quote for the day

"I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. . . corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed."

Abraham Lincoln, 21 November 1864

You'd think the GOP would wanna listen to the words of their second most favorite hero (third? fourth? maybe no hero at all, but something much like the token black), but it seems not.
