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
Love it.... We turned over Abu Grab to the Iraqis and the prisoners are crying for us to come back and stay in charge!
Abu Ghraib now under Iraqi management, shouts of : "Bring back the Americans." per Rush L.
I don't think so. There were several scenes that ended up being cut, and they didn't show disclaimers each time.
I did not potty for three hours. I think they just flashed the disclaimer whenever Clinton called and requested it.
"filthy cave dweller" Do you mean that as a descriptive, or as an insult towards him?
The real torture used by other countries was included in last night's show. And gee, those guys got information! Who would have thunk it....
Right on. The lesson learned would be that we'd see just how much the liberal Democrats could screw up the country with legislative control for just two years. That's not a lesson I need to learn, I alrady KNOW the result of that. Republicans, ALL OF THEM, better vote Republican in November. They won't enjoy the two year consequence if they don't.
I'm not sure how you mean, filthy cave dweller, but from all I have read he was a great man, a former engineering student who spent his entire adult life fighting for Afghanistan's freedom.
Just kidding, you lovely Rushies.
That what I don't understand... It reminds me of when Clinton first came into office and the economy started to boom. He did pass a bill until 7 or 8 months unitl his administration.. Yet he took credit for the booming economy..
I don't think he was describing the walks for freedom.
LOL. These people are insane.
I am just surprised that I found a Cave Man attractive. It’s just my humor.
We taped it last night in case it had been heavily Clintonized. Glad to know it was barely edited and really skewered the Clinton administration for their lack of action over eight years. They should have touched on the Jamie Gurelich rule that intelligence agencies couldn't share intelligence. THAT would be really important.
Yeah, from what the miniseries portrayed, his forces repulsed not only the Soviets, but the Taliban, from the valley they were based out of.
I guess the "you don't miss it till it's gone" even holds true at Abu Grab....
Not to mention all the Dim stonewalling on Bush's appointees, since he didn't really win the election.
He wasn't a "cave man," other than where he might have stayed at times. He was an engineering student who repulsed the Soviets and the Taliban.
I like your tagline. I used something extremely similar for a short while. Welcome to FR and the Rush thread.
