Finally, someone said it, plan & simple.

Australian Prime Minister does it again!!

This man should be appointed King of the World. Truer words have never been spoken.
This should be a world wide rule. If you want to move to any country and become part of that country…WELCOME, But if want to change anything in that new country you wish to live in …..GOODBYE

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 Austrilia’s beliefs. Yes, allow those that want to come, to come. But understand that if you want to go to a country not of your birth, you should expect to live by their rules and respect their ways of life. This doesn’t mean you have to give up yours. I think he explains it very well.

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.’

djia…agree with your POV…she is doing it her ‘own’ way…and smiling and upbeat while she is at it…they want to hurt her so bad and bring her down…but she marches on with a very full life and leaves them in her dust…very Hillaryesque!

I hope that she will shut them down and start talking about relevant topics and show she has not only beauty…but brains…it is up to her…

Vogue’s Jonathan Van Meter Followed the Secretary of State for 12 Days, and Shares His Impressions

(CBS) It’s been almost a year since President Obama nominated his former rival in the presidential race of 2008, Hillary Clinton, to be Secretary of State. Now that she’s no longer running for office, the rest of the world is getting to see what Clinton is really like. In the December issue of Vogue magazine, contributing editor Jonathan Van Meter tells of his experiences following Clinton for twelve days.

By Joy Lin

Were it not for Barack Obama’s persistence, Hillary Clinton would never have been Secretary of State, writes Jonathan Van Meter, contributing editor for Vogue. He interviewed her for the December issue, which hits stands November 24.

“She said she was completely ’stunned’ when Barack Obama asked her,” Van Meter told “The Early Show.” “She didn’t want to do the job.”

After traveling with her on her trip to Africa, Van Meter had lunch with Clinton in her private dining room at the State Department. With two aides at her side, Clinton recalled the span of ten days during which then-elect President Obama courted her for the position. “He kept calling her and calling her and, at the end of the day, he was the one who sold the deal,” said Van Meter.

Van Meter said he was most surprised by her stamina and demeanor while traveling with Secretary Clinton during her seven-nation tour of Africa. She attracted crowds wherever she went. “She’s a flirt, she teases people,” he recalled. “She’s a charmer. Maybe it has to do with the fact she’s no longer running for office. She can relax. I may be encountering her at the very moment in her life that she’s finally able to be herself and not worry about the scrutiny to win an election.”

There was an exception, however, to all the fanfare surrounding her visit to the continent. Van Meter was with Clinton at Kinshasa University when she made a remark heard around the world. When a question from the audience was mistranslated to, “What does Mr. Clinton think, through the mouth of Mrs. Clinton, about the weighty issue of Chinese trade in Africa?” she took off her earphones and said, “Wait, you want me to tell you what my husband thinks? My husband is not Secretary of State. I am.”

“The audience was uniformly hostile,” recalled Van Meter. “The crowd was filled with suspicion of Westerners and their policies. … She was really surprised, I think, by how hostile the questions were.”

Miliband’s so vibrant – Clinton

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has lavished praise on her UK counterpart David Miliband in an interview with Vogue magazine. Mrs Clinton described the 44-year-old foreign secretary as “vibrant, vital, attractive, smart”.

The two politicians have met several times since Mrs Clinton took up her role January.

The article also quotes Mr Miliband as returning the compliment, saying Mrs Clinton was “delightful to deal with”.

In a lengthy piece in Vogue the interviewer jokes at one stage about having a crush on Mr Miliband after talking to him on the phone because of his British accent.

“Well, if you saw him it would be a big crush. I mean, he is so vibrant, vital, attractive, smart. He’s really a good guy. And he’s so young,” Mrs Clinton replied.

Mrs Clinton’s first visit to the UK in her new role, in February, saw much being made in the British press of the fact she has referred to the “special relationship” between Britain and the US.

Speaking to Sky News at the time Mr Miliband said she “couldn’t have been warmer” and praised Mrs Clinton’s “remarkable record”.

I agree. I also am not a huge fan for the same reason but am angry with the dims and media’s treatment of her.

LMAO!
