I completely agree with this. You've got to remember that the liberals
hate America, and it shows by the contempt they show for 9/11 victims.
President Bush stepped up to the plate when it counted, and he defended
the homeland. If a Democrat had been in office, right now Saddam would be
stockpiling WMD and supplying Al Quaeda to attack the US again. If we'd
had an allegedly Moslem President on 9/11, possibly not even born in the
USA, where would his sympathies have lain?
The world needs America's moral leadership, bringing freedom and democracy
to hostile countries. In 2012 the people of our great nation will once
again elect a President who espouses these great Christian values of our
heritage.
