THis speaker is impressive. You don't get a great speaker this often. I do disagree with his big point that Gettsburg is bigger than Vicksburg because I think they are equally important. Without Vicksburg there is no General Grant coming to the Eastern Campaign. He may be a great general but not a 3 star general /President.

A very important discussion from which anyone can learn. Thank you.

I love Bill Moyers. I watched his show as often as I could as a teenager and adult. It is difficult for me to hear the story of COLONIZED America democracy told again and again as if it was always that from the very moment the words were written in 1787, “WE THE PEOPLE”. Let’s not even pretend to deny what America was before 1787. COLONIZED America is a nation that esteems democracy ideals that were authored by men who unequivocally believed that the words and documents which they penned applied only to themselves, this is inarguable. Without the pushback and strides of America’s primary democracy advocates African Americans, and further pushback and strides by White women, still further pushback and strides by the LGBT community, and even more pushback and strides being championed every day by suppressed peoples including undocumented immigrants the elements of democracy that COLONIZED America has achieved since 1492 would not exist. COLONIZED America did not become a DEMOCRACY for all citizens until the Voting Rights Act of 1965, this is inarguable, and that right was quickly striped away less than 50 years later by the US Supreme Court and essentially rolled back the state of democracy in America to what it was in 1787. I don’t have an issue with Bill’s premise and evidence of COLONIZED America’s general socioeconomic and cultural decline, this is inarguable. I take issue with the narrative he presents regarding COLONIZED America’s "democracy" being in decline. We are not a democracy as long as all citizens cannot participate courtesy of the US Supreme Court. We spent less than 50 years in a state of true national democracy, not 250 years.

If you map a spiral on an XY axis you get a waveform. Up and down. As Thich Nhat Hanh once said, "We are waves of the ocean in search of water."

When I went through a heart crisis--and discovered this thing called anxiety--there was no comfort or peace to be found in the requirement religion I'd been immersed in for the first 60 years of my life. Richard, contemplative Christianity, Thich Nhat Hanh, meditation, and simple Buddhism have been life buoys.

Love ❤️ him

This man is brilliant. He knows the constitution inside out. He's a national treasure.

We love a nation that has one serious dilemma race. As we look to 250 years old have we matured normally or continue to be stunted incapable of growth.

So sad that eight years later...here we are again in the same situation, proving again, how short our attention spans are. Unfortunately it's not funny.

But what do civilians at a distance really know or military men at the same distance . Attrition was taking its toll . And close up by military men enjoying a victory . How quickly it can evaporate . Yet by avoiding one another for 10 months . They tried to lick both big wounds .what if Longstreet persuaded Lee to do things his way.

“Four Score And Seven Years Ago”….Not Tuesday November 19th, 1863..But imagine waking up on the morning of July 4th, 1863 in Gettysburg Pennsylvania? Corpses lying dead in what were peaceful farm fields a week before, the rotting smell of those corpses in the July Sun, piles of amputated human limbs….The war came home to a peaceful Pennsylvania Town that were a traumatized people to whom Lincoln was addressing. Robert E Lee descendent of the Virginia Lee Family. Ancestor Richard Henry Lee proposed the first articles of independence in Virginia in 1776. Did R E Lee speculate the importance of a July Confederate victory in Pennsylvania which contained Philadelphia, Home of The 1776 Declaration Of Independence signed by Richard Henry Lee and his brother Francis Lightfoot Lee? Lee like other Christians spoke of divine providence. Virginia, the State which chose to join the Confederacy also composed the assault with the largest group under Pickett’s command.

The answer is obvious. John Kerry said so clearly: if only we could shut the enemy up, we could "earn the right to implement change". Just scrap the Constitution, and have untrammeled power. No one speaks up, no problems.

Hedges is one of the best speakers and writers of this age. His command of the written and spoken word is nearly unmatched.

Need term limits on congress, need Citizens United overturned. Need all citizens to see their legislators as extensions of themselves & quit focusing on some strongman come to save us. We the people are the solution bc our is supposed to be the only thing that matters. Instead we have slid by giving away our own power, accepting an enfeebled Congress & an emboldened presidency.

Did he know that he was dying during this speech? What a remarkable man!

It's the truth of America we the people

♥️

Just like Nazi Germany it took the actual destruction of the South to bring it to its knees. Like the inefectual bombing raids of the Allies... the march to the sea by Sherman did accomplish an economic destruction that was useful but hardened the resolve of the Confederates to wage a total war of annihilation where they wouldn't capitulate. Formally the Confederacy never capitulated but lost because its means to wage war was destroyed, with most of its government fleeing abroad in 1865. Also by 1864 trench warfare was in full swings and we are lucky Lee didn't see the nascent Gaitling Gun or else it would have all turned into a WW1 stalemate real quick.
