He's not racist, he's attacking the government (namely elected politicians). It's the same reason Wright said he was coming after Obama, if he is elected. Americans are funny though, the government is like an abusive parent. They don't like it, but they sure as hell don't want some black preacher casting aspersions upon it.

I think you'll find more hatred towards the US government by US citizens themselves than you will anywhere else. There are like 300+ million of us, and less than 33% support the current government. But then again Bush has thoroughly pissed off the entire world for us so maybe I'm wrong.

America Needs A Leader Like This!

Prime Minister John Howard - 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, 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.'
Maybe if we circulate this amongst ourselves, American citizens will find the backbone to start speaking and voicing the same truths.
If you agree ... please SEND THIS ON

Is this really asking to much? I think not..

Thankfully, that is now EX Prime Minister Howard. Good Riddance. Now he's become a nobody. The man is an antique and belongs in the 1950's - unsurprisingly he got on real weal with your George (partly because he was always a good little ally and did everything George told him to do without exception - which made him even more of a joke back home).

Maybe I should re-phrase. Setting aside questions of electability, is McCain still your first choice, or is/was there somebody else you would have liked to see get the GOP nomination?

Hi Iandefor.

Ok I got ya sorry..yes I did consider Ron Paul but did not know alot about him, but I know he is conservative and the choice of the Christians..I listen 91.5 Christian radio and 97.5 talk net..so I really hadnt made up my mind as it would not have mattered anyway.. McCain is the chosen nominee so of course that is who I will vote for.. I like to see a more strong military type in the White House. Not as to bully people around..but there conversations are well guarded, they dont have to keep looking over their shoulders..then again I suppose in the White House that is exactly what you do..Coy and assertive does not work in todays world un-fortunately with a president..We need a man with back-bone in the White House..someone who wont back down..

HI Ras..
I was encouraged to run for a possible position for alderman with Affton years back by several surrounding neighbors who knew I was diligent with getting matters taken care of. However..with my past I knew the media would take me apart..

Funny you mention yourself running..I thought of that in the beginning of this post..Ras should just run,, he could probably clean up this military mess were are in..

Why couldnt you? I dont know your background but if its clean and you have some kind of credibility with the military..education..and overall people person, but I think anyone could run..really..you may have to shave off the temper a bit..but even so that would work with keeping people out of the U.S.A 's business and into their own..

Just a thought...

I just noticed this.

Not that I personally think that menstruation's a disqualifying factor, but Hillary's 61 years old. I can only hope for her sake she's not still doing the "monthly rounds".

Hi Iandefor..
This is possible that she is still in her menopausal stage..my mother was very late with hers. Not all women..but even so..Hillary? I guess no-one sees that its ok for your husband to have multiple affairs and it goes right over her head..what does that say about her?..no self esteem, which could bring inevitable un-deciding factors into play. She may easily bend to what other poeple in power would rather do for this country because she wants them to like her..its hard to explain..but by her allowing the man that she sais ( I love you ) too, then letting him walk all over her and screw anything that walks..well tell me, if this were a man it was happening to time and again, would your perspective then change? America does still have morals and could use a president who honors them,,

Hi MRiGnS
Of course its all about forgiveness and that is her right to do so..it has nothing to with sheer stupidity of repeated offences..bottom line..her issues can and will affect decision making in the White House, that sais something about her will in general to me, she strikes me as being easily persuaded by those in power around her in order for her to have favor with them.. as I was saying, has something to do with low self esteem, the evidence shows up in the fact that its REPEATED OFFENCES..HELOOOOOO.. once bitten twice shy..but with Hillary this does not apply..I mean c'mon already its not for me to forgive her..I dont know her personally, God forgives remember? I am to be led to do so..so by Gods grace can a person forgive? sure..that doesnt mean Hillary knows what she is doing because she forgives Bill. again..again..again..again..

So you only apply Christian values if you gain something from it, that sure is one hell of hypocrisy. It seems you call yourself a Christian because it's fashionable in some way.

A very slick video and should be food for thought for voters leaning towards McCain
