A House Divided

Stop what you're doing. Right. Now.

Turn it all off. Your phone? Unplug it. Turn that cel off. Radio? Click, off. Same for that accursed teevee.

You are not to be disturbed for the next ten or fifteen minutes. Period!

Now then. A word before giving you the link to what you're about to read.

Take. Your. Time.

What you're about to read, is history, but it is also today; the here and now. And it will forever change something deep, deep inside of you.

Where you may have lacked conviction, you'll forever be convinced. If you've wavered under the onslaught of the left, take heart for here is your support.

If you've just simply run out of the energy or will to give cogent, well-reasoned responses with which to give to your moonbat friends, family and co-workers, you will now have this inscribed into your heart, and the ability to print it out, and damn their weak minds when you lay it on their desks.

To the genius who is Mr. Gerard Van der Leun of American Digest, I can but humbly say; Thank you, sir, for your fine works. For us, a gift indeed.

Now, read. Not just this excerpt, it's only the introduction. Read this, then click on the link below to read the whole thing.

"A HOUSE DIVIDED AGAINST ITSELF CANNOT STAND" Springfield, Illinois, June 16, 1858

Note: For the actual text of this great speech which foreshadowed much that the country would endure through the following decade, I refer you to The "House Divided Against Itself" Speech by Abraham Lincoln. I confess that I have, with some reservations, altered this document below for reasons that will become clear as you read. I have done so because, as in 1858, so in 2004 this country faces another harsh test whose shape is still unclear but whose dangers to our nation will come to us over the next decade. With minor modifications, the parallels that can be drawn are chilling. Hence, I do this in the belief that Lincoln, if he would not approve, would at least not condemn. The evil that Lincoln speaks of is slavery. The evil of our time is Islamic terrorism. They really aren't that different. Are they?

What this is, friends, ought to be the death-knell of the Kerry-Edwards debacle. And I mean that as neither an exaggeration nor hyperbole. I have never said anything with more seriousness in my life.

And I'm ringing that bell as loudly as I can, here. I would encourage you to do likewise.

NOW, GO READ IT ALL.

Thanks for pointing this out, Jim.
I also gave a heads up about the pistol.

Take it easy.

Boy, I am very, very flattered and would hasten to point out that I am indeed working with the soul and writing of Abraham Lincoln -- so all credit, ALL CREDIT, must go to him.

I just make the phone calls. God places the orders.
