Happy Birthday Mr. Lincoln

On January 20 after the swearing in of President Obama. I visited the National Portrait Gallery's exhibit, "The Mask of Lincoln." While there I had the opportunity to re-read some of President Lincoln's speeches and letters. A remarkable man during turbulent time. Our country should be proud of such a great president. Here are some of his words that still have great importance for our country today.

"You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
You cannot help small men by tearing down big men.
You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
You cannot lift the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer.
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
A man's incentive and independence.
You cannot help men permanently by doing for them
What they could and should do themselves."

Abraham Lincoln

You can Keep the Faith(based) Plan

President Barack Obama last week unveiled his version of the Faith-base plan. After repeated promises during his campaign to reduce abortions in his administration, he has not come up with any concrete plans to do so. In fact after rescinding the Mexico City policy (preventing overseas dollars for abortion) and a pork filled stimulus package, Obama's Faith-base plan calls for more "Family Planning". This is the same old sorry babble we always hear from secular leftist that take tax dollars to fund programs that only provide incentives for risky sexual behavior. It has been over forty years of so called comprehensive sex education that has brought us higher abortion rates, unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases in urban areas where they really need traditional family structures and moral guidance.

Pro-Life African American Heads GOP

What a way to start Black History Month. The Grand Old Party, founded in part for the Abolition of Slavery now has an African American as its Chairman. More than just a party leader Michael Steele is a conservative Christian (Catholic) who served as a pro-life Lt. Governor of Maryland and ran as a pro-life senatorial candidate in 2006. What I like most about Mr. Steele is that even-though he has always been a man of faith and principle, he knows how to connect with those who may differ from him ideologically.
As I watched all six rounds of balloting at the Capital Hilton, I saw Whites, Blacks, Latinos and Asians gleam with excitement as he took to the stage. My prayer is that he inspires more Americans to embrace traditional role of limited government and becomes a vocal advocate for the unborn.
