Einstein once said, 'The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over
and over again and expecting different results.'


It is the

poor who habitually
elect Democrats---yet they are still POOR



"You cannot
help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening
the strong. You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot
lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down. You cannot further the brotherhood
of man by inciting class hatred. You cannot build character and courage by taking
away people's initiative and independence. You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves."Abraham Lincoln

.................

and Mr. Obama,

you are no Abe Lincoln

Somehow, after the liberal '60s, we have liberal courts who entertain lawsuits to reward failure, and punish success. So, we get more victims and failures stepping forward.

Obama was comparing himself to Abe Lincoln and stated Lincoln was a Democrat....... WRONG ... he was a Republican. Just one of many mistakes Mr. Bama has made and not the last , I will bet.

Yep... Lincoln in his day was not really liked that much but History ( or so they say ) Proved he was right.

Hindsight helps us. The US would probably have had a tough time in WWI if we weren't one nation; we had the critical mass to withstand the rigors of war. And, in WWII, we most certainly would have perished if we were not a united country. Lincoln was right. Some may not have liked him for their own reasons, but keeping the nation as one was the right thing to have done. It ensured our survival.

What we have to do NOW to ensure our survival, is a new challenge.
