Fathom Lincoln Memorial 2024 Postmortem Gettysburg Speech

Nov. 19th 2024. (Original Speech in 1863, 161 years ago)

Twelve Score and Nine year 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 (2024), 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 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 cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, 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 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.”

Note: We need a Lincoln Republican and a We The People Democrat to share this speech at the Lincoln Memorial in Lincoln’s American Dream of a Unified American family in the future for Our children’s children.

So true. Unfortunately, the Republican Party, formed not far from the Republican Convention held this year in Milwaukee, was a very progressive party. It was for abolishing slavery and other reforms that have taken a long time to come.

The speeches at the Republican convention in no way mirror the ideals of Lincoln. They are mostly just gripes about the individuals not getting their way like spoiled brats. They know nothing of suffering and turn their backs on those who suffer. Even though they want everyone born, even if they are born into poverty and suffering.

Sorry for the rant, but we need, like you wrote, a Republican like Lincoln as a presidential candidate rather than one like Hitler or Putin.
