Australian Prime Minister sounds off...WOW!!!

[2canchew]

Subject: FW: AUSTRALIA SAYS NO - 2ND TIME



I don't usually send on these kinds of emails. But for sure I agree completely with this one.


Australian Prime Minister does it again!!


It took a lot of courage for this man to speak what he had to say for the world to hear. The retribution could be phenomenal, but at least he was willing to take a stand on his and Australia 's beliefs.

Whole world needs a leader like this!


Prime Minister Kevin Rudd - 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, Rudd 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.'

Maybe if we circulate this amongst ourselves in Canada & USA , WE will find the courage to start speaking and voicing the same truths.



AMEN !!!!!

Great speech, that's how it should be. Amen.

 

[Surfbum84]

I absolutely love everything he said.

 

[danmand]

The australians should have used these moral principles when they killed the aboriginal australians as dogs.

No0w it is a little bit too late.

 

[vyrguy]

Despite the fact that Australias leaders have always struck me as more than a little racist I must confess that when I apply this to Canada and even just genrerally, this is EXACTLY how I feel and EXACTLY the sort of message that should be communicated here in Canada.
Now the question is how do we make this a campaign issue.

This comes up every so often, either quoted by the Australian prime minister, or principal at a school or any others:

While I can't say I support sharia law in Canada, the message and I disagree when it comes to the intolerance voiced. Sure, the immigrants in question chose Australia and should demonstrate some desire to integrate into the larger Australian society. But let's not forget that Australia chose the immigrants in question. They invited muslims into their country. And now this email which is bogus is targeting certain Australian citizens and demanding that they conform to what others believe. This is bizarre. Its behavior worthy of Saudi Arabia, not a western democracy. I am thankful that it is indeed bogus. Its message is meant to inflame hatred. The real version, that the Aussie PM met with moderate muslim imams and community leaders to discuss issues important to them, is perfectly acceptable.

People who support this message of hatred directed at muslims should try taking a night course in Ojibway or Cree, if they feel so strongly about immigrants conforming.

Here is the other speech which people think was actually given by a school principal:

January 05, 2011
A Speech Every Canadian High School Principal Should Give
If every school principal gave this speech at the beginning of the next school year, Canada would be a better place.

To the students and faculty of our high school:




I am your new principal, and honoured to be so. There is no greater calling than to teach young people.

I would like to apprise you of some important changes coming to our school. I am making these changes because I am convinced that most of the ideas that have dominated public education in Canada have worked against you, against your teachers and against our country.

First, this school will no longer honour race or ethnicity. I could not care less if your racial makeup is black, brown, red, yellow or white. I could not care less if your origins are African, Latin American, Asian or European, or when your ancestors arrived here or how they got her.

The only identity I care about, the only one this school will recognize, is your individual identity -- your character, your scholarship, your humanity. And the only national identity this school will care about is Canadian. This is a Canadian public school, and Canadian public schools were created to make better Canadians.

If you wish to affirm an ethnic, racial or religious identity through school, you will have to go elsewhere. We will end all ethnicity-, race- and non-Canadian nationality-based celebrations. They undermine Canadian values.

This includes all after-school clubs. I will not authorize clubs that divide students based on any identities. This includes race, language, religion, sexual orientation or whatever else may become in vogue in a society divided by political correctness.

Your clubs will be based on interests and passions, not blood, ethnic, racial or other physically defined ties. Those clubs just cultivate narcissism -- an unhealthy preoccupation with the self -- while the purpose of education is to get you to think beyond yourself. So we will have clubs that transport you to the wonders and glories of art, music, astronomy, languages you do not already speak, carpentry and more. If the only extracurricular activities you can imagine being interesting in are those based on ethnic, racial or sexual identity, that means that little outside of yourself really interests you.

Second, because I regard learning as a sacred endeavor, everything in this school will reflect learning's elevated status. This means, among other things, that you and your teachers will dress accordingly. Many people in our society dress more formally for Hollywood events than for church or school. These people have their priorities backward. Therefore, there will be a formal dress code at this school.

Third, no obscene language will be tolerated anywhere on this school's property -- whether in class, in the hallways or at athletic events. If you can't speak without using the f-word, you can't speak. By obscene language I mean the words banned by the CRTC, plus epithets such as the N-word that rhymes with trigger even when used by one black student to address another black, or the b-word that rhymes with witch even when addressed by a girl to a girlfriend. It is my intent that by the time you leave this school, you will be among the few your age to instinctively distinguish between the elevated and the degraded, the holy and the obscene.

Fourth, we will end all self-esteem programs. In this school, self-esteem will be attained in only one way -- the way people attained it until decided otherwise a generation ago -- by earning it. One immediate consequence is that there will be one valedictorian, not eight.

Fifth, and last, I am reorienting the school toward academics and away from politics and propaganda. No more time will devoted to scaring you about smoking and caffeine, or terrifying you about sexual harassment or global warming. No more semesters will be devoted to condom wearing and teaching you to regard sexual relations as only or primarily a health issue. There will be no more attempts to convince you that you are a victim because you are not white, or not male, or not heterosexual or not Christian. We will have failed if any one of you graduates this school and does not consider him or herself inordinately lucky -- to be alive and to be a Canadian.

Now, please stand and join me in the singing of Oh Canada. As many of you do not know the words, your teachers will hand them out to you.



***This speech was adapted from a column written by US Talk show host Dennis Prager last year***

 

[dick.assman]

Amen to that!

Wow, that's amazing that (left-leaning) Kevin Rudd gave the exact same speech that his predecessor John Howard gave! The funny thing is Rudd's not even the PM anymore... you'd think the moron who's circulating this email would at least fill in the name of the current Australian prime minister.

 

[oldjones]

I absolutely love everything he said.

As long as we ignore the crap about The Holy Christian God. And most everything else.

Of course he spouts this bullshit because it gets him votes from the semi-brain-dead, terrified of the sea of brown people their island's surrounded by. Not too brain-dead to know after generations of swilling their way 'round SE Asia they know Aussies have a steep climb to make friends among them.

We note he has neither considered the issue of loyal Autralian-born citizens who disagree with his bigotted position nor the detailed warning label and oath that any reasonable person of his beliefs (I realize reasonable and his beliefs are contaradictory) would publish to everyone before they were allowed to purchase a fare to visit or emigrate to his close-minded little personally-created prison-colony. Either way, iuf they don't like his version, they aren't free to do anything but leave. Ah the joys of free speech and belief when you're PM. Harpo's taking notes.

What he's complaining about is exactly what his forebears did. And he boasts they were making a democracy in the same sentences he warns others against execrcising it. What a vile speech from someone besmirching those ideals.

Which particular brand of Christian Gods/is the one that no one's supposed to insult now? Is the Australian version region-specific, or will it play on my DVD player here?

Prime Minister Kevin Rudd - Australia

The first clue should have been that Julia Gillard has been Prime Minister of Australia since late June of last year.

 

[oldjones]

But she didn't say that indefensible crap. Is it any less bigotted and despicable because he isn't PM now? Tell us the speech was the direct cause of his no longer being PM, which was why it was posted and I'll have the my FireFox Irony Add-on upgraded.

Nevertheless, it's a stain on democratic ideals, whatever his current job. But the thought he's not currently PM is comforting, though hearing that he's under continuing care would be more so.

 

[Sniper Jr.]

But she didn't say that indefensible crap.

Neither did he.

 

[oldjones]

Neither did he.

Thanks, I've been to Snopes, and know this junk has been falsely attributed to Howard and others. There are enough people who actually believe this drivel—the guy who wrote it being one—that I don't have to go back on single iota of my opinion of their thinking (using that term loosely)

But all you ex-Aussie PM's can rest easy.

[nottyboi]

The speech represents a very redneck attitude. Immigration is a two way street. western countries NEED immigrants. IMHO immigration is HUGELY improved Canada. (the natives may disagree...but I am talking about the last 20-30 years). Expecting large scale immigration to not change the culture of a country is simply STUPID.

 

[Aardvark154]

Is it any less bigotted and despicable.

The speech represents a very redneck attitude.

Needless to say (legal) immigration brings new things to the states which welcome it (and frequently positive thing). However, how is it wrong to say that emigrating with the intention of remaking your new state into a mirror of your old state is stupid?

 

[fuji]

Maybe someone should tell Americans and Canadians of British or French descent. I don't think either the pilgrims or the voyageurs had any intention of going native. They even had the nerve to call their new homes "New England" and "New France".

 

[TVA]

naive . to think that a multi-cultural society can function peacefully in long run. look at mideast and other countries in war, it's all about difference in religion and ethnicity.
