Dems exploit King funeral for political gain.

[FORD]

Anybody remember Reagan's funeral?

Better yet, how about the 6 weeks of idolatrous worship that surrounded it?

Of course, that wasn't partisan.....

[Cathedral]

Sure it was, and it was disgusting just the same.
This idea that we have adopted, the do unto others as they do unto you, is sad.

We should be speaking out against our political leaders acting like children instead of rallying behind them in support of such behavior.

but hey, that's just me...

Dear Madam,

I have been shown in the files of the War Department a statement of the Adjutant General of Massachusetts, that you are the mother of five sons
who have died gloriously on the field of battle.

I feel how weak and fruitless must be any words of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But
I cannot refrain from tendering to you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the Republic they died to save.

I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours, to have
laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of Freedom.

Yours very sincerely and respectfully
A. Lincoln


Yeah, he was an atheist...

[LoungeMachine]

I refuse to even read this thread, let alone participate in it.


Fuck ANY of you Cons in here that agree with this thread title.

Just Fuck You.

You're too stupid to even get it.

[ELVIS]

Get what ??

[diamondD]

Who the fuck cares?

LINCOLN never belonged to a church, and never said he was a Christian. He was also accused of being an "infidel" and a heathen....

Ron Reagan took a cheap shot at Bush at that funeral too.

I think you're confusing him with his wife, who liked to do seances.

[ULTRAMAN VH]

I agree with Cathedral, vote green. Both parties behave like school children.

Atheist is the wrong word LINCOLN. Be he was a primal, intuitive when it came to religion and rejected organized religion. He also believed in precognition/ESP...

It's been said that he dreamt his own death, as President, on more than one occasion...

[Warham]

I've got precognition as well. I'm usually able to tell you which tune is coming on the musak system at the grocery store before the song is actually played.

I don't think that'll make me any money though.

No, that was Nancy Reagan.

No, Nancy was just interested in astrology.

Abraham Lincoln didn't talk much about religion, even with his best friends, and you're right, he didn’t belong to any church.

But he once confided to a friend that his religious code was the same as an old man he knew in Indiana, who said, “When I do good, I feel good, and when I do bad, I feel bad, and that’s my religion.”
