Quote of the Day- President Lincoln on the Declaration of Independence


"They (the Founding Fathers) meant to set up a standard maxim for free society, which should be familiar to all, and revered by all; constantly looked to, constantly labored for, and even though never perfectly attained, constantly approximated, and thereby constantly spreading and deepening its influence, and augmenting the happiness and value of life to all people of all colors everywhere.” - President Abraham Lincoln

  1. What would Lincoln have thought about a "right" to privacy later interpreted as a "right" of a mother to kill her baby? I'll bet he would say that no such "rights" were ever a part (and never intended to be a part) of our founding documents.
