUNDS good in theory, but it doesn't work well in practice.
The invitation said the speech was going to deal with American exceptionalism. I never heard of that term, but I had an idea of what it meant. And I was right.
I know people who believe in this stuff. What stuff? The idea that America is SPECIAL....very special. Like Harry Potter special. We are the chosen ones. We are better than every other country out there.
That attitude makes me want to puke, but I refrain from doing so because I have a strong phobia of vomiting.
Just to set the record straight though (because I don't want there to be any misunderstandings), I DO believe that Harry Potter was the chosen one. I'm fine with that belief, and it doesn't make me sick.
Anyway, Nick Adams loves America. Is it like the way I love Australia? I don't think so. I don't believe Australia is the best country in the world. I don't think it's particularly special. It's just my PERSONAL favorite. Just like James loves Sweden .. http://jamesobrien.id.au/tag/sweden-2010/. And I have a friend who loves Mexico. There's a difference between loving something, and believing it's the best/perfect.
17. Read right-wing blog post .. http://www.redcounty.com/content/nick-adams-what-good-america-good-world .. about Nick Adams. John Rogitz likes Nick Adams because Adams blabs on and on about how wonderful America is. Oh, but he doesn't just stop there. He's also bold enough to say politically incorrect stuff about Muslims. Rogitz provides us with an example. Adams says, It is unambiguously evident that their only strengths are making babies and hating the West. They are unproductive, regressive, and stagnant in terms of innovation.
Personally, I think there's a difference between being brave enough to be politically incorrect, and being blatantly hateful and racist. Starting a debate over whether Muslim women should wear the Burka....that's politically incorrect. Saying Muslims don't have any strengths outside baby-making and west-hating? That's just complete crap.
18. Saw that although Lord Wiki doesn't have a whole entry on Nick Adams, he does talk about him in his entry on the Municipality of Ashfield. It's a government area in Sydney, west of the CBD. Adams is one of 12 councillors. BUT Lord Wiki says he's been suspended. Maybe that's why he's roaming around America making speeches.
Lord Wiki has a list of controversies surrounding Ashfield. They ALL involve Nick Adams.
He racked up a bunch of phone call and cab fare expenses. That made his coworkers a bit angry.
He wanted to ban pigeons from his area. Another Councillor named Marc Rerceretnam responded. The mind boggles when I think of Ashfield pigeons flying to the border of Ashfield and stopping directly at the border, saying "oh no, that's Canterbury, I can't go into there" and flying back in again. I mean this, this is, what exactly is this motion trying to do?
That's pretty funny.
Why does Adams hate pigeons? What? Are they good for only baby-making and hating the west?
Oh, and Adams also hates power tools. He wanted them banned from his area. I guess he wants a world without Muslims, power tools, and pigeons. But he loves Americans.
You know I wouldn't mind finding an Australian who loves America as much as I love Australia. But I'd prefer them not to be so hateful against other groups. I do know a couple of Australians who are very fond of America. Their love is not as zealous as my love, but they think America is cool. I've met one zealous Australian American-Lover. He was very right-wing. I can't remember if he was bigoted/racist. I shouldn't assume he was just because he was right-wing. Then I'm being the bigot. Right?
I do get the feeling that any Australian zealously loving America is going to be right-wing. I think the left is more weary of us....or at least weary of our government. Then again, there can be left-wing Australians who zealously love American culture (like our brilliant Modern Family) but don't like some of our history and government. I guess they'd be similar to us left-wing Americans who love America.
