Abraham Lincoln, rather predictably, I guess, is another one of the people I admire. I would not wish to tarnish his words or memory so I hope I cause no offence with what follows. For so great a figure in the history of America, to have such a disgraceful figure, standing in his footsteps, is a sobering thought. I wanted to compare the present imbecile who resides in the White House, with a proper President, who had the good of his country, and his people at heart.
To compare, I wondered what it would be like if George Bush was in the same position as Abraham and had to give the ‘Gettysburg Address’ Speech. As you know, Gettysburg was the battle that marked the high tide of the Confederacy in the South. The casualties and the fighting were particularly horrific, but it brought the end closer.
Below is the real thing. The version I can imagine Bush doing is beneath the real Gettysburg Address
The Gettysburg Address
Fourscore 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 battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of it as a final resting place for those who died here that the nation might live. This we may, in all propriety do. 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 hallowed 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 rather for us the living, we here be dedicated to the great task remaining before us--that from these honoured dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here gave the last full measure of devotion--that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation 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."
And now, Bush does the Gettysburg Address
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this incontinent, a new nation, constipated in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equalibrium.
Now we are engaged in a great civilian war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceiverated and so desecrated, can long ordure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war against the war on Terrorification. 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 properly fitting our democratic civilisation of democracy.
But, in a larger sense, we cannot medicate -- we cannot consecrateify -- 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 do subtractification to it. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, until CNN broadcastifies it to the nations of the free world.
It is for us the living people of the free world to not surrender to the terror tictacs of the terrorist who by being terroristic are attacking free, rather, eh…democratic ideologue of the free world.
You see we dedicated and decimalise here to the unfinished work, which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advancified. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honoured dead we take increased demotion to the cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion in the war against terror-- that we here highly dissolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new afterbirth of freedom -- and that the government of the peoples, by the people, for the peoples, shall not perishify from the earth.
God Bless you my fellow Americanians, from me, in Washington CD.
