    Default Does Australia have it right????

    I don't normally forward things I get in my mail box but I thought you would like this one.
    I don't know if this is true, I think its. We should find this guy and put him in the White House.
    This is a man with backbone.


    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------



    DO YOU THINK IF WE ASK HIM, HE'D RUN FOR PRESIDENT OF THE U.S. ?


    Prime Minister John Howard - 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 amongst ourselves, American citizens will find the backbone to start speaking and voicing the same truths.

    If you agree please SEND THIS ON

    It will never happen, because both parties have sold out America for votes and for cheap labor.

    I note that you are irked at the thought of hard working union members making $75 /hr. but fail to mention the incompetent management that ran the big three into the ground making cars no one wants while they made out like bandits with million dollar paychecks and fat bonuses and perks.......gotta be a republican.
    Your current post, your emphatic mistrust of Pres. Obama and your lack of previous posts questioning the crazy decisions of Pres. Bush lead me to conclude that you are an extreme right winger......good luck with that.

    Thank you I am known for my common sense and good looks! I make no bones about being a Free Market Capitalist and a Conservative that believes in less Government, more personal freedom, and working hard for a fare amount of money without a socialist government putting restrictions on it! GWB was not a Conservative and was closer to Clinton than Reagan! I do think he was right on the War and the defense of this country! 7 years and no attacks, I don't think B.O. will have the same record! He has even dropped charges against the bomber of the Cole! Nice move if you hate this country, which he does! I think he should be Impeached for asking for one Trillion in spending and .5 billion to the BLM!!!! So freedom and gun ownership will workout just fine thank you!

    As for the cars, you couldn't be more wrong! Not drilling is the third part of the perfect storm! Again regulations, Unions, and oil killed the SUV! What about the $10.000.00 dollars gas guzzler tax on full size SUV? Put on by Clinton and the same time he destroyed the US Yachting industry! But you would have to be aware of the world to know that! Sounds like you're a public school educated left wing DUMOCRAT! Lets see how that works for you when they start regulating SCUBA, because they will be coming for you next! But remember, "We only want to help you" LOL!!! Oh ya what about that Global Warming thing? A bunch of ignorant fools!

    What's your point? Read what he said from Aussie sources! He said what he said and posting as if it was a hoax is missing the point and demeaning to him! As fare as "Racist" religion is not a race and would you say the same thing defending "Mein Kampf" BTW German for "Struggle" sound familiar as like Jihed
    in the Co ran??? So I call them as I see them! Education is so important, wish we could make it so only people with one could vote!

    Saw this e-mail a while back, attributed to Howard. By the way, for those who don't know, he was Prime Minister representing the conservative side of Australian politics. However, they were ousted by the labour party at the last election in, I understand, a somewhat similar sweep to that seen in the USA election last year.

    Don't really care about the specifics of who actually said what and when, but I do feel the sentiments warrant some consideration. I consider myself a tolerant person, some would call me liberal but there are aspects of my lifestyle and beliefs which many would say put me in the conservative camp. They are both right.

    In this particular case, I think the crux of the matter is the choice to move to another country and accept that country and its laws, culture and way of life. If you choose to emigrate to Australia, it is not unreasonable for the Australian government and its people to expect that you accept their rules and regulations. I suspect the documents you signed when you emigrated said that, more or less. After all, you chose to go there, so one would assume that you felt it was better, overall, than where you were coming from. Same for the USA, UK or any other country. If I chose to live in, just for example, Iran, I would expect to have to abide by Iranian laws and respect Iranian culture and way of life.

    OK, other side of the coin for a moment. We have no right to enforce our rules, culture or political system on another country or people. Just because we don't agree with theirs, doesn't give us the right to change it. It is up to the people of any given country to figure out what's best for them and make it happen. In some cases that may be an evolutionary process, in others it is revolutionary, but either way, its up to them.

    Something along the lines of "live and let live"!

    OK, that's my two cents worth, now I'm getting back to reading some of the diving related topics.

    It is a good two cents! But, just like Hitler and his beliefs we had to final face the music and pay the price! There is nothing wrong with judging another religion or culture by how they treat the least of their society and especially their Women!
