Subject: Putin's short speech!

"The problems we face today are there because the people who work for a
living are now outnumbered by those who vote for a living."


On February 4th, 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 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, then we advise them to
go to those places where that's the state law. Russia does not need
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 better learn from the suicides of
America, England, Holland and France, if we are to survive as a nation. The
Russian customs and traditions are not compatible with the lack of culture
or the primitive ways of most minorities. When this honorable legislative
body thinks of creating new laws, it should have in mind the national
interest first, observing that the minorities are not Russians.

The politicians in the Duma gave Putin a five minute
standing ovation.
