This is another day that will go down in history and for it to happen
on the very day we celebrate a man's life who died because he spoke publicly for freedom for us all whether we are white, black, brown, red, etc.,

Rev. King's "I HAVE A DREAM" speech is timeless and nothing has ever come close to even compare it to.

Al Gore's speech today should be considered a tribute and is to Martin Luther King's beliefs and a close second to one of the most famous speeches in our history.

4. That was the best speech I have ever seen. I am not ashamed to say
it brought me to tears.

So, please, tell me again why this man should not be President?

He cut right to the chase on it all. Very powerful and passionate.

7. My response sort of reminded me of that commercial...
where the guy puts his hatchback on line to sell, and his wife says, "Who's going to want to buy a lime green hatchback?"
Then the next scene shows the guy online, all dressed in lime green in his entirely lime green house, and he say's, "Awww, it's a thing of beauty!"
Yup, that speech was a thing of beauty!
