The Twilight Zone

clairecmc:

I feel that I’m in an alternative universe. For eight years some people called anyone who disagreed with the President’s foreign policy or war in Iraq unpatriotic. Then in the course of two weeks, those same people cheer when the United States does not get selected for the Olympics and boo when our President is the unanimous choice for the Nobel Peace Prize . Go figure.

Congratulations Mr. President for standing up to the scorn and derision of your opponents in the election when you firmly stood for the proposition that strength meant being willing to talk to your enemies, not just your allies. Thank you for the confidence and wisdom to say that we will unclench our fist when a hand is extended. And thank you for understanding that our national security rests on our principles, the example we set for the world,and our alliances rather than exclusively the excellence and stregnth of our military. God Bless America.
