Multiculturalism = multidivision

Thank goodness for commentators like Andrew Bolt who daily face the wrath of the 'enlightened' (indoctrinated) chattering classes for speaking truth into the market place. In his postings today re: the denigration of Australian culture (and as a recent [12 years] immigrant I can assure you there is a culture) that makes it difficult for people to celebrate being Australian, I couldn't agree more. We as a family are proud to call ourselves Aussies, we could hardly wait the two years to get our citizenship. We agreed as a family even before we arrived, to celebrate and encourage all things Aussie including the various sporting teams which we therefore support even above those from the country we were born into and spent (in my case 40+ years) much of  our lives. It is a little like a good marriage i suppose, (another institution demonised and under attack by the 'elite') when a wife takes on her husbands name she takes on his allegiances as well, much like the biblical Ruth who when her husband died refused to leave her mother in law (Ruth 1:16 "where you go I go, and where you stay i will stay. Your people will be my people, your God my God").
Instead we have the cultural elites preaching a postmodern form of racism, that of tribalism. Rather than encouraging multi-ethnicity within one culture which is healthy and vibrant and creates a colourful, creative mix of ideas, textures and colours, they preach multi-culturalism, encouraging separation of cultures, difference, division, suspicion and ultimately conflict.
The hypocrisy of the issue reminds me of the left wing 'peaceniks' who use violence to make their point and the environmentalists who live in massive houses and fly constantly around the globe telling the rest of us to reign in our 'carbon footprints'...one wonders if anyone is at home in many of these heads, and if so who is ultimately pulling the strings?
