And no...I don't think making a memorable speech takes anything away from the topic of the speech...quite the contrary.Nathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00648438549121320566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243351006478134285.post-68430817861250304242009-06-07T07:31:28.478-05:002009-06-07T07:31:28.478-05:00Jim,
Thanks.
And what a line:
For you remind us ...Jim,<br /><br />Thanks.<br /><br />And what a line:<br /><i>For you remind us that in the end, human destiny is not determined by forces beyond our control. You remind us that our future is not shaped by mere chance or circumstance. Our history has always been the sum total of the choices made and the actions taken by each individual man and woman. It has always been up to us.</i><br /><br />It should be put up in every school and office. We are the sum of the whole and every citizen matters. <br /><br />And yes, they matter even when all they want to do is shop at WalMart for cheap imports to "furnish" the home who's mortgage is killing them -- all the while listening to Rushbo or O'Reilly and getting PO's at the rest of their "liberal" fellow citizens.<br /><br />Our choices matter.<br /><br />SPServing Patriothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14984393452206039835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243351006478134285.post-62797256654124552852009-06-07T00:21:54.591-05:002009-06-07T00:21:54.591-05:00[Raises glass] A heartfelt thank you to everyone w...[Raises glass] A heartfelt thank you to everyone who did what needed to be done.<br /><br />I wouldn't be here if it weren't for you.mensleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243351006478134285.post-13352770125824339392009-06-06T21:48:28.249-05:002009-06-06T21:48:28.249-05:00At the going down of the sun,
