Treasurer Peter Costello, Australia

Australia, specifically Treasurer Peter Costello, needs to be our next president or take Kofi Annas' spot in the U.N.

Treasurer Peter Costello made some comments back in 2005 that I did not hear about and really have never heard of him until today. But today I would vote for him in either spot above. His comments, that I will put in here below, are truly comments that should come from every democratic state all around the world. But no one has the courage to say it but him.

Mr. Costello, I applaud you for knowing what needs to be done and saying it!

This is exactly why the eastern world thinks the United States is weak. No one in authority in the U.S. would dare say anything like this. But they should!

This is The United States of America. This is not

Mexico

Iraq

Canada

Lebanon

Or any other country.

I agree with his statements below 500% If you come to America you need to learn our laws, our language, respect and hold up our flag, not one of Mexico. I don't care if you are white ,black ,blue, or red. If you want to live here in America do as the Americans do, period.

Maybe if we circulate this amongst ourselves, American
citizens will find the backbone to start speaking and voting the same
truths!

Now for Mr. Treasurer Peter Costello's' comments.

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.

A day after a group of mainstream Muslim leaders
pledged loyalty to Australia and her Queen at a special meeting with
Prime Minister John Howard, he and his Ministers made it clear that
extremists would face a crackdown. Treasurer Peter Costello, seen as heir
apparent to Howard, hinted that some radical clerics could be asked to
leave the country if they did not accept that Australia was a secular state,
and its laws were made by parliament "If those are not your values, if
you want a country which has Sharia law or a theocratic state, then
Australia is not for you," he said on national television.

"I'd be saying to clerics who are teaching that there are two laws governing

people in Australia: one the Australian law and another the Islamic law,

that is false. If you can't agree with parliamentary law, independent courts,

democracy, and would prefer Sharia law and have the opportunity to go to

another country, which practices it, perhaps, then, that's a better option,"

Costello said. Asked whether he meant radical clerics would be forced
to leave, he said those with dual citizenship could possibly be asked to
move to the other country. Education Minister Brendan Nelson later told
reporters that Muslims who did not want to accept local values should
"clear off. Basically people who don't want to be Australians, and who
don't want! to live by Australian values and understand them, well then,
they can basically clear off," he said.

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."

"However, the dust from the attacks had barely settled
when the 'politically correct' crowd began complaining about the
possibility that our patriotism was offending others. I am not against
immigration, nor do I hold a grudge against anyone who is seeking a
better life by coming to Australia." "However, there are a few things
that those who have recently com to our country, and apparently

some born here, need to understand." "This idea of Australia being

a multicultural community has served only to dilute our sovereignty

and our national identity. As Australians, we have our own culture,

our own society, our own language and our own lifestyle."

"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."

"If the Southern Cross offends you, or you don't like "
A Fair Go," then you should seriously consider a move to another part of
this planet. We are happy with our culture and have no desire to change,
and we really don't care how you did things where you came from. By all
means, keep your culture, but do not force it on others.

"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."
