You Gotta Love Abe... Lincoln, that is.

As we drove to work yesterday morning, Eddie and I listened to KFYI, much like we always do. If you don't know what station that is, all you need to know is that Rush is on it. :) Anyway, Sean Hannity read the following quote by Lincoln and Boetcker and how it applied to liberal views:

"You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
You cannot help small men by tearing down big men.
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
You cannot lift the wage-earner by pulling down the wage-payer.
You cannot help the poor man by destroying the rich.
You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than your income.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
You cannot establish security on borrowed money.
You cannot build character and courage by taking away men's initiative and independence.
You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves."

Not only are those quotes relevant to everyday society, but politically speaking, I can think of an instance involving a Democrat or Democratic legislature for every one of those quotes. I hope you all are registered to vote. Remember your values and not just passing trends.
