Focus on America first
By Alkansa el-Badawi
It’s time for voters to
focus on the future and reject candidates who won’t put
Any candidate who finds it
necessary to pledge his loyalty to another country should be politely invited to
go to that country and run for office there!
Too often we see and hear
them telling us how firm a supporter they are for a certain foreign country:
Obviously they are letting
us know that they have divided loyalties.
That other country doesn’t
tolerate its candidates for public office to pledge loyalty to

one you consider honest and concerned for the well-being of Americans just
because they have no chance this year, you are dooming yourself (and the future
generations) to an endless stream of crooks, liars, thieves, and
bought-and-paid-for politicians.
And guess who’s to blame?
