What Can We Say?
(A missive from Island Dweller; not much the Czar can say to top this, so here it is.)
Most exalted one,
The enclosed article says it all. In a way, this isn’t really news, because as everyone knows, Dear Leader couldn’t with a straight face make any meaning remarks on this document.
As everyone knows, the Gettysburg Address reaffirms three subjects:
- Freedom of the people
- The empowerment of the people over the government
- Government is of and by the people, and for them – not the self-appointed and all-knowing ruling class who know how you should live your life.
One little caveat – the same rules don’t apply to them.
What novel concepts are 1, 2, and 3.. I can just see Dear Leader expounding at length on the above themes.
Enjoy the article, and reflect on it given the above info.

John Usher.
Ring any bells?
Didn’t think so.
They’re both nobodies – well, actually, they’re both Secretaries of the Interior.
The difference is when Usher travelled to Gettysburg, he went with his President.
When Jewell goes this November, she’ll be the headliner – her President is taking a pass.
Obama will be a no-show at the 150th anniversary of Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address.
For a president who has so demonstrably associated himself with Lincoln – the heir of Lincoln’s policies who announced his candidacy from the steps of the Old State Capitol in Springfield and used the Lincoln Bible (twice) at his inauguration – this is nothing less than a profile in cowardice.
In the end, Barack Obama simply didn’t have the stones.
It’s sad.
And telling.
History will note that Lincoln’s legacy did not live up to the challenge.

Божію Поспѣшествующею Милостію Мы, Дима Грозный Императоръ и Самодержецъ Всероссiйскiй, цѣсарь Московскiй. The Czar was born in the steppes of Russia in 1267, and was cheated out of total control of all Russia upon the death of Boris Mikhailovich, who replaced Alexander Yaroslav Nevsky in 1263. However, in 1283, our Czar was passed over due to a clerical error and the rule of all Russia went to his second cousin Daniil (Даниил Александрович), whom Czar still resents. As a half-hearted apology, the Czar was awarded control over Muscovy, inconveniently located 5,000 miles away just outside Chicago. He now spends his time seething about this and writing about other stuff that bothers him.
