Lincoln's Birthday
A day late we take notice that the 196th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's birth has arrived. President Bush took notice yesterday hosting a retrospective of the 16th President at the White house. He added his own words extoling the virtue of the great man, including these remarks.
"The Civil War was decided on the battlefield. The larger fight for America's soul was waged with Lincoln's words."He said Lincoln was a master of the English language, but that his "mother tongue was liberty."
Today we are again at war, and now we have a President who recognizes the battle is for security and human dignity and who believes that the war will be decided by liberty. Lincoln would be proud.
