A fresh breeze of common sense.

I have always admired the Ozzies for their common sense and realism. Their gun-control laws, I don’t admire so much.

There’s only one candidate I know of with enough of a spine

to say something like that-obvious, truthful, and necessary-

and the establishment desperately wants him to go away-

Duncan Hunter!

"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."

Politicians in America have lost the spine to stand up for these values which are the foundation, and CULTURE of this country as well.

If they want to be elected then they need to quit the PC crap and stand up against the Democrat God hating Marxists and Rock worshiping Mohammadans whose goal is to destroy America's Christian culture and convert it into the backwards 7th century barbaric sharia law cesspool they came from. That makes them by definition enemies of this nation.

They should be here because they want to escape that barbaric culture they came from, embrce American culture and become Americans, or go back where they came from.

Well said Prime Minister Howard.

Now the true test will come forth. I have found in my own native country England and to a lesser extent in Canada, a characteristic of many, but not all "minorities". This is that the more deference to these people, the more concessions - the more demands. The exaggerated care taken by the majority spokespersons not to offend, only brings on the "gotcha" tactic.

This tactic is to wait until the slightest deviation from the politically correct norm, then they pounce. Aided by the sycophantic press and human rights johnny come lately, they reduce solid citizens to mumbling apologies. "I didn't mean it like that" they say to deaf ears.

The real test is that the naysayers etc, will quail in front of an ultimatum. If that ultimatum has teeth- and that is the bottom line, John Howard will win going away.

What a contrast to what we’ve heard from Jorge since 9/11. This sort of speech needs to be made about twice a week throughout the Western Civ. nations.

Problem is that John Howard is also a gun grabbing idiot, must be something like Rudy, that way!

While these are clearly great words which could only be spoken by a person not concerned about re-election, I think we better get confirmation that Howard actually said them.

Either way.... I will vote for the man or woman that says something similar in the US.

"I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great Australian freedom,

'THE RIGHT TO LEAVE'."

This is exactly correct.

Bush: Now looky here, this is the religion of peace, good folks just tryin to make a better life fer themselves and and their little bombers, er, er I mean bambinos. Heh heh, Almost shame on me fooled me once.

We should try that sharia law thing for a while, seems to be workin for these folks. Look at how happy the women are. I heard the government got a few of them stoned the other day. I remember that, good times.......

We could even relax the rape laws to match sharia so that our other favorite guests can have less time in court and more time to drive drunk, steal and kill folks.

Heh, heh seems I gots all this figured out and didn't need to go nukeular!

Actually, we have someone like that running for President. Here is a quote. What do you think?

I think we ask them [illegal aliens] to go home. This country has lost 619 thousand Americans on the battlefields around the world in the last 100 years making the world safe. The reason we are not sending people back to Nazi Germany because we took care of Nazi Germany and we liberated the Germans and the reason we are not sending people back to a Communist Poland is because we brought down the Berlin Wall. The reason we are not sending people back to a Marxist Dictatorship in El Salvador is because we liberated El Salvador. We have made the world much freer. And we have pumped billions of dollars into lots of countries to improve their economies. So I think the United States, more than any nation in the world, has a right to tell folks, you folks stay in your own country, make it work and when you want to come into America knock on the front door.
