My Comments: Abraham
Lincoln possessed gifts. He had the gift of writing, the gift of
oratory and the gift of leadership with the ability to translate those
gifts into saving the unity of a democratic nation. I urge you to read
his words at the link below and then to contribute your mighty efforts
to saving our nation with your voice because the people's voice enmasse
is, in the final analysis, the only thing that can withstand the
immediate onslaught of corrupt, mendacious and authoritarian men and
women bent on the overthrow of our Democracy, a gift awarded to us by
our Founders, brilliant men of the eighteenth century.
In
its place they plan for an autocracy from which they fallaciously think
will emerge a much easier form of government governed by the whim of
one man and one Party. That form of government will crush out free
speech and it will crush out dissent. All challengers
to the anointed man, the Dear Leader, will be snuffed out as well. It
will eradicate a system in which no man is above the law because one
man, the Dear Leader, will be above the law. We will be relegated to an
eternal civil war because one leader and one Party cannot be omniscient
and know it all. They will suppress all dissent. The elements of a
Fascist tyranny will be the rule. It is said "... that where people
burn books they will also burn men." We the people must take it upon
ourselves to fight any and all attempts at insurrection and any and all
attempts at violent subversion of our nation by raising our voice loudly against the forces of hate and division.
Our
people in our time and in this place are called upon to stop our
descent into madness. As John F. Kennedy instructed in his own
inaugural address of 1961 over a century later that ... "God's work here
on earth must truly be our own."
