"What happened to dignity, truth, integrity, honesty, consideration and compassion for one's fellow man/woman/ sincerity, humbleness, manners, and above all, true patriotism? One true patriot could bruing an end to this shambles - but eher is no one with the courage to stand up to this sham masquerading as democracy."
Yes, have to agree with you iron mike that the right wing racists/extremists who want to trample the rights and dignity of the vulnerable in society certainly dont demonstrate any of the traits you have stated. The laws of the land must and do apply to all in our democracy and if those who want to breach that law by printing false or unjustifiable vilification to a wider audience have to accept the consequences of their action. True patriots are those who stand by our democracy and the rule of law otherwise we shift to rule by despots or anarchy. Change should only occur through democratic processes including the vote.
If the independents had sided with the coalition to form a minority government we would and should respect that as should also apply to the current minority government. Extremists however, find it difficult to accept democratic outcomes and constantly talk about overthrows. Despotic non democratic tendencies.
