that this nation, under God,
shall have a new birth of freedom
and that government of the people, by the people, for the people,
shall not perish from the earth. 
 
--Abraham Lincoln, Gettysberg, November 19, 1863

They would have to be smart to spot the difference. I know that I can't...

Here are two very reliable indicators that someone is an illegal alien:

1) He publishes 2 autobiographies which contain obvious omissions and fabrications about his birth place.

2) He refuses to supply his birth certificate.
