USA should take a page out of Australia's handbook!

Good luck, Donna.

There are people who are determined to believe that all of us simple American folks are just politically insensitive and ignorant, instead of sure of what we believe and ready to defend our culture.

There are people who are convinced that the USA, or worse, one particular President, is to blame for all the problems on the planet.

I despise political correctness. It is at the root of the confusion causing most of the problems we are experiencing.

I for one have the spine to fight this battle, but I'll find another hill.

AMEN~~~I agree completely! You should have tried to get a word on the political board...Dem/Rep poll. It will almost be a relief to get a different President in and see who they blame everything on then!

It would be easy for the Republicans if Hillary becomes president.

They will not have to learn anything new (God forbid).

They will start saying, "everything is Clinton's fault" again. :faint:

I do not despise anything and when someone disagrees with me I listen to their argument because it may in fact hold merit. Many times however I find it only reinforces my beliefs. This is especially true when the premise put forward is that the individual is prepared to engage in battle to backup their beliefs.

It never ceases to amaze me when the politically incorrect can't figure out why the people they are blowing up don't like them.

This is why Howard is so popular, I think. However Oz has a much bigger problem with extremists and things came to a head when there were riots last year.

I'm glad Aussies are finally standing up to extremists--yes, we could take a page from their book.

Yes, the USA definitely needs to stand up to the extremists. It is about time that the Christian fundamentalist extremists learn that the USA is a country of laws and that the Christian Bible can not over-rule the Constitution of the United States. When the members of the UnChristian Never-Right political movement learn that simple idea, the USA will be a better place to live.

Melati...Australia does not have a problem with extremists.....we have a problem with migrants (Muslims in particular) NOT assimilating into our society.

We Aussies are a pretty laid back bunch but we DO NOT appreciate people coming to our country and not abiding by our laws.

The Aust government has told migrants if they are not prepared to live by the laws of our land then they should leave and I believe 99.9% of the country would agree with that.

The riots last December had NOTHING to do with extremists and EVERYTHING to do with Muslims disrespecting Australians and our culture (an example of this is what sparked the riots in Australia last December.....For years Muslim men have been harassing Aussie women/girls at Cronulla beach, a lifeguard told the men to stop or they would call the police, the Muslim men attacked the lifeguard then several Aussie men jumped into the fight.....it escalated from there into the riots.)

I think it is a shame that it came to that....... but how much can a tolerant society actually tolerate???
