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 found it interesting that they said Al-Q was fighting the Soviets and when the Cold War ended they thought it was because THEY beat them. I had not heard that angle before.
Another good point: Rush points out that we are sacrificing in many ways to stay secure and the libs go along, but won't support the war.
Rush says one of the edits was the scene when Sandy Berger hangs up on the CIA agents who are begging for permission to capture OBL when they had him surrounded.
He knew we needed him today. He will take off the rest of the week now!
The entire airing was worth seeing Bill Clinton's bald faced lie to the nation.
The disclaimer was flashed at the beginning, at the halfway point, and at the end.
Don't give him any ideas!
Look, I'm not happy with the Rinos in Congress, but there is more at stake than the deficit, the border, and more.. It is freedom.. If you don't the people, run in the primary or support the candidate in the primary, but staying at home or voting for third party is not going to help....
Yes, the finger wagging clip.
Glad to see the cuts were very minor and the meaning of the movie remained. Clinton was a failure. The movie clearly showed his administration failed.
The time for grieving is after the dust settles. Wait until we finish the war then grieve. Until then, let's be angry and kick talibhan tail!
I agree with you, but I was assuming that Rush was talking about lib politicians.
I didn't know what the allegedly objectionable scenes were, so couldn't be sure it wasn't just backside covering, but then the effort to stop it became so outrageous it was clear something else had to be going on, and I think you have expressed it. It is also important to them, I think, that we not realize just how absolutely evil the Islamic fascists are.
Woo-Hoo, quotes Buzz Patterson, who carried the nuclear football for Clinton, stated Berger was always paralized when making national security decisions and when he'd try to get in touch with Clinton, he usually couldn't.
I was very nervous during the movie. I picked nails and pulled on hair. These animals scared the crap out of me. How can anyone think WAR is not necessary?
It's that simple (sarc)
