A little political pick me up....Please take a moment out of your

busy day to reacquaint yourself with America. Please pay attention to the last sentence. My friends, we are still the PEOPLE.






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.

it's nice to have a reminder that our government has not always been by the rich and for the rich. What a pleasure it will be when the current crop of sneering, smirking plutocrats is turned out of office!

What the hell happened to that party? Then again, the Dems of that era were pretty despicable.

that was cleansing.

as one of the finest addresses made in American history.
Still true today. Lincoln had a vision more benevolent than many politicians here today.

I only hope we can approach that kind of greatness again some day.

Jayzus, they take more words than that to say they won't answer a question.

Thanks for posting that, Harrison; it is truly a work of art.
