WE Need A Leader Like This!

That is some horrible c**p that guy spewed. It's hard to believe any world leader could profess that level of intolerance and bigotry.

Prime Minister John Howard - Australia




Quote: 'IMMIGRANTS, NOT (CITIZENS OF THE U.S.), MUST ADAPT. Take It Or Leave It. I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture.

In parenthesis as not to offend our neighbors, particularly northern ones who then want to give geography lessons.


'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!'



'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 e very 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 American freedom,



'THE RIGHT TO LEAVE'.'

With some editing, I think this about sums up what most people in this country feel. Did Howard overstep his bounds with his remarks, probably. I can understand why he might have done it. I also find it tiring to try and understand multiple languages just to get the shopping done. Keep your culture, except where it runs counter to ours(ie. laws). I wouldn't move to a foreign country and expect everyone to there to learn my language and do what I wanted just because that's way we did it back home. Just my opinion, I could be wrong. But I don't think so.

He did a whole lot better than a certain world leader I can think of.

If you're talking about "Dubya" you won't get any arguments from me!

I have a bad feeling about this...

I know some of us want this thread open, while some of us want this thread closed. I can't please everyone.

Just remember, we're all just people. Just people.
