Earnhardt Likes President’s Quote

This is one of Dale Earnhardt Jr’s favorite quotes according to his page at Infield Parking. These are not Dale Jr’s words — they’re Abraham Lincoln’s. But Junior must have got a lot out of them to say this is his favorite quote.

It’s pretty patriotic and timeless — the words are as meaningful today as they were 170 years ago.

Here it is. What do you think?

At what point shall we expect the approach of danger? By what means shall we fortify against it? Shall we expect some transatlantic military giant, to step the Ocean, and crush us at a blow? Never!

All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest; with a Buonaparte for a commander, could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a thousand years. At what point, then, is the approach of danger to be expected?

I answer, if it ever reach us it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide. — By Abraham Lincoln — from The Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln edited by Roy P. Basler, Volume I, “Address Before the Young Men’s Lyceum of Springfield, Illinois.”

    3. If anyone can help Nascar right now it probably would be Dale Jr. He is very talented and smart. He came from a long line of Smart Men and he is carring on the Legacy.
    Good Luck Dale Jr. in 09, we are behind you all the way.
    P.S. You might want to look into someone else to lead you.

    5. There are many smart and clever women in our world today and Dale Jr. has his pick of the litter. For one of his statue to remain single with all his choices, says Jr. is one in a trillion! Why? Because he is intelligent, fun, sporty, fantastic DNA line, great conversationalist, computer funster, successful businessman along with being our #1 NASCAR driver (he draws the crowds, including me) and the best-looking guy on planet earth. He comes across as being very sweet too.
