The most presidential lorem ipsum in history.
Back home, my grandmother raised their baby and went to work on a bomber assembly line. I believe we can provide jobs to the jobless, homes to the homeless, and reclaim young people in cities across America from violence and despair. He is a man who served his country as a U.S. Marine; who has studied and lectured at some of the finest universities and seminaries in the country, and who for over thirty years led a church that serves the community by doing God's work here on Earth - by housing the homeless, ministering to the needy, providing day care services and scholarships and prison ministries, and reaching out to those suffering from HIV/AIDS. But it was not violence that won full and equal rights.
And just as Lieutenant Kerry did not hesitate to risk his life to protect the men who served with him in Vietnam, President Kerry will not hesitate one moment to use our military might to keep America safe and secure. I have a plan that would have already begun redeploying our troops with the goal of bringing all our combat brigades home by March 31st of next year. That experience guides my conviction that partnership between America and Islam must be based on what Islam is, not what it isn't.
"If you're organizing churches," they said, "it might be helpful if you went to church once in a while." And I thought, "Well, I guess that makes sense." But all of us must recognize that education and innovation will be the currency of the 21st century, and in too many Muslim communities there remains underinvestment in these areas.
Of course, the answer to the slavery question was already embedded within our Constitution - a Constitution that had at is very core the ideal of equal citizenship under the law; a Constitution that promised its people liberty, and justice, and a union that could be and should be perfected over time. I will rebuild our military to meet future conflicts. The times are too serious, the stakes are too high for this same partisan playbook. Finally, I want to discuss economic development and opportunity.
Well, I say to them tonight, there is not a liberal America and a conservative America - there is the United States of America. The hope of immigrants setting out for distant shores. At various stages in the campaign, some commentators have deemed me either "too black" or "not black enough." We saw racial tensions bubble to the surface during the week before the South Carolina primary. Contrary to the claims of some of my critics, black and white, I have never been so naive as to believe that we can get beyond our racial divisions in a single election cycle, or with a single candidacy - particularly a candidacy as imperfect as my own. This last point is important because there are some who advocate for democracy only when they are out of power; once in power, they are ruthless in suppressing the rights of others.
Thank you.
