SEVENSCORE AND TEN YEARS AGO . . .

Suffice it to say your opinions are well known to me by this point, Les!!!!

And I have no problem with those who disagree with me as long as they have no problem with being wrong.

Perhaps you don't understand that I hadn't read the article yet saw who wrote it.  DAVID PITTS wrote the article and apparently quoted the other writer ("GERRY WILLS") and I guess you assumed that "liberal columnist" is a buzz word for me, but it isn't.  I don't know current writers much and don't follow any.  Who's David Pitts?  Who's Gerry Wills?  I don't know.  
I wrote:
"The posting and the link credit the article to DAVID PITTS.  What are you on about?  The question is rhetorical."  
Meaning, I was perplexed but didn't really care about an answer.  Maybe snarky but not political.   

You responded defensively to a political critique that was posted by someone else, by asking a "snarky" question that you say that you weren't really expecting an answer for. Actually, that's rather snobby...maybe a little b!tchy too. It's all good though, bro. It was the Gettysburg Address, not the Sermon on the Mount.

Yes, it was a great speech, and even greater for two other reasons.

1: Lincoln did it without a teleprompter, and
2: If you liked your doctor back then , you could keep him (well you pretty much had to because he was the only one in town, lol)   

That aside, Lincoln also that that "Everything I am, or hope to be, I can attribute to my mother."  I believe that he said that, more or less with a few words possibly missing.

More words to live by. Ya' gotta' love mom! Long live Lincoln!

Well, most of the time. Some Presidents try to forget where they came from, for some reason.
