Necrothreading much?

Article content

Article copy

I guess I could have found quotes from the Founding Fathers that are more ‘famous’.

The reason I picked up those you can read in the Flash movie above is that, some 230 years later, they strike me as incredibly fit for many of the situations America is currently facing: intrusive UN, Atomic Mullahs of Teheran, the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan, domestic defeatist ‘cut-and-run’ Liberals, global Islamic totalitarianism and imperialism…

Fifty-six men, a little band so unique—we have never seen their like since (...)

Happy Independence Day.

(That last quote comes from Ronald Reagan)

UPDATE: I hear that some people can have issues with this clip (notably if using Netscape on Linux) so here is a recompiled version with lower Flash player requirements (7.0 instead of 8.0), in case you hear the sound, see the documents background but no start button and no quotes. Thanks to Mike for the heads up and help in testing.

Article copy (alternate language)

J’aurais pu trouver des citations des Pères Fondateurs plus ‘connues’.

La raison pour laquelle j’ai choisi celles que vous pouvez lire dans le clip Flash ci-dessus est leur pertinence, quelques 230 ans après, par rapport à de nombreuses situations auxquelles l’Amérique est actuellement confrontée : une ONU intrusive, les Mollahs Atomiques de Téhéran, les champs de bataille d’Irak et d’Afghanistan, la gauche américaine défaitiste et démissionnaire, la menace globale du totalitarisme et de l’impérialisme islamique…

Cinquante six hommes, un petit groupe si unique—nous n’avons pas vu leur égal depuis (...)

Joyeux Independence Day.

(La dernière citation est de Ronald Reagan)

MISE A JOUR: certaines personnes peuvent avoir des problèmes avec ce clip (particulièrement les utilisateurs de Netscape sous Linux). Voici donc une version recompilée pour Flah 7.0 (au lieu de 8.0), au cas où vous entendez la bande sonore, voyez les documents en fond, mais n’avez ni bouton “Start”, ni citations. Merci à Mike pour l’alerte, et pour son aide lors des tests.
