What Abe Lincoln Would Say if He Were With Us Now

Truth is always truth, today, tomorrow and yesterday.

This quote was in a AR blog earlier today:

In 55 BC the Roman statesman Cicero wrote: "The budget should be balanced, the treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed, lest we become bankrupt. The people must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance."

Hmmmm

Hi Dave

Our fore fathers had great insight, our elected officials in Washington need a refresher course on what makes this country great.

Good luck and success

We may have to learn the hard way.  We saw the same sentiments when Carter was elected.  The welfare system was implemented and the country imploded. We are in a situation whereby neither candidate will get 100% support of their party as they are both to the extreme side of the party's political beliefs.  Carter was a main stream democrat.  Thus, I doubt seriously that we will end up being such a welfare state to the point of socialism.  There are alot of democrats that will not fall for socialism. We will survive.

Still waiting for Joe the plumber to save the world......

We are on the same page. You can re-blog my post if that helps or if you have an outside blog you can put it there. We are so blind, most folks dont' even understand what is happening.

Dave - History repeats itself... These words are as timely today as they were then.  It's sad that we can't get the masses to see that we haven't moved forward a bit, we have the same problems now as we did then...  Thank you for sharing these very powerful words!

I think my Partner's wise old grandmother was right: "If you don't study history, you're bound to repeat it." with the premise being, of course, that the world should always become better in that one should work hard to leave his own little space a little better when he dies than it was when he was born.

It's amazing that we can't reach the masses with good information because our younger generation is too busy putting crap no MySpace and a couple of billion people who want good information are censored by their governments.

Lincoln understood human nature.   That, coupled with the fact, that he was a strong student of history,  made him an unshaking voice of reason.

We should listen...

I say a brilliant mind....  He is turning over in his grave as we type....

Thanks for posting. I'm sharing this with others. Definitely should still be words to live by toda and tomorrow.

History books were wrong old honest Abe was really old honest and wise Abe.

I'm thinking where is he now? Congratulations on your 1st anniversary of joining Activerain!

Well said Dave
