I find it quite amusing that President Obama chooses to compare himself to our 16th president of these United States of America. Im thinking that in most of the decisions made by President Obama they would be completly opposite of those of Abraham Lincoln.
Abraham Lincoln / First Inaugural Address, March 4, 1861
" Apprehension seems to exist among the people of the Southern States that by the accession of a Republican Administration their property and their peace and personal security are to be endangered. There has never been any reasonable cause for such apprehension."
I would like to add in my feelings with the help of our 16th President to describe how many Americans are feeling today.
*** Apprehension seems to exist among the people of the
United States of America that by the accession of the
Obama Administration their property and their peace and personal security are to be endangered.
There is reasonable cause for such apprehension.***
I could list a number of actions by President Obama that suggest how we might be losing our freedoms.
* The Magical Apology Tour*
* no more " war on Terror*
* Unsecured boarders* ( this has been a problem for many years )
* Uncontrolled spending which will cause deficits for our children and grandchildren*
* Cap and Trade / global warming nonsence*
* Government take-over of private industry*
This list can continue and Im sure that their are many more examples of "Change" that will weaken our country and quench the "Hope" that we have as free people!
I'll end this opinion with the words of Abraham Lincoln on his First Inaugural Address.
" Intelligence, patriotism, Christianity, and a firm reliance on Him who has never yet forsaken this favored land are still competent to adjust in the best way all our present difficulty."
" In your hands, my dissatisfied fellow-countrymen, and not mine, is the momentous issue of civil war. The government will not assail you. You can have no conflict without being yourselves the aggressors. You have no oath registered in heaven to destroy the Government, while I shall have the most solemn one to " preserve, protect, and defend it."
" I am loath to close. We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature."
