Ah. The glories of people who feel the need to plagiarize from one of the top 10 most well known fics in a fandom. One with a very distinctive style.

I mean if you are going to do it, pick something a little less well known.

This is more like this:

As Rodney watched, Sheppard climbed up to the podium to address the crowd. There was no visible microphone, but an Ancient system was amplifying Sheppard's words to the crowd. Sheppard waved his arms, and begun to deliver the speech that Weir had written specifically for the occasion. No canned speech from Earth would do.

Sheppard began speaking. "Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."

And with that he stepped off the podium, the crowd in stunned silence.

*cackles* That is a fantastic example of the whole wtf-ness of plagarism. It's one of those crimes where it's going to get noticed.
