Lets's Hear From Any Expats in Oz!

If you are a U.S. expat living in Australia, lets hear from you. Its time for us to build the community Down Under and spread the word to other fellow expats.

Here are a couple notable quotes that I found recently from two of the greatest Presidents in American history... Very interesting indeed:

"Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official, save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country. In either event, it is unpatriotic not to tell the truth, whether about the president or anyone else" -- Theodore Roosevelt, 26th President of the United States

“Trusting to escape scrutiny by fixing the public gaze upon the exceeding brightness of military glory, that attractive rainbow that rises in showers of blood —that serpent’s eye, that charms to destroy,
he plunged into war.” --Abraham Lincoln, speaking of James Polk.

Hello, Chad,

I'm a London-based Amer. expat and have been at meetings with Luke Robinson of Expats Against Bush in regard to Bush's visit to London last month.

I'm actually in Sydney right now for a few weeks so if your group is meeting up in this town before 10 Jan., please let me know. Would like to hear what sort of response you're getting.

By the way, I like the quotes you found from Teddy R. and old Abe for your website.

My local phone no. is 02 9810 4884 or e-mail: ejb@pavilion.co.uk

Regards,

Lizz

You sound like a bunch of liberal, left wing, socialist slimes. :) Get a life!
