Aussie PM Speech
Another chain e-mail forward. Checked with snopes and it is a compilation of correct and incorrect things said by Aussie officials. The jist of it seems to be fairly close though not many elected officials would have the cajones or integrity to be this blunt even if they believed it.
America, Canada, all Europe…… needs a President like this.
Prime Minister Kevin Rudd - Australia
Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law were told on Wednesday to get out of Australia, as the government targeted radicals in a bid to head off potential terror attacks.
Separately, Howard angered some Australian Muslims on Wednesday by saying he supported spy agencies monitoring the nation’s mosques.
Quote: ‘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 and women who have sought freedom. We speak mainly 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 appropriate 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 and peaceful enjoyment with us.’
‘This is 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.’
Maybe if we circulate this , American citizens will find the backbone to start speaking and voicing the same truths. If you agree, please SEND THIS ON!
Supposedly this was compiled in 2005 from a varity of sources. I’m with
whoever put this together though. If you want to live in the US, learn the language. You have your first amendment rights, but this is not a theocracy. This is our country under our Constitution and as far as I’m concerned you can piss off if you don’t like it.
