The savages knew to step in line and behave and are better off now don’t you know. The problem is these _new_ darkies! They don’t know their place! It upsets the order! ---

Don’t it just bring tears to your eyes. Why would when we have such guiding lights as Bob Katter’s Australia Party, the Palmer United Party, the League of Rights, the One Nation hydra and the Foundation for National Renewal. Take us back to the Elysian days of On Our Selection with Dad and Dave … and why do so many of these sages come from Queensland? Xenophobic, homophobic, anti-semantic agrarian socialist fruit bats. Crawl back under that nice flat rock from whence you came. ---

Restore Australia seems to be very closely aligned to a previous and similar Queensland based party, One Nation. The CEO of Restore Australia, Mike Holt, was a candidate for One Nation. Also, Hi **jjimm** good to see you posting again. ---

> [@FosterFoskin](#): > > That’s the problem isn’t it? You don’t think. But if you open your eyes and start doing some research you will see why I, and so many other Aussies, are worried about losing our civilization and rights to the islamist crazies who are trying to impose sharia law on all of us. Perhaps you are not aware of it, but they have already written an islamic Constitution for Australia. We managed to download a copy of it before they realized what a monumental mistake they had made and deleted it from the Hisb ut-Tahrir website: > [http://www.restoreaustralia.org.au/an-islamic-constitution-for-australia/](http://www.restoreaustralia.org.au/an-islamic-constitution-for-australia/) You downloaded a copy of a generic draft constitution that is freely available on [every Hisb ut-Tahrir website](https://www.google.com/search?q=Draft+Constitution+of+the+Khilafah+State&rlz=1C1CHFX_enUS555US555&oq=Draft+Constitution+of+the+Khilafah+State&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i60.742j0j4&sourceid=chrome&espv=210&es_sm=93&ie=UTF-8), which is why it doesn’t mention Australia. It presumably also doesn’t mention Australia because there are hardly any Muslims there. If your country needs to be rescued from a demographic that makes up 1.7% of your population, you are probably doomed anyway. Best of luck. ---

> [@FosterFoskin](#): > > [li]Do you think Obama is a muslim “plant”?[/li] I believe - perhaps controversially in some quarters - that Obama is a member of the species Homo sapiens, and is therefore part of the Kingdom Animalia. For evidence, I offer his well-documented ability to move and eat. Further, I would suggest that his relatively dark skin tone is less than optimal for photosynthesizing, which is generally considered a fairly fundamental defining characteristic of Kingdom Plantae. As to his religion, lacking any primary evidence, I can only suggest that, to the best of my knowledge, no leading Islamic scholar has proposed that the tenets of Islam should be applied to nonsentient sessile vegetative growth, making the idea of a Muslim plant rather problematic. But I could be wrong. Also, you’re a twat. ---

> [@FosterFoskin](#): > > I’m sure your ignorance will make a fine weapon when the muslims cut you throat for not being muslim. Try doing some research. You would be amazed what you could learn. As an Australian that has travelled and lived in several muslim countries, your party, your vision and your knowledge are all repellent. I’m confident to know that you’ll never get more than 0.01 percent of the vote or so, which is what you deserve. ---

> [@Little\_Nemo](#): > > Of course, most of us think restoring National Socialism would be a bad idea. Can we get red jackboots, or are those limited for use by **Ellen**? I was surprised by the join date and would like to add my vote to the proposed name change. According to the thesis of one Enrique Jardiel Poncela, whose literary and philosophical works are exemplified in, among others, the script to Disney’s Dumbo, men and women are different species: men are animals, women are flowering plants. In some of his works he specifically states that men are camelids, or at the very least that a bunch of men is the same as a bunch of camels. Since Mr. Obama is demonstrably male, I therefore posit that he is not a plant at all but a camelid, although his closest family members are all plants, albeit not of a Muslim bent as of last check (they might be Roseacea).
