"A house divided against itself cannot stand."
Edited on Wed Jan-06-10 02:49 PM by Blue_Roses
Abraham Lincoln's speech still resonates today:


"In my opinion, it will not cease, until a crisis shall have been reached, and passed..."



" We shall not fail-if we stand firm, we shall not fail. Wise counsels may accelerate, or mistakes delay it, but, sooner or later, the victory is sure to come."

1. "A house divided against itself cannot stand."
Bears repeating.

Unfortunate that many don't want a standing house..... :(

2. Nope, they want chaos....
or they want a burned down house with them standing guard in front of it. Protecting what they no longer have.

I am considered an anarchist by some but I do not want chaos. I just don't want someone with complete authority ruling over my every move. I want reasonable rules that can be followed without having to sacrifice complete independent thought. Not too much to ask for is it? ;)

3. I fear that is the case, the highly recced Nader thread
suggests that there is a non-Democratic force at work on DU.
