The signs of this are all around us!<br />------------<br />TomCat,<br />It never ceases to amaze me how the GOP started out as a progressive party, but not even 20 years into their existence became foever damned to the corruption of banks and big business (with the brief exception of the Teddy Roosevelt years). That's why I always laugh when I hear modern-day Repubs talk with reverence about Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt.Jack Jodellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02165430903903838990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6234638383123311700.post-27595134464190705972009-09-22T13:04:35.560-05:002009-09-22T13:04:35.560-05:00Love these, Jack.

(I'm humbled by the inclusion btw)<br />Everytime you aggregate one of these collected masterworks of perspectives from different time periods, it inspires me to read more Gandhi, Jefferson, Lincoln, Roosevelt et al.<br />There seemed to be some very hard thinking going on all over the place at one time in our country and all over the world.<br />Now policy makers think "twittering" is communication... yet no one today is microblogging statements like the ones you just posted.<br />-SJSJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17181694732531476160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6234638383123311700.post-77840918773458412412009-09-22T10:07:05.543-05:002009-09-22T10:07:05.543-05:00Thanks, Gwendolyn.

I like to delve into the wisdom of the ages on occasion, and especially to present the liberal Abe Lincoln's comments, since today's ultra-conservative GOP loves to paradoxically call thesmselves the "party of Lincoln." Just another fact they've severely misinterpreted...Jack Jodellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02165430903903838990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6234638383123311700.post-73324890089958916712009-09-22T10:02:25.377-05:002009-09-22T10:02:25.377-05:00Sorry---I accidentally put on the moderation featu...Sorry---I accidentally put on the moderation feature for comments---will have to fix that!Jack Jodellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02165430903903838990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6234638383123311700.post-53621723261953470932009-09-22T09:59:20.854-05:002009-09-22T09:59:20.854-05:00That one is brilliant.
