Do we need our President to be more like Australia?

Here is what the Prime Minister of Australia had to say to all the people in Australia. What say you?

America, Canada, all Europe ...... needs a President like this.

Prime Minister Kevin Rude - Australia

Muslims who want to live under Islamic Shari 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, 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."

    Don't realise you, that with the Austrians used to be a lapsus linguae. That occurs as we Germans say "Im Eifer des Gefechts" If you wouldn't have extra.... your arguments in opposition to GWB are very deficient. Greetings from Hamburg, Germany Heinz

    Ahem - his name is Kevin Rudd (like in Buddy) with 2 D's. not Rude. (I'm sure he had enough trouble growing up and getting bullied for his name.)

    This is a strong statement and I for one am glad he made it. Immigration is a sore point in Australia at the moment.

    Mwah to BG and to Regwah just ...because!

    EDIt -m special thanks to Regwah for finding the true attribution to JohnHoward - see how easy it is to go off in a transit without valiating your sources. It is still a good statement whoever said it.

    Source(s): In Australia there is a comedian named Rodney Rude who is no relation whatsoever to the PM.

    And a big Mwah! to Jellz & BG.

    No Barbie, I can't find Kevin Rudd saying that, that is all Howard's words from 2006.

    This link is saying Rudd said all those things.

    Why not just tear up the Constitution that protects everyone while you're at it?

    The US is not Australia (in fact the country is about the size of California population/economy wise), it's a place that's supposed to be the greatest democracy in the world.

    But you'd rather kick out anyone not like you? Nice.
