Gettysburg Rhetorics

146 years ago today, Abraham Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg Address.

On this day we recall the words of Samuel Langhorne Clemens:

Wherefore being all of one mind, we do highly resolve that government of the grafted by the grafter for the grafter shall not perish from the earth.

Remember also some words of Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn:

While it is perhaps true that “one cannot fool all the people all the time,” it seems that one can fool millions for centuries.
