Gettysburg Address: Greatest. Speach. Ever.
Not knocking RR, though. That was good. |
|
From the movie Independence Day.....RR free
|

"Ladies and gentlemen, we've just out-lawed the Soviet Union. Bombing begins in five minutes."
"TEAR DOWN THIS WALL." |
|
|
Maybe not the greatest speech, but I'll give it extra points for style...

Thanks for posting that I've never heard it. Sure wish he was around now. We could use his leadership. |

Damn, that guy's almost as fluid in his delivery as Jorge. |

The pre battle speech in independence day.
Yea I know, dorky, but it is a good speech - if only we had a leader who could speak like that off the cuff. The testimony of the Colonel in a Few Good Men was also good |

Henry V's "St Crispin's Day" speech
What's he that wishes so? My cousin Westmoreland? No, my fair cousin; If we are mark'd to die, we are enow To do our country loss; and if to live, The fewer men, the greater share of honour. God's will! I pray thee, wish not one man more. By Jove, I am not covetous for gold, Nor care I who doth feed upon my cost; It yearns me not if men my garments wear; Such outward things dwell not in my desires. But if it be a sin to covet honour, I am the most offending soul alive. No, faith, my coz, wish not a man from England. God's peace! I would not lose so great an honour As one man more methinks would share from me For the best hope I have. O, do not wish one more! Rather proclaim it, Westmoreland, through my host, That he which hath no stomach to this fight, Let him depart; his passport shall be made, And crowns for convoy put into his purse; We would not die in that man's company That fears his fellowship to die with us. This day is call'd the feast of Crispian. He that outlives this day, and comes safe home, Will stand a tip-toe when this day is nam'd, And rouse him at the name of Crispian. He that shall live this day, and see old age, Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours, And say 'To-morrow is Saint Crispian.' Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars, And say 'These wounds I had on Crispian's day.' Old men forget; yet all shall be forgot, But he'll remember, with advantages, What feats he did that day. Then shall our names, Familiar in his mouth as household words- Harry the King, Bedford and Exeter, Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester- Be in their flowing cups freshly rememb'red. This story shall the good man teach his son; And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by, From this day to the ending of the world, But we in it shall be remembered- We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; For he to-day that sheds his blood with me Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile, This day shall gentle his condition; And gentlemen in England now-a-bed Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here, And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day! |

Heres the full Reagan speech. If you've never listened to the whole thing, you simply must.
This is a Republican. You can disagree, but you would be wrong. |
|
fuck that was funny! |
|
|
|
|
Seriously, though.
MLK's "I have a dream" speech. It moves me. |
|
I followed the link on the youtube vid. Watching it right now. Awesome. |

"We will bury you"
Khrushchev beating his shoe on the table in Moscow while giving a speech to western ambassadors. Even though he didn't mean it literally, you just know that commie prick wanted all of us dead. |
|
A great speech, and a great American. Why can't we find somebody like that to inspire us to victory over the ROP and the Liberals. |
|
|
very timely for the problems we face today. |
|
|
|
I guess that would fit the bill for "chills down my spine". |
|
|
|
Yes.... that was the one I thought of along with his address to the nation after the Challenger explosion |

I don't think a different person saying "put it down before you hurt somebody" and then the guy in the picture blowing his brains out counts a speech, chilling or otherwise. |

The crew of the space shuttle Challenger honored us by the manner in which they lived their lives. We will never forget them, nor the last time we saw them, this morning, as they prepared for their journey and waved good-bye and "slipped the surly bonds of earth" to "touch the face of God."
