    Default If You Are An Australian Be One

    Our Country - YOU Have the right - the right to leave !

    After Sydney not wanting to offend other cultures by putting up Xmas
    lights.

    After hearing that the State of South Australia changed its opinion and
    let a Muslim woman have her picture on her driver's license with her
    face covered.

    This prompted this editorial written by an Australian citizen.
    Published in an Australian newspaper.

    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 come 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 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!

    "In God We Trust" is our National Motto. This is not some Christian,
    right wing, political slogan. We adopted this motto 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.

    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.

    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 National Motto, 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.
    Pretty easy really, when you think about it.

    I figure if we all keep passing this to our friends (and enemies) it
    will also, sooner or later get back to the complainers,
    lets all try, please.

    No passport here either, haven't even been to SA, WA and NT yet. I figure haven't seen all of my own country why would I want to go over seas. Over seas for me is driving over to Bribie Island.

    An email that gets passed around

    Sir Edmund Barton's ideas on Immigrants and being an Australian in 1907

    'In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an Australian
    and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else,
    for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin.
    But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an Australian, and nothing but an Australian...
    There can be no divided allegiance here.
    Any man who says he is an Australian, but something else also, isn't an Australian at all.
    We have room for but one flag, the Australian flag....
    We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...
    and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the Australian people.'
    Edmund Barton
    1907


    Detailed Analysis

    A emailed quote on guidelines for the assimilation of migrants in to Australian society was not written by Australian Prime Minister Edmund Barton
    This emailed message, which contains a quote discussing the need for immigrants to assimilate fully to the Australian way of life, claims that the words were spoken by Australia's first Prime Minister Edmund Barton back in the year 1907. An old photograph captioned with the words "Edmund Barton 1907" is also included in the message. The quote suggests that immigrants to Australia should be treated with equality and without discrimination, but only if they are willing to become "in every facet an Australian, and nothing but an Australian". Many 21st Century Australians are likely to agree with this view of immigration and therefore view the quote is still relevant. So much so that they might eagerly comply with the email's request to keep the quote moving "until every Australian with a computer receives it".

    Even if he didn't write it the words are true. I respect anyone who comes to this country and becomes Australian but I don't care for those who don't. If they want to practise a way of life they had in their own country then stay there.

    We are rapidly eroding the Australian way of life and national identity cowtowing to every ethnic minority that doesn't like something about our country.

    As the topic of this post says if you want to be an Australian then be one. If you don't like or don't accept our way of life then close the door behind you when you leave because there is no room for you here.
    Cheers
