Much like the refugees from Cuba,
the Vietnamese vote GOP because they
know by personal tragedy that democrats
cannot be trusted with national security,
defense and all things military.

It's important to remember that POTUS
MEANS 'COMMANDER IN CHIEF'

You know, I apologize to every Vietnamese person I come across for the communists and cowards that gave their country to the north vietnamese.

My parents fled Czechoslovakia after the communist coup in 1948. Rebuilding their lives in America was wrenching, both because of the hardship of starting over and because they had left their families behind to face life in a police state. In our few visits to Czechoslovakia under socialism, we had a glimpse of the oppression and fear inherent in such a society.

This experience left me with a deep appreciation for the freedom we have in America. I can only begin to imagine the gratitude these Vietnamese immigrants have for the freedom they have found in America. The ugly truth of tyranny must be witnessed to be fully comprehended. Many of our fellow Americans seem to treat freedom as an abstraction, taking it for granted, much as a child takes its parents' love for granted. They jeopardize us all with their immaturity.
