Instant CongressWords 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                    | ||
Meanwhile on this side of the world
We've got a lot of problems besides Iraq. A bad war gone worse gave Democrats impetus to settle "Iraq" first. But it is not the issue. The real issue is our government.
Iraq needs to have resolution, clarity, direction--I feel sorry for them.
But here at home our main problem is coming to grips with the hot issues which could combust or kindle into a flame of governance. What sayest y'all to that problem?
I cruised to a few online newspapers and found such critical problems as the end of a Harry Potter era. Detroit is worried about the car industry. Chicago could give you a rundown on Obama. MSNBC (through the Olbermann YouTube) records six more minutes of Bush and his war.
It's our war and our administration and our job to figure out more than just where hurt feelings in Washington DC will produce counterproductive results. It's simply time for all citizens to speak their minds. "I am for" and "I am against" are good beginnings to each person's use of free speech.
