The most presidential lorem ipsum in history.
And this restlessness - this search for meaning - is familiar to me. That's the promise of America - the idea that we are responsible for ourselves, but that we also rise or fall as one nation; the fundamental belief that I am my brother's keeper; I am my sister's keeper. And I believe that America holds within her the truth that regardless of race, religion, or station in life, all of us share common aspirations - to live in peace and security; to get an education and to work with dignity; to love our families, our communities, and our God.
He told me he'd joined the Marines, and was heading to Iraq the following week. It's time for us to change America. It will require a renewed sense of responsibility from each of us to recover what John F. And that's what we have to restore. We also know that military power alone is not going to solve the problems in Afghanistan and Pakistan. The people of the world can live together in peace.
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. Now, some of you may have heard me talk about the Joshua generation. Talk show hosts and conservative commentators built entire careers unmasking bogus claims of racism while dismissing legitimate discussions of racial injustice and inequality as mere political correctness or reverse racism. This time we want to talk about the shuttered mills that once provided a decent life for men and women of every race, and the homes for sale that once belonged to Americans from every religion, every region, every walk of life. Out of work? Tough luck. On economic development, we will create a new corps of business volunteers to partner with counterparts in Muslim-majority countries.
For we have a choice in this country. And nothing will change. Rather than remain trapped in the past, I have made it clear to Iran's leaders and people that my country is prepared to move forward. America respects the right of all peaceful and law-abiding voices to be heard around the world, even if we disagree with them. There need not be contradiction between development and tradition.
In this election, we offer that choice. It came about as a choice, and not an epiphany. Anger over welfare and affirmative action helped forge the Reagan Coalition. When Washington doesn't work, all its promises seem empty. And just as it devastates Palestinian families, the continuing humanitarian crisis in Gaza does not serve Israel's security; neither does the continuing lack of opportunity in the West Bank.
Thank you, God Bless you, and God Bless the United States of America.
