I can assure you this is not true, she never said it, it's just another of those chain mail things, but I wish it was true. Ernie

Australia says NO -- Second Time she 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. Australian Prime Minister does it again!!

The whole world needs a leader like this!


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 YOU accepted.'
Australia says NO -- Second Time she has done this... (show quote)


I agree because a country stands strong together when it shares one culture, one language, one monetary system and one system of laws. If previous European, African and Asian immigrants can come here and adjust why can't the Hispanics? You won't believe how many times I've been told by Hispanics that I should learn to speak Spanish and the number of jobs requiring the ability to speak both English and Spanish.

The attempts to teach in several languages is one reason why the California Public School System nearly went bankrupt. I resent folks coming here and trying get me to adjust to them. If they want what this country has to offer, they should adjust.

This apparent need to be politically correct is tearing this country apart.

Also the Constitution of these United States and our tax dollars should only protect and be used for U. S. citizens, not the rest of the world especially illegal immigrants and their off springs.

BACK LASH IS COMING!

Infocus is right. Prime Minister Gillard would NEVER publicly say anything like that, more's the pity.

That said, I don't think her successors will either.

Believe, half of what you see, none of what you hear, and that goes double for the internet...
