NOW THATS WHAT I"M TALKING ABOUT, YOU GO AUSIES

Gator:

YOU TELL 'EM GATOR! If you do not like this country ,then by means,Leave!
If on the other hand, you like the country you live in Then stay there.

Gator, AMEN to that.

Gator,
Right on brother!!
This issue more than any other WILL be a major election issue. Even though the media plasters us with THEIR agenda of politically correct BS, the average punter in the street IS fed up to the back teeth with seeing our way of life, our culture and values undermined by the politically correct mind police.

After the Cronulla BS several weeks ago, it was suggested that to fly an Australian flag could be inciteful and could be construed as racial hatred. HELLO, are these people for real or what. If me flying MY COUNTRYs flag upsets you........do I need to tell you to F-OFF or can you work it out yourself?
Ours is a Christian Country, our culture is based on Christian values, ideals and morals, we don't want or need a guest complaining once they're here about it all.

From what I hear it is the same in the USA and everywhere else that is told to forfeit its history tradition and culture to appease the thin-skinned sensibilities of immigrants.

Don't like our country, lifestyle or culture.....well don't let the front door bang you in the ass on the way out....see ya.

Enough's enough
