“fake controversy”
Is the Gettysburg Address subject to interpretation?
The link is dead....
...for the same reason Pelosi might burst into flames if sprinkled with holy water?
Because to say “Under Me” might have been a little over the top?
I have little doubt that Obozo is an atheist.
“Under Mohammed” might have got him arrested for promoting child porn?
He wanted to say “under Allah” but thought better of it.
As Obobo is not a American why would he give a sh-t about American history? As for G_D his goes by another name. People buy a clue for $200.
Depends on which copy of the speech you're working from.
According to this Obama had choice of 5 possible versions
Three of them had “ under God” in them...Obama being so damn smart we cant stand it, of course picked a version without “under God” in it...That way Reverend Wright who taught him all he knows about Christianity could be happy
Four score and seven years ago our my fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal will be equal.
Now we I am are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that my nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We I 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 I should do this.
But, in a larger sense, I we can not dedicate, I we can not consecrate, I we can not hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it for me, far above your poor power to add or detract. The media world will little always note, nor and long remember what we I say here, but it can never forget what they did here for me.
It is for us you the living down-trodden workers, 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 you to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us you —that from these honored dead we you take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we I 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.
Because the POS is above it all.
Yeah, not giving him a pass on revisionist history. He can go to hell.
Should have nothing to do with this version or that from Lincoln’s scribblings before the speech. The key is, if the actual speech included “Under God”, and 0’ omits it in a modern rendering, then he (0’) is slime and on an agenda.
Period.
Copy? I thought lincoln wrote it while traveling
to Gettysburg on the back of an envelope.
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes. Obama wanted to say Allah and the original said God so he compromised and just left it out. Ain't compromise nice?
