The fact that the US dropped said atomic bombs reflects their world view. Its aggressive foreign policy is not a 'failing' of liberalism, it's a reflection of liberalism and unrestricted greed. I would consider the following as fundamental rights, that the US does not generally permit: Gay marriage, legalisation of marijuana, gender/race not cause for inequal pay rates, the right to not be harassed by racist cops, not to mention the various civil liberties taken away by the Patriot Act. Freedom of speech is only for those who can pay for it, especially in the US. Personally, I would consider guaranteed free healthcare and education to be human rights in the 21st century. The US is freer than most countries, but it's hardly libertarian.
its aggressive foreign policy reflects greed on the part the U.S military industrial complex, it is ridiculous to think that liberalism=unrestricted greed.

The United States government is a poor example of an effective liberal democracy compared to the many that exist in the Commonwealth and Europe, but his point still stands.
I only used the U.S as an example as it was mentioned by SylvesterBr. To be fair there isn't a single liberal democracy on Earth that truly reflects the liberal ideals espoused by Locke, Mill and co.

Greens.

They are the only party who seem to understand just how retarded the 'free market fundamentalists' are.
They also seem to grasp the fact that government should not be withdrawing stimulus yet.


Liberal and Labor are both just appealing to deadbeat right-wing racists, i.e. every Australian citizen living outside a metropolitan area.
nauseating.
lol

I think the fact that 2.5 million Americans are in jail is the main point

um no the point of tha tgraph was clearly to demonstrate that increases in the prison population have coincided with some drugs and sentencing things but it didnt accomodate for an increased population of the same period

if the graph was % of pop in jail then ok cool

BEWARE THE GREENS!
Everyone who cares about preserving our Australian values needs to be aware of the policies of the Greens. No, not just the environment and the vacuous policies put forward by Bob Brown.
The main thrust of their agenda is anti-family. Their policies:
Same-sex “marriage” and adoption ; Inappropriate (even pornographic) sex education, from kindergarten up, promoting homosexuality and “sexual diversity” (which may mean any form of depravity) ; Self-identified sex, i.e. is a person who is biologically a man may claim to be a woman and have access to women’s rest-rooms, exposing women to danger of sexual assault ; Abortion to be expanded and promoted ; Euthanasia, misrepresented as “voluntary”, endangers the lives of the disabled and the elderly ; Legalisation of prostitution, represented as “care for women”, instead of exploitation of women ; Decriminalisation of illegal drugs, based on so-called “harm minimisation” ; Penalising stay-at-home mothers ; and Expanding the power and funding of the Australian “Human Rights” Commission, which has declared war on freedom of religion http://www.hreoc.gov.au/about/media/papers/freedom_religion20090803.pdf
“Like oil and water” religion and human rights don’t mix” 2008 Media Release: Supporting the Declaration is the next step*
This is in direct violation of the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 18
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights
We can be sure that an infamous “Bill of Rights” will again be on the agenda.
“Sexual freedom” (until recently known as sexual licence) is to trump conscience rights.
The AHRC is an un-elected bureaucracy, which is usurping the authority of our elected representatives. New “rights” are introduced for a few specified minorities at the cost of abolishing authentic rights of the majority. This endangers democracy, in which the outcome is determined by majority vote.
So much for the Greens, who are expected to hold the balance of power.
Regarding Julia Gillard : How many Australians have even heard of EMILY’s List (Early Money is Like Yeast)? Welcome to - EMILY's List -- much less know that our new PM was a joint founder of this organisation in Australia, and continues to be an active member.
Their main policy is expansion of abortion. Remember that Julia Gillard attacked the parental rights of Tony Abbott last February, with regard to his advocating chastity before marriage to his own daughters. Such a message to teens is “bad for business” for the abortion industry!
that's awesome! they have my vote
