I'm an Aussie by birth AND a proud American Citizen since 2005. I believe the following stance by the current Australian Prime Minister is how ALL ELECTED LEADERS should react to uphold the rights and interests of their fellow citizens for whom they are supposed to represent and care for ....... especially here in the USA.
Australia says NO -- This will be the second Time Julian Gillard has done this! She sure isn't backing down on her hard line stance and one has to appreciate her belief in the rights of her native countrymen. A breath of fresh air to see someone lead with guts and determination. Australian Prime Minister does it again!! The whole world needs a leader like this! I dare our American politicians to make this stand. Prime Minister Julia Gillard - 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, Gillard angered some Australian Muslims on Wednesday by saying she 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 that accepted you.' NOTE: IF we circulate this amongst ourselves in Canada & USA, WE will find the courage to start speaking and voicing the same truths. I encourage one and all to circulate this. It's about time we citizens found our collective voice. You thought you'd missed out!
Well, here's another chance to grab yourself a discounted copy of my eBook - The Pits. The day Captain Kramer, USMC, rescued a lonely pup off the streets in Afghanistan proved the turning point in both their lives. For Kramer it meant the filling of a great void left by the loss of his own lifelong buddy, Rusty; for the pup it meant a whole new identity as Corporal Shadow, a whole new and loving family - the US Marine Corps, but more importantly the unconditional love from his rescuer, Kramer. Little did either realize that their devotion to each other would be tested to the point of life or death on the battle field and in the streets back home in America. |
