FROM THE BARREL OF MY PEN
By Gonzalo “Jun” Policarpio

FAITH OF OUR FATHERS

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg left the Republican Party and went Independent. Why? Is the rumor flying around that he intends to run for President next year is indeed a reality?

The billionaire mayor was able to buy City Hall twice especially in New York City where money talks. If he is thinking of investing his half a billion dollars for a White House run next year, he would go down in the history of American business as a prototype of an American moneyman gone berserk. For he would surely fail.

The history of the American people is an ongoing struggle to carry on and protect the ideals of the American nation especially its Christian foundation. It's not so much the obsessive desire to make more money that makes every American tick.

We still need a leader who can celebrate with us the birth of Jesus Christ with passion every Christmas Day, sing Christmas Carols, and display the Nativity scene in our backyards.

We still need a leader who will fight to bring prayer in our schools, preserve the sanctity of marriage as between a man and woman, and protect the life of the unborn child.

We still need a leader whose spiritual faith represents the Faith of the American Nation as a whole.

Surely, Michael Bloomberg, despite his billions of dollars, cannot buy the American nation and cannot provide the American people with treasures that “moth and rot cannot corrupt.”
