For some thoughts on the controversary regarding the interpretation of the 2nd Amendment, see Cap's essay, THOUGHTS ON THE SECOND AMENDMENT, and other related writing contained in the Essays by Cap Parlier section.
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. . . . that government of the people, by the people, and for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
These simple, glorious words have meaning and significance far beyond the moment they were intended to consecrate. President Abraham Lincoln struggled with his choice of these succinct words to commemorate those who lost their lives on the battlefields of Gettysburg during the epic engagement of July 1863. And yet, these words span centuries and truly capture the dreams of all those who want liberty and freedom. For the complete, glorious words of the GETTYSBURG ADDRESS , click HERE
FIVE SCORE YEARS ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of captivity. But one hundred years later, we must face the tragic fact that the Negro is still not free. I HAVE A dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal." . . . I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I have a dream today. WHEN WE LET freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, "Free at last! free at last! thank God Almighty, we are free at last!"
Reverend Martin Luther King Jr.'s words have melody, poignancy and drama by themselves. Placed in the cauldron of 1960's and the civil right movement, they represent the clarion call for all human beings to genuinely enjoy ". . . certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." His words are some of the most powerful and emotional words spoken in the last century. For the complete, glorious words of King's I HAVE A DREAM speech, click HERE
