I agree with Mike. WTH??? Yeah...we know a tail is not a leg and that having a tail doesn't make the dog have 5 legs, but whats the point...the theme???

LOL! Am I the only one here that gets Lincoln? Possibly. I suffer from the same disorder he had. "Melancholia" can certainly cause a person to see things differently. Lincoln's brand of liberalism is not at all what liberalism today. I always thought I was a liberal, I mean, for years I believed that. I was a hippie. Then I found out that today's so called "liberals" hijacked what I believed in. Gave the word liberal so much elasticity that I didn't recognize it. Now I'm known as a conservative, thank God.

This is quote is great, especially for modern day Liberals or Progressives, just becuase "you" say so doesn't make it true!!!
