HONEST ABE DAY

His life was what America was all about. An average boy, born on this day in 1809 on a farm in a log cabin in Hodgenville, Kentucky, was able to become the 16th President of the United States.

He studied hard, by the light of a fireplace, to become first, a lawyer, then a statesman. Abraham Lincoln, one of the most revered U.S. Presidents, served his country during one of the most turbulent times in its history. The term of his presidency (1861-1865) encompassed the Civil War between the States. His Emancipation Proclamation made on January 1, 1863 to free slaves; and his Gettysburg Address given on November 19, 1863 at the site of one of the most famous battlegrounds of the Civil War are still held high as classic statements of democratic beliefs and goals.

President Lincoln was also responsible for one of the most popular holidays in the U.S.: Thanksgiving Day. He proclaimed that the last Thursday of November shall be observed as such. And so it was, and still is.

Abraham Lincoln lived during tragic times and died a tragic death. While watching a performance of Our American Cousin at Washington’s Ford Theatre, he was shot by John Wilkes Booth and died a few hours later. Lincoln was the first U.S. President to be assassinated.

‘Honest Abe’ earned his nickname when he was practicing law in Illinois. It was his unfailing honesty that made him known throughout the state. When convinced that his client was right, he could argue the case strongly. If not convinced, he was hardly powerful in his client’s defense. Lincoln would persuade clients to settle out of court even though that meant he would receive a lesser fee. And, when this was not possible, he could argue a case equally as well before a judge or before an uneducated jury. To Abe Lincoln, being a lawyer or President meant seeking the truth for client or for country.

Severe Condition (Red). A Severe Condition reflects a severe risk of terrorist attacks. Under most circumstances, the Protective Measures for a Severe Condition are not intended to be sustained for substantial periods of time. In addition to the Protective Measures in the previous Threat Conditions, Federal departments and agencies also should consider the following general measures in addition to the agency-specific Protective Measures that they will develop and implement:

1.Increasing or redirecting personnel to address critical emergency needs;

2.Assigning emergency response personnel and pre-positioning and mobilizing specially trained teams or resources;

3.Monitoring, redirecting, or constraining transportation systems; and

4.Closing public and government facilities.

I don't know, kassie. It sounds like it could be regionalized, therefore limiting the repercussions of all those shut-downs?

I surely wish the Rs could/would just force the Dems to out and out fillibuster.

This twilight zone of quasi-filibuster is ridiculous.

[Molly Pitcher]

Thanks again! I just get the feeling we are being prepared for this eventuality....

[Pippin]

Tillacum, Didn't you read my whole post to Mr. Mulliner?

He asked me where the Secular Franciscans stand on the issue of Iraq.

I explained what I knew. I also said this is really confusing me as I find myself in a dilemma.

Go back and read that post til the end. I'm not a pacifist.

Have you guys read the Tom Clancy novel Executive Orders?

In the novel President Ryan is forced to shut the country down after Iranian terrorists release ebola in different cities. I think that is what would happen under a Code Red..

[Molly Pitcher]

Hi Pippin. You explained it well!

Michael Novak on Gibson's show...he's talking about his article from the other day, and why we are justified in our stance.

[Pippin]

I agree with that, Saint Francis would indeed shudder at the actions of these liberals.

[Molly Pitcher]

Hi Pippin. You explained it well!

Michael Novak on Gibson's show...he's talking about his article from the other day, and why we are justified in our stance.

He was gently critical of at least some in the Vatican and their anti-American comments.

Did FR just hiccup???

[Molly Pitcher]

Yes....

You know perhaps it's time to remind everyone to share contact info with 1 or 2 people here if you're willing.

Maybe you've already done this, but if not,,and you've been considering it, go ahead.

[Molly Pitcher]

I think so!

[Dog]

I guess the hamster is on his 15 minute coffee break...

[Pippin]

Thanks, Molly!

I hope Tillacum reads that post where I answered Mr. Mulliners quwstion, though, I think ahe thinks I'm a total pacifist. I'm not.
