Coen, Far North Queensland.   Hot. Isolated. Cut off during the wet season. Ideal!

‘More than one week after its extended deadline, New York still hasn’t mailed out absentee ballots to all its 320,000 military servicemen and women and overseas voters, in clear violation of the MOVE Act, FoxNews.com has learned.

According to the 2009 MOVE Act, a state must send out its military and overseas ballots 45 days prior to elections.
….”The gravity of New York’s failure cannot be overstated. With approximately 50,000 military and overseas voters in New York City alone, there is no doubt that the November elections could be altered by this failure,” said Eric Eversole, a former Justice Department voting section attorney who recently started a nonprofit organization, Military Voter Protection Project, to protect military voting rights.’

Obama and Holder are traitors, and this is a back-door way of making America subject to “international law”. The leftist dream made fact. If this doesn’t make your blood boil then nothing will. The court should have found that these countries have “no standing” in this fight and the Dems are using the leftist courts and unelected judges to do their dirty work for them.

‘The far-right resurged in local elections Sunday in Vienna, the Austrian capital, securing the biggest gains in votes and mandates following a campaign laced with anti-Islamic rhetoric.’

It seems–according to the MSM–that anything outside the left’s multiculti Nirvana is “far right” nowadays…

‘THE delivery of indigenous services in the Northern Territory has developed into a huge bureaucratic machine.
The number of new public servants since the launch of the federal intervention almost matches the number of extra frontline troops of doctors, nurses, teachers and police.
An investigation by The Australian reveals that, since mid-2007, the number of federal public servants based in the NT – within the Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs alone – has more than doubled.
And the department that manages indigenous affairs in the NT has increased its staff numbers by 60 per cent to more than 1100.
The scale of the growth in indigenous bureaucracy comes as remote communities complain of widespread bureaucratic wastage. Visiting government departments book out entire hotels to use only a few rooms, and officials from different departments arrive at the same meeting on separately chartered aircraft.’                             source

from the Baron at Gates of Vienna, on the EDL. Go read the whole thing, because–sooner or later–it will apply to us as well.

‘…The Marxist strategy has always been to destroy those things that the English nation — or any nation — holds dear. Tradition, custom, culture, religion, history, a distinctive language and dialect — all of these had to be deconstructed in order that the New Socialist Man could be constructed and usher in the Utopia.
This is what we are contending against. This strategy has played out very successfully for more than fifty years. Islam and dhimmitude are just the latest weapons to be deployed against the arch-enemy of the Left, which is Western Civilization itself.

To successfully combat the forces arrayed against them, Englishmen who love their nation will have to change this “class war” meme. They will have to put aside their resentments and anger, and recover their ancient dependence upon one another.

If they don’t change the meme, they will lose.

And England will cease to be.’

Obama bleats that repubs are accepting “foreign money” for campaign donations..but some of us remember this:

“Then there’s the question of whether foreign nationals are contributing to the Obama campaign. There is more than enough evidence to warrant a full-scale investigation by the Federal Election Commission, including the $32,332.19 that appears to have come from two brothers living in a Hamas-controlled Palestinian refugee camp in Rafah, GA (that’s Gaza, not Georgia). The brothers’ cash is part of a flood of illegal foreign contributions accepted by the Obama campaign.”                        source

‘….What most don’t seem to realise is that the enemy of the Right is not the Left, it is the Centre. It is from the Centre that the various forms of appeasement come. It is from the Centre that the situational deal-making, the sale (or giving away) of our culture and heritage, the politics of diversion arise. It is the Centre that is to blame for the evil of Ratchet Socialism. It is the Centre that demonises the Right, by labelling as “too extreme” any idea that would have even a remote chance of improving New Zealand’s wealth.’

UPDATE: And for the finest example of the left posing as the “moderate centre” we have No Minister.
