Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- 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
Kinda nice for a change...Keeps the continuity going, which is difficult in a compressed time period.
Exactly. He didn't even have his staff picked until the last days before the inauguration in 2001, because the Democrats wouldn't allow it. They were two hours behind where they should have been because of Algore refusing to concede. That's conveniently forgotten.
Take care my friend!
I thought he was hot, too. Glad it wasn't just me!
Talk about Uncut version....all the good parts were interrupted with a damn storm warning that fizzled before it started. Didn't stop them from running on for at least 10 minutes!
Won't tonight's be interrupted with the Bush speech???
LMAO! Have 2 DVDs--the cut and uncut versions!
My new tag line........ I copied it from FNC, reporter
Bye, Sensei.
"burn" them .......... or bury them.
That was reported about a week and a half ago, which is why this effort by Clinton was so phony and useless.
Very nice pictures. And all the venom from the left especially today is sad. Sick. Perverse.
I checked the listing last night. It will play from 7-8 (central time, 8-9 eastern) and then cut away for the speech. Then, it will pick up again about 20 minutes later.
Rush, the leaked edits are already all over the place:

good stuff.
Totally right. Every conservative better be out there voting Republican. A RINO in Congress is better then a liberal in Congress. And then in 2008, we can have a strong conservative candidate for President. A REAL conservative, not a RINO. THAT is what's best for the country.
Lt Col Buzz Patterson is a former aide to Clinton. He carried the nuclear football from 1993-6. Says he was there and saw the missed opportunities occur.
Well, to the best of my knowledge, there were no actual refusals or failures to get bin Ladin when they otherwise could have, so I don't expect anything like that. If Clarke worked with them on this, we may see implications that not giving him the position he wanted was the big mistake that doomed us all, given how self-absorbed the man is.
Well, he's a legend in his own mind too. If I tried to run that line by Mrs. Hun, I would be looking for a divorce lawyer. Getting a BJ is sexual relations by anyone's definition.
