An American essay
It’s America’s
Security, Stupid!
A
kind of civic-mindedness pulls me into the exciting process of
America’s democracy. I couldn’t help but reminisce about President
Bill Clinton’s campaign slogan.
So
now, presidential election 2008: “It’s America’s Security, Stupid!”
Consider
this as my heartfelt sharing. My patriotic feeling is that of prioritizing
between the global economic crisis and America’s national security.
Besides
the Iranian and North Korean nuclear issues, we are in war with global
Islamic extremists who will try to terrorize us with a new September 11.
In
a few short months President Bush will bid farewell to our sacred Oval
Office, which all our chief executives have sacredly treated, that is all except President
Clinton.
Sen.
Barrack Obama has engraved in our minds his linking of Sen. John McCain with
President George Bush, whom I, as a common citizen, felt honored to
shake hands with, as I did at the site of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in
the early morning of Veterans Day 2002.
On
the other hand, the liberal media have succeeded in putting aside both Sen. Barrack
Obama’s intimate connection with Pastor Jeremiah Wright, who
publicly denounced and cursed our good America in a sea of hateful
church-sermons and Obama’s former associates, who had a record of trying
to destroy our country by terrorism.
To
our beloved America, my prayer is with In God We Trust.
