Words to live by"While it may be fairly said that Mr. Lincoln entertained many Christian sentiments, it cannot be said that he was himself a Christian in faith or practice. He was no disciple of Jesus of Nazareth. He did not believe in his divinity and was not a member of his Church. "He was at first a writing Infidel of the school of Paine and Volney, and afterwards a talking Infidel of the school of Parker and Channing.... "If the Churches had grown cold -- if the Christians had taken a stand aloof -- that instant the Union would have perished. Mr. Lincoln regulated his religious manifestations accordingly. He declared frequently that he would do anything to save the Union, and among the many things he did was the partial concealment of his individual religious opinions. Is this a blot upon his fame? Or shall we all agree that it was a conscientious and patriotic sacrifice?" Subscribe Buttons                    | |
You do NOT pay attention
THis is typical! No one said he was a progressive. I said he can appeal to both moderates and progressives. THere is a big difference. Some of his stands satisfy progressives, particularly his Iraq stand, but he is basically a moderate (like Dean) and appeals, I am learning, to conservatives like Orthodox Jews and libertarians.
Please read carefully before commenting. We get so many rolled eyes in relation to your comments you wouldn't even believe it. I ever said he was progressive. I said he can APPEAL to both ends.
