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
On the left coast, we were able to watch BOTH Manning v. Manning AND (all but the first few minutes of) "The Path to 9/11." At the beginning of the football game, NBC showed some aerial shots of Ground Zero, which SADLT remains on hole in the ground. Today's WSJ (subscription required) has an op ed on this. If any FReepers can find the WSJ op ed in ab OPEN (i.e., non-subscription version), please post.

Violence greets Clinton visit
Protesters set dozens of shops ablaze
That, and Clinton was too busy playing golf and fiddling with cigars.
WOW!
You da man!
Best Summation Award!
And Haiti, Somalia, and Serbia, three great deployments that have yeilded such wonderful benefits for America the past 14 years. Whatever. Clinton deployed the miliary more in his eight years then every President from Truman to Bush 41 COMBINED deployed the military. And we have NOTHING to show for those record deployments in just eight years. It breaks my heart that the military had to endure that for eight years. Being sent around the world by a President who loathed them, and having nothing to show for it at the end of his tenure as weakling in Chief.
That'll teach them for not paying attention all these years... ;o)
Does anyone know if Rush has seen Part II of this movie?
Thanks!
Clinton's a completely self-absorbed, shallow man who only craves endless attention and adulation, and promiscuous sex. He loved being president for those things, but didn't want presidential responsibility. That suited his horrible wife fine, since that meant she could try to take over that part of the job.
Thank you! I read the book some time ago and had forgotten that "little" episode.
Brilliant post here TP8!
You're right.
They're all ignoring it...completely. No surprise...
He has a copy and saw the whole thing, yes.
Ah yes! I'm so stupid I forgot. My wife and I watched the CBS 9-11 Firefighter documentary while we taped Pathway. I think many people probably did that and that would have skewed the ratings. More Americans watched something to do with 9-11 then football. That does change things. I wanted to tape the Pathway in case it wasn't edited too much, but didn't want to watch it in case it was. I didn't want to be unnecesarily annoyed. Glad to know that what we taped was a minor edit and no major Clintonization took place.
Do you not mean 'BJ' Clinton as Mark Levin puts it?
Not this Canadian.
Yes,I think he originaly saw almost 6 hours.
Rush has seen the whole movie.
We can all see why Hilliary hates the internet, can't we?
Run, Hillie, run....
Bwah hah hah hah hah!
