THE WORDS OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN

November 19, 1863…

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 cannot dedicate -- we cannot consecrate -- we cannot 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.

NEWSWEEK COLUMNIST SPEAKS THE TRUTH - FINALLY

Niall Ferguson is a columnist for Newsweek, not exactly a Right Wing publication, and he is a professor of history at Harvard, not exactly a bastion of Right Wing educators. He appeared on MSNBC and opined eloquently about the Obama administrations lack of a coherent foreign policy. He also has strong opinions about the U.S. debt. Watch both videos here. Remember, Professor Ferguson is not a conservative Right Winger.

SINK THE KENNEDY SHRINE!

Massachusetts legislators have already dedicated almost $38 million towards the Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the United States Senate - yes, that's really what it's called. I call it the Edward M. Kennedy Shrine to Pork. During Kennedy's reign he pushed through enough pork to fill the trough to overflowing.

And this year his family is coming back for even more piggy funds -- I do believe they think of it as an entitlement - they want another $30 million in TAXPAYER funds to spend on the Shrine.

And this is during the worst recession in American history. The rich and powerful are at it again -- gimme, gimme, gimme.

The Kennedy family is rich, rich, rich. They have ubber rich friends. They should get ALL funding for the Shrine from their friends or their own bank accounts -- NOT THE BELEAGUERED TAXPAYERS - who, according to the CBO yesterday, are getting slapped with another $1.5 trillion in debt for 2011, thanks to millions of PORK projects just like the Kennedy Shrine.

We are at the tipping point, off the cliff, under water, call it what you want. We are BROKE. And no money should be spent on this Shrine or any other project that is not Constitutionally mandated. Be sure to enter your protest to the Kennedy Shrine at this link.
