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
Me too. I mean the liberals that liked it also. The rest of us moved on with our lives when X-Files went off. But the libs, genetically disconnected from reality as they are, don't have the coping mechanisms to deal with the distinction from fiction to reality, so Bush became the liberals new "smoking man".
You didn't leave the Democratic Party ... The Democratic Party left you!.
Yeah really. It's scary just how disconnected from realiy Democrats are. Amazing.
Well this is now the 2nd most every posted too Rush thread.
Yes he is. Awesome caller. :)
Yeah me too. I can't stay on the net the whole time but I can at least listen. :)

Spot on right. The voters leaving the Democrat party are where they've always been. The Democrat party has just lunged so far to the left that the reasonable Democrat voters now find themselves out in the open, sitting in their chairs, with the tent suddenly far off to their left.
Rush had a liberal caller on who was saying the standard line that 9-11 was an inside job (blah blah), so I wrote him and told him I was canceling my membership because the liberal callers have become the website parodies and I was no longer paying for what others were getting for free.
"I was only an EM, never an officer. I worked for a living."
LOL.
Sure happy you left out the adjectives normally associated with that statement, shipmate.
Wow! I was wondering about that. LOTS of people wanted to see what the show would say about Pathway. :) I bet lots more were lurking then normal too. I was hoping that just one liberal troll would have the stones to post in the thread. Oh well. :)
I stand corrected. Thanks.
I didn't catch that before. Darth Cheney. ROFL. That's funny. :)
Go Kevin!!! Someone get the keys to the lounge! Special FRink!!
have a chatty co-worker who INSISTS on talking to me while I'm trying to listen to Rush.;-)
Don't you hate that? I remember having a co-worker like that during the Clinton era, and Rush had some really good shows during that time(as he usually does!), I would have to grit my teeth to keep from saying, HUSH! I missed today's show, sounds like I missed a good one. :(
LOL! What was Rush's response to that? :)

Precisely. Clinton rode the wave of a good economy...and did little else. He passed on UBL on 12 separate occasions. Two while I was there. His legacy is the fact that he doesn't have one. Not a positive one in any event.
As an Air Force child of Reagan and a retiree under Bush, Jr., it was a low point for US national security.
Mrs Clinton would be worse, if that's possible. The Dems have some great options but they've just gone way left in regard to our military.

As you know Buzz Patterson carried the "nuclear football" for Clinton. In Buzz's book, "Dereliction of Duty", I recall Patterson wrote he had been getting URGENT phone calls that UBL was in their "sights" and a decision had to be made immediately "on taking him out".
Buzz, who was accompanying Clinton at a golf outing, would approach the EX-President with the dire need for a response to URGENT military "in the field" call, Clinton, he said became annoyed and would not take the call. The military brass, Buzz felt, at first thought this call was not being passed on to the EX-President. Patterson assured them it was and he was trying, even giving the EX-President reason of this URGENT call for authorization several times always being brushed aside. Following the golf match, entered Mrs. Clinton into the limo. She learned from Patterson that the calls had taken place, became outraged and instructed Patterson to call back if it took all night. Patterson said the window of opportunity was now closed and retired for the evening.
Patterson had taked these phone calls on that particular day and addressed this 'dereliction of duty' in his book by the same name.
Buzz is out with another book shortly called: War Crimes, 09.26.06
Hey! BTW, I had no idea you were the patfish blogger. I have enjoyed your blog when I mosey over there.
Anyway---maybe the LSM is a clue, or maybe, in terms of faithfulness to the reality, there really wasn't a choice but to show the clip of that shocking adolescent crapola ("I did not have sexual relations with that woman . . . Ms. Lewinsky . . .")
Here's the thing: the moonbats truly believe that it was "all about sex" and all about a "private matter," so to them that clip probably only highlights how ridiculous (in their small minds) it was for the President of the United States to be "forced" to answer for his personal conduct at a time when he had important matters of state to attend to.
IOW, the moonbats believe that the sheer ridiculousness of Klintoon's lie PROVES that the VRWC *caused* Klintoon to be less than attuned to national security, all the while they believe he was still the greated president ever.
As you so ably point out, however, the rest of us know better. The mere juxtaposition of the behind-the-scenes efforts to get bin Laden---and to get a decision out of the Klintoons to get bin Laden---with the "I did not have sexual relations with that woman . . . Ms. Lewinsky . . ." lie is shocking to the core.
Real people, in the real America, know the score, exactly.
They need to be seen and heard by regular Americans.
