What the hell does Lincoln have to do with George Bush? Lincoln's comments were derived from historically frequent use by others of the "house divided" consequence as a warning to gather support for in this case to stop the horrific killing and violence perpetrated on the Negroes, mixed races and others of the time. The nation was divided on this. He was a Republican who won election and acted to end discrimination. He made the tough calls against those who would enslave others. Of course he waivered: who wouldn't when facing those crushing responsibilities? At a huge cost of human life and his own, he could did no more than place the nation at the beginning of the path to end discrimination. It obviously did not end it. It's not complicated. But you angry whiners out there will always over-analyze, minimize and degrade any degree of success and more often than not, lack appreciation for sacrifice and those who make the tough call: get off your ass, open your ears, get informed and vote. You're an American: "Carry That Weight" . Lincoln did.
