Do I Actually Agree With Putin?

Vladimir Putin’s Speech on August 04, 2013. This is one time our elected leaders should pay attention to the advice of Vladimir Putin.... How scary is that?

On August 04, 2013, Vladimir Putin, the Russian president, addressed the Duma, (Russian Parliament), and gave a speech about the tensions with minorities in Russia:

"In Russia live like Russians. Any minority, from anywhere, if it wants to live in Russia, to work and eat in Russia, should speak Russian, and should respect the Russian laws. If they prefer Sharia Law, and live the life of Muslim's, then we advise them to go to those places where that's the state law.

Russia does not need Muslim minorities. Minorities need Russia, and we will not grant them special privileges, or try to change our laws to fit their desires, no matter how loud they yell 'discrimination'.

We will not tolerate disrespect of our Russian culture. We better learn from the suicides of America, England, Holland and France, if we are to survive as a nation. The Muslims are taking over those countries and they will not take over Russia.

The Russian customs and traditions are not compatible with the lack of culture or the primitive ways of Sharia Law and Muslims. When this honorable legislative body thinks of creating new laws, it should have in mind the Russian national interest first, observing that the Muslim Minorities Are Not Russians." The politicians in the Duma gave Putin a five minute standing ovation.

It is a sad day when a Communist makes more sense than Barack Hussein Obama........ but here it is.

Wasn't something very similar to this attributed to the Australian Prime Minister a couple of years ago?

Other countries do not have wimpy politicans who cave to any leftwing lobby group. The people who came from other countries want the U.S. to change to fit there ways. I agree with the statement respect our country and its ideals and customs or go back to where you came from!! ftd

Go back and substitute "America" everywhere it says "Russia" and American President (with a back bone) where it refers to Putin and it would be a great statement!
I guess on this point I'll have to agree with Putin.

I copied that from an e-mail a buddy sent to me. I hope we, as a Nation, will be able to regain our perspective some day.
