A Politician with a pair

[Russell A. Jost]

of balls. The following was taken from a speech given by the Prime Minister of Australia-Kevin Rudd

Immigrants, not Australians, MUST ADAPT. Take it or leave it. I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Bali, we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Australians.
This culture has been developed over two centuries of struggles, trials and victories by millions of men women who have sought freedom.
We speak ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society. Learn the language!
Most Australians believe in God. This is not some Christian, right wing, political push, but a fact, because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly approriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture.
We will accept your beliefs and will not question why. All we ask is that you accept ours, and live in harmony with us.
This OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow you every opportunity to enjoy all this. But once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about OUR FLAG, OUR PLEDGE, OUR CHRISTIAN beliefs, or OUR WAY OF LIFE, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great Australian freedom, "THE RIGHT TO LEAVE."
If you aren't happy here then LEAVE. WE didn't force you to come here. You asked to be here. So accept the country YOU accepted.

Our politicians in this country caught certainly take a lesson from this guy.

never happen in the U S
politicians are scared of committing political suicide.english ?? you're kidding,right ?? the politicians do not want to alienate themselves from the hispanic vote...what seems like common sense to you and me,certainly doesn't appear so to any form of government-the fort hood shooter is a perfect example of "politically correct" gone bad...

the whole imigration thing is way one sided...long before most of us walked the planet,imigrants came to this country,the first thing they did was learn the language,then get a job,followed by "molding into society"...there were different neighborhoods,the italian section,the irish and the polish,they may have spoke their native language in their homes,but,in public,it was english...now,what we have is,they speak whatever language,and we,as a society have to change for them,get a job ?? why,the government will provide for them...mold into society ?? why,society will bend for us-this is the attitude of the new imigrants...sad part is,we allow it
this country is going to hell in a bucket and it breaks my heart
sad part is,we all know this,but yet,we allow it to continue to take place ? how do these frickin' assholes get elected ?? how ?? how do these incredibley stupid rules and regulations get passed ?? how ?? why do these people who are in this country illegally get away with it ?? banks will give them a mortgage,credit card companies will issue them accounts ??? some states were gonna give them a driver's liscense ?? how can this take place ??? how ??

Cannot be any clearer. This should be our new national anthem. I am speaking as an Immigrant. I came to this country as a young boy. I have fought for this country and very proud of it especially on this Veterans Day. They gave my family refuge from the Cuban communist. What am I to do... not follow the laws of the land...... or demand that I be treaded special. No, I am the one that has to give to this country....thats why I went to war for this country. I could of gotten out of it with all sorts of defferments....IT was my duty to pay back for the freedom this country gave me and my family, and all other Cubans that are here today. Sorry to rand but I just don't understand this political correctness going on.

the #1 reason this country has gone to pure shit. everyone can blame it on obama, bush, their mommy for all I care, but this is what has & is destroying America.

[Capt. Jon Tennant]

and the aussies were far from the first to feel this way....


Theodore Roosevelt's ideas on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN in 1907.

"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

Theodore Roosevelt 1907

First world countries need more leaders like that and then maybe things would improve in this world

[RABBITFISH]

We have to vote for the right people, but it seems like we can't get that kind of choice....
Most of the time it's who is the lesser of two evils, none of the above is not a selection!

It should be!!!!!

[sharonb]

the only way to elect a politician with a "pair" is to elect a conservsative, successful WOMAN who made it by not worrying what anyone thought about them ....hmm Sarah?
Great thoughts!!!
