Gettysburg Address at 150

Three halves of a century 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.

A behemoth was to rise to make the world “safe” for democracy.
