Epistles from the Apostles
I think you picked out less than mainstream rightist thinking.
I purposely at my blog post to get opposition. Some have at my blog been commenting for years. I think the Bush mindset is strong. No diplomacy ever etc.
What do the words under your blog title say? Off topic I know but I'm curious.
RE, I agree that these guys are not mainstream, but many of their themes are.
Miss P, you can find some info on the words here:

Stop Common Purpose
If you don't know what Common Purpose is, I suggest you find out.
Common Purpose is a corrupt organisation which must be stopped:

In particular, consider how they have corrupted the British police:

I don't think I'll be able to take up your advice, SCP.
Aurora and her groupthinkers may not be mainstream - I bloody well hope not! - but in the Aussie rightwing bloggery they do seem to take up a lot of space. Not as influential as a Bolt or a Blair, but still worthy of attention for mine.
Oh yeah, and the themes they pursue (including those here about world government) also get an airing from some of Australia's radio hosts, some fringe some not.
Aurora, like Bolta, Blair etc are just not important or even relevant.
The bad news for them is that they have had their time during Howard's reign. It's over. That era of ultra conservatism mixed with religion having a bearing on government policy, will never rear it's ugly head again in western politics. Society only gets smarter and the days of extreme left or right is over. At least so called leftist views are more at ease in a modern society than strict capitalist RW/religious views are. RW politics is about being selfish and screw everyone else. Just look at their take on religion, business, social affairs, guns etc. People simply don't like getting screwed and the right have nothing to offer the masses.
The best news though, is that I have a woody.
Best news I've heard all day, Terry.
Funny how the TMS crowd didn't bother to coe over and defend the many blatant falsehoods they were peddling.
I'm surprised righties need to feel paranoid about a 'world government', when we already have plenty of multinationals whose reach extends beyond any government anyway.
I'm not so optimistic about our political situation, Terry. It didn't take much for Pauline Hanson to win a million votes, and it wasn't so long ago. An economic downturn, even in Australia, would probably result in a lurch toward the extremes (though not necessarily armed revolt or anything like that). But you would probably see an increase in leftist and rightist political activism.
THR, that's just my take on it. You're the expert in this field (except compared to c;nt). Maybe I'm too trusting of human sensibility? Maybe I'm just too hopeful we will learn from the previous 10 years or so under ultra conservatism? Maybe I'm just naive LOL.
What did/are you doing at uni? You seem to have incredible knowledge and a cohesive grasping of political history. My knowledge starts and ends with the lefty musicians - John Lenin and Richard Marx.
Bron.
Why are you so happy I'm drinking Paddock Wood Lager? Do you have a woody too?
The author claims that Nietzsche was 'Hitler's hero'. [. . .] "Neitzsche has been the darling of the Left for decades now. In the current age of globalism and internationalism, is there going to be a surge in Nazism whether overt or tacit? I would say, the surge has already started."
Genetic fallacy.
Terry, Australians have rejected ultra-rightism before. There have been fledgling fascist movements (the first in 1940s NSW called the 'New Guard', I think) but they've never gotten anywhere. As long as our society has some welfare state 'buffers', then I think economic shocks will be minimised, and Australian politics will probably continue as it has. The thing is, both sides of politics are attempting to wither away the welfare state. It will be interesting to see what happens.
AV, I don't think that the author of that piece is even remotely interested in logic. Nonetheless, they could have at least read a page or two of the philosopher they wished to demonise, or even have spelled his named correctly.
"Do you have a woody too?"
Yes, yes I do. Want pix?
Thanks THR
Bron: Yes, yes I do. Want pix?
I know I'm going to regret this ... OK Bron, I want pix.
*brrr slight shake of anticipation/worry*
New Guard started in the 1930s. 
My mistake. This is why I don't win trivia nights.
"That era of ultra conservatism mixed with religion having a bearing on government policy, will never rear its ugly head again in western politics."
The recent election results in France and Italy would tend to suggest otherwise.

Berlusconi is about as sleazy as conservatism gets, and he doesn't appear concerned at the openly bigoted elements of his coalition.
Incidentally, you're up rather early, @ndy.
Then again, Italy's voting system is so complex and "[v]ictory in the Senate is essential to Italy's governability, and since seats are allotted on a regional basis the make up of the upper house does not always reflect the national vote."

Go Italy! (What kind of dick names a political party with a football-like warcry?!)
An unctuous right-winger, that's who!
Forza Italia is an actual football warcry. Football and politics has a bit of history over there, with some teams having allegedly communist fans, and others being, er, fans of Mussolini.
Forza Italia!!!
I hold my woody up high.
Forza Italia!!!
Slightly off/on-topic, for your perusal, THR:

The Corrupt Knight's side won a sufficient number of votes to be granted a majority in the Lower House: 340 seats of a total of 630; this allotment the result of a recent change to electoral laws.
Summary of results:
"In the Lower House of Parliament, Berlusconi's party received 46.8% of the vote, compared to 37.6% for the principal opposition party, Walter Veltroni's Partito Democratico (The Democratic Party, PD). This translates into 340 seats for the PdL, and 239 seats for the Democrats (of a total of 630 seats). In the Senate, the proportion of votes going to the PdL and the PD was 47.3% and 38% respectively, or 168 and 130 seats (of a total of 315 seats). The other party to achieve representation in Parliament is the Unione dei Democratici Cristiani e di Centro, or UDC (Union of Christian and Centre Democrats), which gained 36 MPs and 3 Senators."

As for the left, the Rainbow Alliance's vote was sufficiently small to guarantee absolutely NO representation in either House: the first time in post-war Italian history there will be no Communists in Parliament. The left of the left (Sinistra Critical/Critical Left) gained about 1/3 of the votes of the (centre) left (ie, RA). Most pundits maintain that this appalling result (for the left) was punishment for the left's active co-operation with the PD under Romani. That is, voters either abandoned the left or simply didn't vote.
Best analysis I've read so far is provided by the wsws.org.
The results are significant not only for the return of the Knight but for the possibly decisive shift in Italian politics from a multi-party to an essentially two-party system.
As for football, yeah: the fan base of particular clubs are often associated with particular political perspectives. One of the most notorious fascist firms/'ultras' (Irriducibili) follows Lazio, which is where Paulo di Canio played. di Canio is notorious for being an outright Fascist.
Not all ultras are fascist of course: there are Ultra Antifa. Some organise an annual anti-racist World Cup in Italy:
