This is probably the greatest speech of this century (thus far made). If you are a member of the Demagogue Party, you will hate it. Otherwise, you will receive a feeling of inspiration reminiscent of the time you watched the movie Braveheart, when Sir William Wallace screamed the word “FREEDOM”. No matter how remotely hidden, no matter how long your inspiration may have been dormant, if you don't find it during this speech, it was probably never there...

P.S. You have to watch ALL 4 parts. Don’t make the mistage of thinking you “got the jist of it” after the first. Each are very powerful, especially the end.
I watched the whole thing yesterday. It was amazing. It should be read on the floor of the House and Senate, in the Supreme Court and especially in the Oval Office.

Wild horses couldn’t pay me to watch ALL 4 parts. One thing I like about Free Republic’s outdated, text-only format is speed. I can read faster than I can listen, and I can skim faster than I can read. Got 6 minutes for the GREATEST SPEECH EVER? Not me, but I’ll promise to give the transcript 6 seconds.
Ping for later viewing/listening. Thanks!
4 parts? I couldn’t even bear to listen to the whole first part. Keyes is a great thinker and writer, but he should never give a live speech.
William Wallace was hardly “knighted” by the English monarch thus would not have been knwon as “sir” anything. The lairds of the highlands didn’t need such nonsense. They knew who the leaders were. FREEDOM!!!
There’s one in every crowd. After the Battle of Sterling Bridge in 1297 Wallace was knighted by an unnamed Earl and became Sir William Wallace “Guardian of the kingdom of Scotland and leader of its army”.
But that is so tangential it is ridiculous. The obvious point was to compare the emotion one might feel after watching a rousing speech to the emotion resulting from a scene in a movie – not the applicability of the word “Sir”. Good Lord.
Keyes for President!
