Abraham Lincoln the legendary president!

Abraham Lincoln stated most movingly in the military cemetery at Gettysburg: "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." Lincoln never let the world forget that the Civil War involved an even larger issue.
But now US army men are dying for no good reason, when do government realize this?

Abraham Lincoln was a very interesting man. I think they have a new book about his life on there. It was said that he suffered from severe depression most of his life and that he was secretly a homosexual.

The Republican Party in Lincoln's time was not conservative. In fact, it was considered radically liberal.

I don't know. I think the Republican was still conservative in the 1960s, yet they are the ones who pushed for passing the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

Who VOTED AGAINST the Civil Rights Act:

Robert Byrd - Democrat - ex KKK member and Current Senator
Albert Gore Sr. - Democrat - Al Gore's dad

Who VOTED TO PASS the Act:

BOB DOLE - Republican

More Republicans (percentage wise - since they were the minority party) than Democrats supported the Civil Rights Act.

why cant you remember replublicans? They freed the slaves. They made this country what it is today.

I hate liberalism. As a christian I cant stand it, but I do respect it and I listen to every word they say and I do offer respect for them.
