"So, you're saying you are skinny and have short hair?"
Short hair that has recently and dramatically turned grey after the intelligence briefings?
I guess he now knows President Bush & Company (Our Military) have been doing a great job keeping us safe.
Anyway, I'll support our 44th President come January 20th...

I appreciate all the freedoms we have and truly thank those that went before me who fought to provide my freedom and way of life.
That makes me proud of the freedom our country has been able to give others around the world. I hope someday all these other countries will recognize the gift they have been given and pass it on.

Freedom is the thing that has made America great. It was perhaps a happy accident that the country was founded when the best minds in the world were throwing off the yoke of rule by monarchies and colonialism. We were mostly without the excesses of the past and the first to grant the individual freedoms that made us different from the rest of the world.
When you examine the country from a historical view, it is likely we have done more good for the world than any other group of people. Don't take it lightly and remember those who have died to preserve it.
Never cede your freedoms for any reason, they may never return, and remember that many on this planet will never experience what we have here.

Amen. We have inherited great freedoms and have a collective responsibility to protect them. Some choose to accept this responsibility, while many ignore it or worse...take it for granted.
