I'd loved to have placed all the Lincoln-haters in chains, and see then what they'd have thought about a man who liberated them. It's easy to yammer about states rights when you were not a slave.

President Lincoln wanted all men, everywhere, to be free.

That rankles the neo-rebs.

Where two or more are gathered in His name...no, wait, that's Jesus (sometimes that distinction on FR gets blurred a bit).

Anyway, it's just Wednesday, a little early for church.

Preach on, Walt, the choir appears to have been summoned.
