وطني

This election is a chance for our Country to tell the merchants of fear and division:

you don't decide who loves this country;

you don't decide who is a patriot;

you don't decide whose service counts and whose doesn't.

Four years ago I said, and I say it again tonight, that the flag doesn't belong to any ideology.

It doesn't belong to any political party.

It is an enduring symbol of our nation, and it belongs to all of our people.

After all, patriotism is not love of power or some cheap trick to win votes;

patriotism is love of country.

Years ago when we protested a war,

people would weigh in against us saying, "My country right or wrong."

Our answer? Absolutely, my country right or wrong.

When right, keep it right. When wrong, make it right.

Sometimes loving your country demands you must tell the truth to power.

This is one of those times !!

تعليقي

متى نتعلم شيئاً مفيداً من الأمريكان ؟

نعيش لسنين طويلة هناك

نتطبع بأطباعهم ، نقتبس رذائل الصفات فيهم

و لكن نبقى قاصرين في تحضرنا و تعاملنا مع الآخرين

لذلك هم يعيشون حضارة اليوم و الغد

و لهذا نحن نقبع أسفل سافلين و لا طريق لنا إلا للأسفل حتى نصل قاع المحيط

للأسف !! 9
