The most presidential lorem ipsum in history.
On November 4th, we must stand up and say: "Eight is enough." The fundamentals we use to measure economic strength are whether we are living up to that fundamental promise that has made this country great - a promise that is the only reason I am standing here tonight. They have not served a Red America or a Blue America - they have served the United States of America. I know, too, that Islam has always been a part of America's story. At the same time, Israelis must acknowledge that just as Israel's right to exist cannot be denied, neither can Palestine's. America will align our policies with those who pursue peace, and say in public what we say in private to Israelis and Palestinians and Arabs.
And although she can no longer travel, I know that she's watching tonight, and that tonight is her night as well. Without these ingredients, elections alone do not make true democracy.
I understand you switched venues at considerable expense and inconvenience because of unfair labor practices at the place you were going to be having this synod. And in all these ways, they helped make this country more decent and more just. Don't tell me that Democrats won't keep us safe. Many wait in refugee camps in the West Bank, Gaza, and neighboring lands for a life of peace and security that they have never been able to lead.
And as I listened to him explain why he'd enlisted, the absolute faith he had in our country and its leaders, his devotion to duty and service, I thought this young man was all that any of us might hope for in a child. But I've got news for them, too. This belief comes from my unyielding faith in the decency and generosity of the American people.
In this election, we offer that choice. The pundits, the pundits like to slice-and-dice our country into Red States and Blue States; Red States for Republicans, Blue States for Democrats. And I heard Reverend Jeremiah A. It's a journey that takes us back to our nation's founding, when none other than a UCC church inspired the Boston Tea Party and helped bring an Empire to its knees. On the other end, we've heard my former pastor, Reverend Jeremiah Wright, use incendiary language to express views that have the potential not only to widen the racial divide, but views that denigrate both the greatness and the goodness of our nation; that rightly offend white and black alike. Part of this conviction is rooted in my own experience.
Thank you, God Bless you, and God Bless the United States of America.
