[blockquote] Whole world Needs A Leader Like Him!


Prime Minister Kelvin Rudd

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, ***anese, 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, WE will find the courage to start speaking and voicing the same truths.


If you agree please SEND THIS ON
and ON to as many people as you know

Must be a slow system, that's been circulating since 2005.

I still don't understand the allure of copying and pasting other people's thoughts. We can all write, right?

Now ask me if I care what you think. Maybe it is cut and pasted because it's easier and faster than retyping it.

You have a point. After all, if all you're typing is crap, what's the difference?

I think the concern is more with fact checking than with cutting and pasting...

Man, you guys are a tough crowd. Read the stinkin' title! It's from an email for crying out loud, that should tell you to take it with a grain of salt.

IPS follows it with the snopes page, which shows that the email is a mixture of quotes attributed to the wrong person. Some of the quotes in the email aren't addressed by snopes, but alot of them are proven accurate, just attributed to the wrong person. In my opinion the snope report is better than the email, but basically conveys the same message.

Did Iwrite rightenough for you Aught?

Yes, you did quite well.

It's a tough crowd, but that's hard to avoid. The Internet can be a great tool for learning, but most of the time it only furthers ignorance.
