Lincoln and the Mormons

[LincolnToddFan]

[when I was a boy on the farm in Illinois there was a great deal of timber on the farms which we had to clear away. Occasionally we would come to a log which had fallen down. It was too hard to split, too wet to burn and too heavy to remove, so we plowed around it. That's what I intend to do with the Mormons. You go back and tell Brigham Young that if he will let me alone, I will let him alone.]// quote Abraham Lincoln

This is why I love Lincoln. Who else in American political life could have come up with a response like that? Perfect.

Thanks, Roger!
