I know I am not alone in revering Abraham Lincoln, and thinking he was the best president this nation has ever had. Each time I go to the Lincoln Memorial I read the Gettysburg Address and the 2nd Inauguration speech on the walls and get chills. I came across a quote database site (www.quotedb.com) and some of his quotes. This one struck me as particularly apt, in this day and age when our constitutional freedoms (that so many have died to protect throughout our history) are slowly being taken away in the guise of fighting terrorism (which is in itself odd, because terrorism’s main goal is to cower and intimidate the target into altering its behavior—precisely what we are doing)

America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.
