Courtesy of a new correspondent, here’s a cool music vid from someone who gets it, down under.
Now if that’s not worth fighting for, what is?

Targets of Opportunityblog advertising is good for you Credo"Sign on, young man, and sail with me. The stature of our homeland is no more than the measure of ourselves. Our job is to keep her free. Our will is to keep the torch of freedom burning for all. To this solemn purpose we call on the young, the brave, the strong, and the free. Heed my call, Come to the sea. Come Sail with me." -- John Paul Jones "Pardon him, Theodotus; he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature" --George Bernard Shaw, "Caesar and Cleopatra" "And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."--Friedrich Nietzsche "A kind Providence has placed in our breasts a hatred of the unjust and cruel, in order that we may preserve ourselves from cruelty and injustice. They who bear cruelty, are accomplices in it. The pretended gentleness which excludes that charitable rancour, produces an indifference which is half an approbation. They never will love where they ought to love, who do not hate where they ought to hate."--Edmund Burke “You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.”--General Sir Charles Napier "Μολὼν λαβέ" -- Leonidas "Blogito Ergo Sum" -- Neptunus Lex Amazon AssociateFor the Effort!Winnar!

Yes! Yes! Yes!
OOORAH!
SF,

Um, Cap’n…was it the winsome blonde lass, the stirring patriotic sentiment, the indomitable fighting spirit of the Diggers, or…
The F-18 silhouette that creeps in around 2:32?
Just, you know, asking.
Are those the only choices? ‘Cos I’d gladly take “all of the above.”
And getting airtime as filler on non other than the ABC (Yanks: state run channel usually accused of being hopeless commies).
That song and video gives me chills–and I don’t often get chills just from something like that.
What a beautiful song! And the spirit in her eyes as she sings…
Let me get this right..the Aussies have Beccy, and we have, you know, the Dixie Chicks? I think I need a couple cans of Fosters’.
Man, she made me proud. I’ll put her poster up and my hubby can admire it as much as he likes.
And she can sing too. What’s not to like?
Wow. Advance Australia Fair…
have suddenly misplaced my Dixie Chick CDs. Hmm.. all this shelf space available for Beccy Cole. Where has she been all this time?
WOW! What a great message… she gets it. Beautiful voice too… I think a trip to Amazon is in order! (Maybe iTunes… that is much faster!)
Thanks for the link, Sir!

Wow – where has SHE been hiding? What a beautiful voice and a gorgeous song. Amen.
Yup – Amazon it is.
Way to mellow. I prefer this:

Semper Primus Baby!!!!
Then again, who needs Turkeys and plastic jets?

I think I’m in luv.
She looks kind of like Carly Simon, 30 years ago.
So Mike, didja finally buy your own computer?
And reddog, how cool was that one album cover, anyway?
I mean, back in the seventies?
She was wasted on James Taylor and Warren Beatty.
My thoughts exactly Reddog… but alas, dear Carly has not aged well…but we’ll always have the seventies and we have Beccy now. Best
Damn! Just. Damn!
Yup! She gets it! The next adult beverage I tip will be a Fosters. God Bless you, Aussies!
Beccy’s song and vid are making the rounds and no doubt bringing her heaps of positive publicity and some small amount into her coffers.
Yay for free speech and the power of the blogosphere.
Makes me feel real good when twats like the one who wrote to her condemming her for singing to the troops get exactly what they deserve as Beccy gets her name and song aired around the world.
Nice find, Lex. Thanks for sharing. Glad to have you back and in rare form!
