The Right to Leave!!

The following head lines appeared in the news recently,

"Graham Booted From Pentagon Prayer Event"...

It seems that a few Muslim service personnel objected to Franklin Graham, the son of famed minister Billy Graham, speaking on May 6 at a National Day of Prayer event organized by a Colorado group chaired by Shirley Dobson, wife of Focus on the Family founder James Dobson. Graham was previously scheduled to speak. But in a statement released Thursday, Graham said the Pentagon had changed its mind due to pressure from the Muslim group. Graham had recently stated that Islam is an evil religion.

Well, lets look at current news......
Muslims are killing and persecuting Christians in their own countries, while demanding their religious freedom in the United States and in the West.
Recent events speak for themselves.

• For example, in Nigeria machete wielding Muslim hordes hacked Christian to death and burned their villages.
• A local man in Turkey converted to Christianity and had to flee for his life due to Muslim death squads.
• In Bangladesh, Muslim mobs are torturing and killing Christians.
• In Iran, a young Iranian college girl converted to Christianity. She was arrested, raped and murdered. Her cousin and her husband, who also had converted, fled their home and immigrated to the United States to escape the death sentence. They have Islamic murder squads after them now.
• The September 11 massacre of 3,000 Americans in the Twin Towers was carried out by Islamic terrorists.
• In Cleveland, Ohio when the news of the destruction of the Twin Towers, Muslim crowds were dancing in the streets celebrating!
• November 2009, Nidal Malik Hasan, of Palestinian descent, yelled "Allah Akbar" as he mowed down and killed 13 US soldiers and wounded 32 others at Fort Hood.
• Christians are being slaughtered in Pakistan, Indonesia, Ethiopia, Sudan and many other Muslim nations.

Franklin Graham, known world-wide for Samaritan's Purse that has met urgent human needs in 100 countries, was merely exercising an American right, freedom of speech. Secondly, he was telling the truth! Muslim actions speak louder than Muslim theology. I challenge anyone to go to Saudi Arabia or any Muslim country and proclaim his Christian faith. He would be silenced quickly and permanently. Yet, Muslims are free to voice their opinions here and pressure our "politically correct" governmental officials into discriminating against a great American and Christian, Franklin Graham for exercising his freedom of speech.

America was founded as and is a CHRISTIAN NATION, even though our current president declares we are not. Our Christian culture has accepted and granted freedom of worship, freedom of speech, freedom of movement and protection to a multiplicity of religious, ethnic and immigrant groups who have come to our shores. It was a Christian nation who granted them these freedoms. Look world wide and find a Muslim nation that will allow the same. You will not find any.
It is time that we Americans take back our country. Enough is enough! The following advice is attributed to former Australian Prime Minister John Howard. It think it accurately expresses how many patriotic Americans are feeling right now......
"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 didn't force you to come here. You asked to be here. So accept the country YOU accepted.'

AMEN, MR. HOWARD!!

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!

Arizona's new immigration law is under fire by Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and the those in sympathy with the invasion of our nation by illegal immigrants. However, let's take a look at what is behind Arizona's reasoning for taking such an action.

A report issued by Maricopa County's Attorney General Andrew Thomas in October 2008 revealed the extent of Arizona's problem with crime committed by illegal immigrants......

In 2007, illegal immigrants accounted for:
10% of sex crimes convictions
11% of murders convictions
13% of stolen cars convictions
13% of aggravated assaults convictions
17% of those sentenced for violent crimes
19% of those sentenced for property crimes
20% of those sentenced for felony DUI
21% of crimes committed with weapons
34% of those sentenced for the manufacture, sale or transport of drugs
36% of those sentenced for kidnapping
44% of forgeries 50% of those sentenced for crimes related to "chop shops"
85% of false ID convictions
96% of smuggling convictions

Illegal immigrants make up 19 percent of those convicted of crimes in Maricopa County and 21 percent of those in county jails. Illegal immigrants make up an estimated 9 percent of the county's population.
It is estimated that each violent crime costs citizens $20,000 and each property crime costs citizens $4363 per offense.

Arizona had to take action because the federal government has done nothing to protect our borders. Protesters and publicity-seeking public personalities are raising the race card by saying the law is targeting Hispanics unfairly. However, it is not thousands of Canadians that are slipping across our border. It is illegal aliens from Mexico! That is not racist, it is fact!

How does Mexico handle illegal immigration? Mexico forbids illegal immigration. The penalty for crossing the border illegally is a felony and two years in prison. Mexico fines or puts illegal aliens in prison if they commit marriage fraud for citizenship. Mexico fines or puts is prison illegal aliens for document fraud. Mexico puts illegal aliens in prison for ten years if they re enter the country illegally a second time after deportation.

This not just an Arizona problem, it is a national crisis. I recently spoke with an alien from Mexico. In the course of our conversation, he shared that he was here illegally, was driving with no license and no insurance and discussed how false documents such as social security numbers were being used to get jobs. When my ancestors came here from Germany, they did not sneak across the border, falsify documents to get a job, or continue to speak the German language. They came here legally. They learned to speak English. They sought to become part of the American culture and nation.

If anyone from any nation wants to immigrate to America, let them do it legally. Congress should adopt the same laws that Mexico has for illegal immigration. It is time that this invasion of our nation by illegal aliens is stopped. Enough is enough!!
