A New York Times columnist who is revered by liberal Democrats recently wrote, ``We've always known that America's reign as the world's greatest nation would eventually end.'' This may be the logical conclusion if we follow President Obama's policies, but it doesn't have to be true. We can reclaim America's greatness--not lose it--if we focus on creating jobs in the private sector, not the government; reducing the deficit, not doubling it; providing health care to the long-term, low-income uninsured, not mandating a government takeover; and treating terrorists like terrorists, not local bank robbers. Let's listen to the American people and get our financial house in order and our priorities straight. Then we will stay the greatest nation.
