John Kerry’s Speech – Democratic National Convention Official Site

This was another fantastic speech. Even better than Obama’s. This speech was full of hope and stressed the unification of our nation. Click the link above to go listen.

Here is a snip:

“You see that flag up there. We call her Old Glory. The stars and stripes forever. I fought under that flag, as did so many of you here and all across our country. That flag flew from the gun turret right behind my head. It was shot through and through and tattered, but it never ceased to wave in the wind. It draped the caskets of men I served with and friends I grew up with. For us, that flag is the most powerful symbol of who we are and what we believe in. Our strength. Our diversity. Our love of country. All that makes America both great and good.

That flag doesn’t belong to any president. It doesn’t belong to any ideology and it doesn’t belong to any political party. It belongs to all the American people. “

Listen to this speech (or read it) and you will agree with me: this is a president we can all be proud of.

    Monica,
    This is a great post to your website. Coming from you with emotion and passion. I like the way that you raise the bar on the issues of such things as religion and politics. Your comments make thinkers think, while others would just react. Kudos.
