You Go, Mate!!!

Often forgotten (on purpose, no doubt) in the media, our staunch allies in Australia are people of character and strength. John Howard is one of my favorite world leaders- he always tells it like it is, and he's absolutely unfazed by liberal critiques of his words and policies.

Recently, he said that immigrants needed to conform to Australian values, learn the language, and treat women with respect. Common sense stuff, right? Well, if you've been paying attention, you will know that these comments absolutely enraged the muslims... you would think that he called their mothers ugly or something. Anyway, the seething ensued and then the threats of how his comments will cause more terrorism (?? Yeah... that one gave me a headache, too), and all the rest of the media supported backlash against a good man who spoke the truth.

Mr. Howard's answer to the whiners?

[[ "I don't apologise," he told reporters.

"I think they are missing the point and the point is that I don't care and the Australian people don't care where people come from.

"There's a small section of the Islamic population which is unwilling to integrate and I have said generally all migrants ... they have to integrate." ]]

Wow. That probably didn't go over too well. Go now and read the rest to see more of the fun.
