(1,019 posts)They apparently have a radically different idea of America and of what constitutes a great speaker and speech.
Is there some kind of decent response to this on Twitter?

(10,252 posts)Republican governors across the country have cut funding for public schools. Kids are pushed into private charter schools and sit in front of a computer and take multiple choice quizzes all day. But read a library book and write a book report? Computers don't grade book reports. Memorize Lincoln's Gettysburg address, a speech from Shakespeare, or the preamble to the Canterbury tales. Forget it.
We need to take back and properly fund our public schools.

I read and studied that in high school...
it just came back into my head. I started it again last night.
How lucky I was to have had a good public school education.. in the 1950s.
Well, good compared to now. History was basically European and white American...l but...

(6,149 posts)Perverted comes to mind. Maybe I mean perverse. But that's SUCH an ouch. The idea that Lincoln's speech about equality is "trumped" by one of the most bigoted candidates we've had in years... that's just sick.

(6,149 posts)Four score 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 battle-field of that war. 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.
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated 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 for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, 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.

I have committed to the correct side - those who would uphold the vision Lincoln described in that amazing address - and that is why HRC will get my vote.
