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 missed that.
LOL!!
Cheney takes no prisoners.
Very, very pretty.
National Velvet .......

It may be better to leave the finger on Clinton ........and stick it in the rattlesnake's mouth.
;-)
Sorry, I meant to say, I'm NOT voting for Sore Loserman. I'm voting for Schlesinger.
Ok, I'm sorry I came off a little harsh. Your initial anger would have been correct if that's what Rush meant. I was/am still mad at the liberals who would have us believe 9/11 was Bush's fault rather than Clinton's.
History, if it isn't written by communists of islamicfacists, will correct the record, I pray.
You have to tell your co-worker "hush, listen, learn, chit chat later" ......
Well, i don't have to worry with her now. Since then I became a mom and opted to stay home. Of course, now my youngest started to kindergarten and I am trying to get back into teaching next year. I will have to get Rush 24/7 then! I had to sub today and missed Rush and I hate that I missed a really good show. :(
