If it would cut the Lincoln quotes to zero it would be a good thing!

Hardly. Respect him or hate him, Lincoln was by far our most eloquent president and his speeches and writings are well worth studying. From his Lyceum address in 1838 to the last public words he spoke in 1865, the man had a command of the English language that few can match and none can beat. Insisting on a one-for-one with him and Davis has only one purpose, to remove Lincoln from Texas history books. Which is your right. But how can you complain when other's want to do it as well, only to parts of history important to you?
