If he's a con-law "scholar" with a degree from Harvard...I guess those Yalies have something to talk about.
...but over the centuries, what eventually bound us together — what made us all Americans — was not a matter of blood, it wasn’t a matter of birth. It was faith and fidelity to the shared values that we all hold so dear. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, endowed with certain inalienable rights: life and liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”

Hey, Obama sees his god every day when he looks in the mirror. No surprise, being a progressive, that he'd leave that off.

ReplyDeleteHaving read the transcript of the speech, it is clear to me that he is not directly quoting the Declaration of Independence.

You may be confused by the fact that no existing draft of the speech contains the phrase. However, since four reporters witnessing the speech all included the phrase in their reporting, it is likely that Lincoln added it extemporaneously in his delivery.

"You may be confused by the fact that no existing draft of the speech contains the phrase."
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, WikisSource quotes the five existing drafts in full, and three out of five contain the phrase.
The last three were copies written AFTER the fact, and A.L. took into account what he actually said at Gettysburg.
