Thanks.

I’m posting this in part because (a) today is Lincoln’s birthday, (b) I don’t want it to be sent down the memory hole by current culture.

We used to have two separate holidays in February, one for Lincoln’s birthday and one for Washington’s birthday. One for the one who saved the Union, one for the one who founded our country.

I am seeing a disturbing current trend of people who think that the current mongrel holiday of “Presidents Day” is meant to celebrate all presidents, most notably Democrat presidents, and your current and favorite Democrat presidents especially.

https://www.history.com/topics/holidays/presidents-day

“Presidents’ Day is a federal holiday celebrated on the third Monday in February; Presidents’ Day 2023 will occur on Monday, February 20. Originally established in 1885 in recognition of President George Washington, the holiday became popularly known as Presidents’ Day after it was moved as part of 1971’s Uniform Monday Holiday Act, an attempt to create more three-day weekends for the nation’s workers. While several states still have individual holidays honoring the birthdays of Washington, Abraham Lincoln and other figures, Presidents’ Day is now popularly viewed as a day to celebrate all U.S. presidents, past and present.”

Please note the last sentence. It’s a way of wiping out history.
