Food for thought! Abraham Lincoln Today

[J. Beckert]

I like it, Lane. I like it a lot. The one word that kept jumping out at me was work.

While there's a truthfulness in the statement that you can pick and choose from the words of Lincoln to justify your political stance, I think that piece reflected not only Lincoln's views, but the views of the populace in the 19th. century. There were no Government handouts and a culture of spreading the wealth and taxing to death those who do work to provide for those who won't. They got by with hard work and family ties. Two things that are lacking in our society today. Kudos for a great job with the article.
