Prime Minister Julia Gillard of Australia - Another Iron Lady

In the world shadow of Iron Lady Margaret Thatcher, Prime Minister Julia Gillard - Australia sure isn't backing down on her hard line stance and one has to appreciate her belief in the rights of her native countrymen. A breath of fresh air to see someone lead. The whole world needs a leader like this, none more so than the United States!

Prime Minister Gillard told Australian Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law to get out of Australia, as the government targeted radicals in a bid to head off potential terror attacks.

Separately, Gillard angered some Australian Muslims by saying she 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."

The more things change, the more they stay the same,……

Clarence J. Brown (R-OH), taking a cue from Democrat President Harry S. Truman’s 1949 speech which was billed as a “pie for everyone” speech, was able to get the following poem into the Congressional record, citing it from a prominent Democrat from Georgia. I guess things haven't changed that much in 62 years,.....Democrats still buying votes with entitlement promises and programs. The biggest change in 62 years? The deficit of course, which is now at $15 trillion and counting.

In case you can’t read the document, here are the words to the poem:

DEMOCRAT DIALOG

Father, must I go to work?
No, my lucky son.
We’re living now on Easy Street
On dough from Washington

We’ve left it up to Uncle Sam,
So don’t get exercised.
Nobody has to give a damn –
We’ve all been subsidized.

But if Sam treats us all so well
And feeds us milk and honey,
Please, Daddy, tell me what the hell
He’s going to use for money.

Don’t worry. Bub, there’s not a hitch
In this here noble plan –
He simply soaks the filthy rich
And helps the common man.

But Father won’t there come a time
When they run out of cash
And we have left them not a dime
When things will go to smash?

My faith in you is shrinking, son,
You nosy little brat.
You do too much damn thinking, son.
To be a Democrat.

Things That Make You Go Mad

Transparency? Obama's campaign promise to have the most transparent government in history turns out just like Nancy Pelosi's promise of the same kind. Not! The Obama administration continues to keep things under wraps,...from executive orders, to hiding e-mails a concerning Fast and Furious, Solyndra and others,...and the most glaring non-transparent issue of our time, not to mention the Obama presidency is the non-release of school records, travel, employment,
passport and birth certificate. This continues to give fuel to the "Manchurian candidate" conspiracy buffs.

Congressional Corruption. Pelosi's makes money on stock IPO (initial purchase option or going public) after being involved in insider information pertaining to legislation on credit card companies. Pelosi's husband, San Francisco businessman Paul Pelosi, purchased millions in Visa stock just before Visa, also based in San Francisco, was undergoing a large IPO. Pelosi has failed to date to answer the question whether she considered it a conflict of interest for she and her husband to participate "in a very large IPO deal from Visa at a time there was major legislation affecting the credit card companies" making its way through Congress. Well, to be fair, Pelosi did answer the question in a manner befitting someone with something to hide,...."What you're contending is not true,...the fact is your basic premise is a false one.".....WHAT?

Failed Budget Budget Amendment. The House failed to pass a balanced budget amendment, largely on partisan lines.....the vote being 261 in favor and 165 opposed, short of the two-thirds majority needed to pass the amendment onto the Senate, where it would surely die anyway in a leftist controlled, Harry Reid led Senate. We are now over $15 Trillion in debt and the only something like 24 Democrats Congressmen voted for a balanced budget. With projected failure,
caused by Democratic sabotage, of the debt reduction committee's mission to cut $1.2 Trillion, this country will see inflation, more unemployment, people on the welfare and poverty rolls and another National credit rating reduction.

War Numbers Skewed. A reader sent me an editorial written by some idiot in South Texas who asked a rhetorical question to the effect "Ten years of war; Billions spent in Iraq and Afghanistan; 6,000 soldiers dead; where has that got us?" Well, I have some numbers for him: Two countries liberated; 50 million people freed; populations of several other countries now embracing freedom;
AND,.....None,...Zip,...Nada one terrorist attack on our homeland since Sept 11th, 2001.
