Its vast extent and its variety of climate and productions are of advantage, in this age, for one people, whatever they might have been in former ages. Steam, telegraphs, and intelligence have brought these to be an advantageous combination for one united people." December 1, 1862 President Lincoln's selfless advocacy for the equality and individuality of all Americans stands in virtuous contrast to the current push for group rights which is Balkanizing the nation he fought and died to keep in tact. His commendation of the melting pot far surpasses today's wacky thrust toward multi-cultural mush. "Our popular government has often been called an experiment. Two points in it our people have already settled-the successful establishing and successful administering of it. One still remains-its successful maintenance against a formidable internal attempt to overthrow it." July 4, 1861 Honest Abe overcame the seemly insurmountable task of reuniting an America at war with herself, and in the process expunged the disgrace of slavery from the land. What would he think of a President who 130+ years later would continually flout the rule of law, cavort egregiously within the confines of the White House's most hallowed locales, and elevate politics and success far above principle? Would the divided country be as vicious a foe as a culture that sought to debase America's lofty past with revisionist public school curriculums and Hollywood offerings celebrating deviancy while condemning decency? "There is an objection urged against free colored persons remaining in the country which is largely imaginary, if not sometimes malicious." December 1, 1862 In 1862, not many people wanted to hear the president utter such a statement. Lincoln, was NOT a politician whose ultimate goal was being reelected or maintaining high poll numbers. He was a leader who said what was right whether it won him approbation or rancorous scorn. Wouldn't it be inspiring to hear such untested politically incorrect veracity today? "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." January 27, 1838 With activist judges regularly decimating the Constitution, music and movies praising perversion, a ruling cabal lead by an mendacious adulterer who too often seems to follow the teachings of Adolph Hitler more than Abraham Lincoln (Elian Gonzales, Waco, partial-birth abortion etc.), if our sixteenth president could see us now, he would probably ponder if America was precariously on the brink of suicide.
