Hacktivist Group Announces Statue Toppling Day

There once was a President who, upon a great battlefield told us “It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us — that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion — that we here highly resolve that these dead shall mot have died in vain — that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”

I guess these ass-hats forgot the Great Emancipator also said, though it was not his intention to be prophetic, “On the occasion corresponding to this four years ago all thoughts were anxiously directed to an impending civil war. All dreaded it, all sought to avert it. While the inaugural address was being delivered from this place, devoted altogether to saving the Union without war, insurgent agents were in the city seeking to destroy it without war — seeking to dissolve the Union and divide effects by negotiation. Both parties deprecated war, but one of them would make war rather than let the nation survive, and the other would accept war rather than let it perish, and the war came.”

Lincoln’s Second Inaugural Address ends most appropriately with these words: “With malice toward none. with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation’s wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and all nations.”

42 days later Abraham Lincoln was killed by an agent of hate, John Wilkes Booth, an anarchist not unlike the anarchists of today who would see the destruction of this Country and the ruin of the last best hope for Liberty.
