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.

Separately, Prime Minister John Howard angered some Australian Muslims on Wednesday by saying he supported spy agencies monitoring the nation’s mosques.

Many Americans are terrified about speaking the truth when someone else might become offended but I think that there are times when one MUST risk offending others. I completely agree with the sentiments as stated by the Australian PM. This is America and we, just like every other country, have traditions and customs which seem to be slowly eradicated as we become more “politically correct”. We seem in such an all-fired hurry to prove to the world how “enlightened” we are by being the uber “I’m OK, You’re OK So lets go save the world” society that we are turning our own into a soulless, generic version of the proud people we once were.

Today I thought I’d share this letter allegedly written by Donald Ruppert of Burlington, IA to his congressman, Tom Harkin. While I have no idea if this is letter represents truth or more internet fodder, I am very intrigued by the sentiments voiced.

As a Hispanic American, I find myself at odds with most of my fellow Hispanics on this issue. Unlike the vast majority of Hispanics in this country, I do not support the notion that illegal aliens should be handed over rights and privileges many, many American citizens do not enjoy.

While I do not propose we round up every last illegal and simply ship them out, I think it equally ridiculous to argue that we should just hand over citizenship, licenses and such. I don’t claim to have a great idea for the solution to all our immigration problems but I submit to you that just because I don’t how to fix something DOES NOT MEAN I CAN’T SEE IT’S BROKEN!

I hope you enjoy this letter as much as I did. I found it to be quite humorous.
