Ahhh! Where have all the Lincolns gone?...

Thank you for your post sharing the "personal" information. For, in the final analysis it is that information which makes us understand who we are, and what this great country is about...

Your statement that "...to imply that progressive political expressions are left wing wacko is tantamount to calling us traitors.  There is a traitor, but it isn't those of us who work to challenge the lessor decisions of government." is the struff that brings tears to my eyes knowing I am an AMERICAN and live in a land that is populated by fellow citizens like you...

President Lincoln would be proud to see that his decendants have not forsaken the ideals to which he dedicated his life...

Good Luck to you...
