"But there are times to compromise, and times to lead. Abraham Lincoln was all elbows, and his cause was righteous."

President Bush IS leading...and he's doing so in a time that is vastly different from Lincoln's. ~ Lincoln HAD to push his principles through with his elbows and shoulders. ~ because it was the most effective way to pierce the fog of war.

Today, while we live in a moment when the overwhelming number of Americans are ready to end Affirmative Action as it is now written ~ this same majority is not prepared to appear unconcerned about "minorities".

Lincoln's principles are alive and they are well. It is up to us to encourage them by using the tools available to us in the times in which we live.

President Bush is doing this; and I support his convictions and applaud political acumen.

Mr. Lincoln wouldn't even recognize the place, and they would arrest him if he showed up.......
