Agree. Snoooooring.

[Lynne]

That’s our pledge of allegiance.

[Liberty Ship]

“Straight up the hillside, out in the open, in that gorgeous field of fire. We will charge valiantly... and be butchered valiantly! And afterwards men in tall hats and gold watch fobs will thump their chest and say what a brave charge it was.”

The speech is all about Obama.

[Bahbah]

It’s the Oprah speech. We are all writing little “stories.” Our lives are just stories.

[Sparko]

“Change the course of a century?”

Hell, it changed the future. It is *more* than a century.

[exit82]

To hear Zero talk about Minutemen makes me want to projectile vomit.

[paulycy]

But he had but a few, late, grudging words for a serviceman killed just this week on American soil. How sincere is he at this moment?

[NautiNurse]

Oh.My.God. He’s babbling on about Lexington and Gettyburg now. Incredible!

[Bush Revolution]

Well it looks like Tom Hanks likes the speech.

[ladyvet]

I wish he would just shut up. FUBO!

[SE Mom]

What an awful speech. It’s over.

I don’t know what to say.

[Right_in_Virginia]

He has NO idea what WWII was about. None.

[OBXWanderer]

Well it looks like Tom Hanks likes the speech.

I thought that is who that was...figured I could find the answer here on FR.

[McGruff]

Obama says remember the Russians. Didn't Stalin originally side with the Hitler until they attacked them?

[musicman]

"He invokes his grandmother? (Is that the same grandmother he threw under the bus in his speech on race?)"

[SE Mom]

Go to post # 16 and compare what you just heard to Reagan’s speech in 1984 at Normandy.

[Bush Revolution]

Yeah, the part where he said they weren’t perfect. That's like saying at your child's funeral I loved her/him but he was a bad kid most of the time. WTF

[NautiNurse]

Well it looks like Tom Hanks likes the speech.

"I never fought in a war, but I played it in the movies."

[Carley]

And O wants to aid in that final solution. Destroy the last of the jewish people.

Destroy any vestige of Christianity.

The march towards tyranny began with the banning of prayer in public schools and public squares.

We owe Judge Moore a great debt. Too bad that he didn’t win that battle. Where were we when he fought on?

Little by little we are being destroyed by the despots who would deny our humanity.

[old_sage_says]

Seeing these old soldiers receiving the Legion of Honor is about to make me shed tears...again.
