Excerpt of a great speech

"No man thinks more highly than I do of the patriotism, as well as the ability, of the men who have just addressed the House. But different nen often see the same sublect in different lights. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time as this, for fear of giving offense, I should consifer myself guilty of treason. Sir, we have done everything we could to avert the storm which is now coming on. We have petitioned; we have remonstrated, we have supplicated. The war is inevitable. Let it come! I repeat, let it come. Gentlemen may cry "Peace, peace!" But there is no peace. Our brethren are already in the fields! Why stand we here idle? Is that what the Gentlemen wish? Is that what they would have? Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? forbid it, God Almighty! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!

Phenomenal.


That's all I have to say about it.

The reason it's doing that is because the "word verification" is turned on. To turn it off just go to your settings found in your dashboard and go to the "comments" section. It should say something like "Word Verification enabled" and just check the "No" box.
