George W. Bush: “This trade agreement is more than a matter of smart economics; it is a matter of national security.”

That is the America I know.

Violence and vitriol must be purged from the public square. Members of other political parties are not our enemies; they are our fellow citizens.

Is it in our national interests that 25 million people who would have died now live? I think it is, and so do you.

To you and the honored dead, our country is forever grateful.
