Honest Abe!

A quick note to all politicians.....
If you lie during your campaign, and your opponent does not. After the election is over, no matter who wins, you still have a title...liar, and your opponent has one as well....integrity. Is it worth it?

Abraham Lincoln is one of my favorite presidents; did you know he was born dirt poor in a one room log cabin? Rumor has it that one room cabin only had three walls. Anyway his family was so poor they left Kentucky where Abe was born for Illinois, because they didn't have the finances to defend their property claim when it was challenged. Abe rose to greatness because his mother, and later step-mother inspired him to educate himself.

Now imagine if today's social programs had been in place back then....Would Abe been capable of rising above the entitlement system, to become the great self educated leader he is admired for today? Who would have led this country away from the legality of owning slaves, had Abe been a victim of today's social programs? What future great leaders are falling victim to entitlements, robbed of the struggle that builds the character, greatness is based upon? I can't help but wonder if ole Abe would have been so persistent and overcome all the setbacks, had an easy path to mediocrity been laid at his feet!

Abe taught himself to be American, he just as easily could have taught himself to be Hitler. Children need to be taught to be proud of their heritage and understand the roots they came from, not the altered curriculum the government is providing in school today. The children are being taught to be socialist, infected with social justice ideology, not equal justice for all, the principle our country was founded upon. It's our job, like Abe Lincoln's parents did, to instill the proper in our youth. Teach them the principles we based this great nation on, and teach them to cling dearly to them!

God Bless!
Capt. Bill
