The quote I chose from the speech that commits a fallacy is the quote, "Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet and hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, to assure the survival and success of the liberty."
This quotes commits the fallacy of begging the question because he is saying that to assure the survival and success of our nation we must do all of these things. All of these things do not assure that we will have survival and success but he makes us think we must do these things by using this fallacy.
Speeches that commit so many fallacies are so very famous because they say things that make sense to us before we think about it logically. The speeches are very famous because they say very simple, wrong things that seem to make a lot of sense to us before we actually think logically about it. This is what makes them so very famous.
