Tell Me How You Really Feel

So my wonderful, beautiful wife Holly Rodrigo gets these random emails from a source to remain anonymous that are the upmost cheesiest of christian emails. She doesn't even know how she got on the mailing list of this particular source. So she forwards me this particular email infuriated by the tone and underlying agenda that was presented by the un-named source. I kinda got mad as well as I continued to read. What do you all think about this? Below is the email that was sent to holly:

This is the ticket! : ) <------this is the unnamed source

:America needs a President like this <-----as is this


Prime Minister John Howard - Australia <------this is where the beginning of the forwarded transcript begins

Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law were told on Wednesday to get out ofAustralia, as the government targeted radicals in a bid to head off potential terror attacks.

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'.

'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.'

'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 idn't force you to come here. You asked to be here. So accept the country YOU accepted.'

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

If you agree, please SEND THIS ON.

I can't even believe someone would put this in writing. How hateful and ignorant! I have to admit that I got a little angry too. Whatever happened to "love your neighbor as yourself"? By the way, I've been showing that video of Audrey giving an obligatory smile to everyone. She reminds me of you and Holly more and more as her personality comes out. :-)
