In the words of Abraham Lincoln.......

Abraham Lincoln said this in a speech in1838:
"All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest; with a Bonaparte for commander, could not by force take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a thousand years.
     At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected?  I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up among us.  It cannot come from abroad.  If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher.  As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide."
175 years later we would do well to remember these words and change the course of this great country!
