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
I liked the first 3-4 seasons of X-Files. After that, it jumped the shark.
I missed some of it--was Kevin the one who said he was cancelling his 24/7 membership?
AWESOME CALLER!!! Helped his wife recover too!!! Awesome!!! :)
I know, I liked it when it was on Friday nights. It was a good Friday night show.
I was joking with Rush!
Yeah, and I think he was kidding. ;-)
Excellent info to have! :) Thanks.
We know.
Yeah that was a great point too. I would have loved to have seen Lauers face. There's no comeback to that. :)
Hope Cyrus shows up on Hannity as he said he would on Fri. Be nice to hear his take on the edits.
Totally.
This caller has it partially right-it's really conservatives, not necessarily the Republican Party, who are better for the country : )
But it makes perfect sense, since Democrats make a living blowing smoke out their butts. No one knows smoke better then Democrats.
Cool! :)
I only caught the beginning and the end--I have a chatty co-worker who INSISTS on talking to me while I'm trying to listen to Rush.;-)
Imagine what the Dems can do to the Benator if they take control of the Senate. He will be so marginalized he won't be able to get anything done.
He can't stand 50 to 1 for another 6 years. They can't get anyone in NE to the left of Nelson so they will do to him within the party what they did to Lieberman at the ballot box.
The Benator really is way to the right of Lieberman. They will do to him what they did to Miller and on the quiet to Breaux. He will have to go along or quit.
Its too bad cause I really do like him. I disagree with him on most issues but he is honest, ethical, is not a name caller or Bush Basher, and I think he really votes for what he thinks is good for the state. I can support those I trust but disagree with. (I can't think of anyone I agree or disagree with 100%) But a vote for the Benator would be a vote for Reid, Hellery, the orca, and "I served in Viet Name" Kerry.
Yes. I occasionally misspeak and fail to make that distinction as well.
