The people who vote for the right, they are uneducated, backward thinking, religious, racist and bigoted.

Well your bigotry against those who are religious (unless they are Muslims. Predominantly Muslim nations are the best in the world of the pansi) is fairly obvious. But, how the hell do you put religious and bogan in the same sentence? Bogans are known for sitting around on a Sunday (and every other day) on a couch in the front yard with their feet in a kiddies pool drinking beer. Attending church is not exactly their style. The biggest churches in cities are in the middle and upperclass areas. Not Boganville.

Maybe pansi is using these incorrect terms to avoid the realisation that she is very much a cashed up bogan, or as we Queenslanders used to say a bevan or suburban feral.

No, that's table etiquette. Being some aspirational wannabee upstart sounds right. So some kid can mix with the "real" humans.

hehehe, this should be an amusing and illuminating thread. If you are poor, unsophisticated and not well educated but with a tinted skin, the left will fawn all over you, forgive every transgression and earnestly explain your every faux pas and apologise on your behalf.

However if you are poor, unsophisticated not well educated but white, the left will sneer and laugh at you.

It is an amazing thing to watch the unconscious hypocrisy and double standards the left routinely display.

perhaps you'd care to share some example that may have crossed your path? After all, there would never be any hypocrisy or double standards on your part, would there?

Bingo.

Being uneducated and white = bad.
Being uneducated and not white = good.

I suppose it's alright for Kathy Freeman and other abbos to drape themselves in their flag.

Do you?

I don't.

I find it all quite silly.

In my experience, that attitude is carried almost exclusively by those on the Right.

The World Champs of hypocrisy and double-standard-holding ... the ratbag-right.

But rather than acknowledge this, they project their own failings onto their opponents (or perceived opponents).

Thick as Besser-blocks, most of them.
