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
heh heh! It could be intentional...
Yep. I like Rush's idea. I'd buy the CD box set!
I'll sure as heck buy one. I want the REAL THING, the unedited unclintonized version, the REAL version. Not some warm and fuzzy liberal approved version that makes it on TV. Though last night was sure not what they wanted to see. They are so desperate for all the things Clinton did to be ignored so that the assumption is that it was Bush's fault. Unacceptable.
Maybe. LOL. But if someone new is listening, they probably have no idea who he is referring to... LOL.
Here here. A dead terrorists is a good terrorist. 1,000 dead terrorists are a lot of good terrorists. A million dead terrorists is a great year, or a better month. The more the better. They want to see Allah so bad and have their virgins, by all means, let us ablige them.
ABC is now streaming Part I on their website. I assume it's the edited version.
will consider......thanks ;>)
And, I can't stand the way he pronounces Rudy Giuliani's name, either.
Note: Massoud wasn't an Arab. He was an ethnic Tajik, meaning he was part of the Indo-Aryan-Persian ethnic group. His dialect is close to the Persian spoken in Iran, but has fewer Arabic loan words.
Rush, you should address the new talking point..." Only three thousand dead Americans by a terror attack is not worth this response, considering 40,000 a year die in car wrecks...
This disturbs me more than anything.
If OBL has a state why does he and all the terrorists like him hide in dark holes like cock roaches dressed as civilians? If they have a state somewhere that is a terrorist nation, by all means where is it? We have a bunch of new F-22s we can break in with it. Park the Reagan off it's coast and turn it into a parking lot.
Yep. I'll buy the real version. ABC are wusses. I mean, they're skeeered of Clinton?? Lol.
LOL, you and me both!!
Totally right! And love your tagline. VERY profound! Yikes!!! Bravo.
Satin!? LOL! Clinton is cloth! ;-)
