People do have absolute rights and every government should protect those rights. You have rights in your own home which is not and should be extended to your neighbors who may wish to enter your home and overthrow your rights. An excellent illustration of this conclusion is illlustrated in the following article I wrote on Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day in 2006, which is copied below. The article was posted on blogs and flung around the world. for awhile, I thought perhaps a terrorist would read it and knock on my door with bombs strapped on his body. Then I decided that terrorists cannot read, so why worry. If they could read, they would know to not inflict their religious dogmas on others to steal their rights and their lives. Please read, vote and send me an email soon. I get lonely.

AUSTRALIAN ATTITUDE
Australia, December 7, 2006 December 7, 1942, began World War II for all free nations everywhere. Until the end of time this date is indelibly imprinted as Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day to remind us that horrors come alive when madmen run rampant. Now, on the threshold of World War Three, sentiments of free nations are just now beginning to echo the Australian Attitude.
Prime Minister John Howard and governmental Ministers have targeted radicals to diminish the number of inevitable attacks by terrorists. Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia Law have been cordially invited to leave Australia if they do not accept that Australia is a secular state with laws made only by parliament
On national television Treasurer Peter Costello said, "I say to clerics who are teaching that there are two laws governing people in Australia, an Australian law and the Islamic law, their teaching is a lie. If you cannot agree with parliamentary law, independent courts, democracy, and would prefer Sharia law and you have the opportunity to go to another country, which practices [non-Australian laws], perhaps, then, that's a better option for you." Asked whether he meant radical clerics would be forced to leave, he said those with dual citizenship could possibly be asked to move to the other country.
Education Minister Brendan Nelson later told reporters that Muslims who did not want to accept local values should "clear off." Basically people who don't want to be Australians, and who do not want to live by Australian values and understand them, well then, they can basically clear off", he said.
Prime Minister John Howard angered some Australian Muslims by saying he supported the ASIO
