You are right Eric...but the lily livered politicians are so keen to get their votes, that they suck up to them........a local member of parliament is a prime example......I'm not posting his name, but I think you might know who I mean.
Look at the clown George Galloway - he has courted the muslim vote......let us hope he doesn't live to regret prostituting himself.
Like Kevin Rudd, I believe that those who come to this country must adapt to its ways...not t he other way around......if they do not like the western way of life, then they are quite free to go some other place that is more welcoming to them....this is a realists view, not a racist view.
There are many more people who think these thoughts, but are afraid of being labelled racist......this attitude stifles honest,healthy discussion.......which robs all of us.
