America First, English Only, No Open Borders, Religious Freedom, Law and Order!

I quote Prime Minister John Howard of Australia. 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 of 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, 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 on e 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.(Again, I quote.) "In the first place we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American.....There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American Flag....We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language....and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people!" Theodore Roosevelt, 1987.

So hiring illegal aliens is patriotic? Buying illicit drugs coming up from Mexico is patriotic? So allowing drunk illegal aliens driving without licenses on our roads is patriotic? Giving free health care to illegal aliens that Americans pay for by working two jobs is patriotic? Free schooling also? MS 13 and other gangs entering our cities and towns, murdering us, is patriotic? Learn another language yourself, Obama; I choose to speak English in America! You can live in France , Mercy Boucoup.....
