A quote that all republicans should read!

All republicans (misinformed idiots) should read this quote. Carefully.

"You have no oath registered in Heaven to destroy the government, while I shall have the most solemn one to preserve..it." Lincoln, 1861

It may have been taken at midnight at a crossroad rather than on some official premises in the light of day, and may be registered in Hell rather than Heaven, but taken it was, and as sacred to these traitors as an oath to uphold the Constitution would be to a patriotic citizen....

And from the time of the Republic's greatest crisis come words from one of the original Republicans to embarrass today's Tea-baggers. Abraham Lincoln's words ring true today as well as yesterday.

I'd say those words have GOT to hurt, except that Tea-publicans practice denialism with history just as much as they do with climate change, hunger, economics, and common sense.

Can you imagine the twirling vortexes of spin-control and denialism that would come if Old Abe's words spread beyond these forums and out where the corporate lamestream media is forced to notice them? I'd enjoy watching McConnell, Gohmert, Lee, Cruz and their ilk trying to wish away the words of that old radical Abraham Lincoln.
