You called?

 

Did Brownback Plagarize?

"We are a great nation because our greatness is built on the foundation of fundamental goodness. If ever we lose our goodness, we will surely lose our greatness."

-- Sen. Sam Brownback (R-KS), declaring his presidential bid last weekend. (See video.)

"America is great because she is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, she will cease to be great."

-- Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, quoting Alexis de Toqueville in a campaign speech, November 3, 1952. Interestingly, the phrase has never been verified as coming from Toqueville.

Then why didn't you start a new one instead of necro-bumping one from 2007?

 

this one works just fine. with a thread title of simply "Plagiarism," this thread does what it needs to do. kind of the most parsimonious solution to the problem
