UNION - Postcard

The contrast between Abraham Lincoln and the modern Republican Party is glaring. Lincoln fought for democracy and union; modern Republicans fight for money and self-interest. Lincoln was (by report) an unassuming and humble man; it is hard to name one modern Republican who is not awash in arrogance and hubris. Lincoln built the Transcontinental Railroad and won the Civil War; the present crop created the Second Great Republican Depression, launched an assault on immigrants and women, and mired us in two unwinnable wars. Lincoln worked for "One Nation Indivisible", freedom and justice; modern Republicans work to divide, oppress and reject. Lincoln had hope for our country; the moderns have only fears for, and of it. This comparison can continue a long way - Think of "Abe-Them" pairs in your own experience. Disgusting, ain't it?
