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.

WITHOUT AMERICA, THERE IS NO FREE WORLD
Lt. Gen W.G. Boykin discusses Marxism's insidious march into American society. He is highly educated and has vast experience in identifying Marxism. PAY ATTENTION! Marxism is breathing down our collective necks.
Obama is in breach of our Constitution, Congress is in breach of our Constitution, and the Courts are in breach of our Constitution. The Tree of Liberty is dieing a slow but steady death.
Watch the whole video and then YOU decide how close we are to losing our Republic, our Constitution and the freedoms that generations of Americans have fought and died for. And then vote on 11/2 as if our very existence depended on it, because it does.

To Mosque or Not To Mosque
Well, Obama has done it again. He said one thing on building a mosque in New York, before he said something else on building of a mosque in New York, and then said something else on building a mosque in New York. This time it only took him a day or so to change his tune. First Obama stays away from the subject citing "it's a local issue." Then speaking at a Muslim gathering Obama says religious liberty "includes the right to build a place of worship and a community center on private property in lower Manhattan--." And the backlash started, not only from the Right, but from the Lefty Liberals, Obama's base. So Obama "clarified" that his remarks addressed only whether building the mosque was constitutionally defensible, not whether its construction is advisable. Then the next day, yet another White House clarification insisting that the president's statements did not mean he was backing away from his original statement. Are you confused yet?? This is another example of an on-again, off-again position from Obama and his troops. He doesn't really care so he swings with whichever way the political winds are blowing or whichever group he is addressing. Very much like he did during the campaign.
Press Sec Burton said "The president thinks it's his obligation to speak out when issues of the Constitution arise." So this is suddenly a Constitutional administration?
Wow, how dare Obama lecture us about our Constitutional right to religious freedom when he has stomped all over our Constitution since January, 2008. He only cares about our "Constitution" when it's politically expedient for him to care.
And again, Obama has missed the temperature of the American people on this one. While he is lecturing about religious freedom and the Constitution, he misses the fact that for Americans this has nothing to do with either. We know we have religious freedom. We know what our Constitution says. But this is an emotional issue. People lost brothers, sisters, fathers, wives, husbands, kids, over 3000 American souls gone - in a few short hours. And who did it? Muslim extremists. And if the purveyors of the mosque really wanted to "build bridges" and "heal our relations with Muslims," they would voluntarily move the dang thing. Their refusal to do so tells us all we need to know about their real motivation.
