January 12, 2009 Abraham Lincoln
Today is the 200 year aniversary of the birthday of Abraham Lincoln. Here are some quotes: Freedom: "Those who deny freedom to others, deserve it not for themselves; and, under a just God, cannot long retain it." Conservatism: "What is conservatism? Is it not adherence to the old and tried, against the new and untried?" Friendship: "Am I not destroying my enmies when I make friends of them?" Abraham Lincoln in office was not bipartisn! He actually put those in Jail that opposed him, his total concern was to protect the Union. He went through a number of Generals until he found some that would succeed in the war! I am posting this in my blog because their are some lies about Lincoln being batted about today and in some schools. He was the 16th President and the next best President after George Washington!
The American Cowboy
This is the best magazine, and I put this in here just for Marty Steen. The american cowboy: Rugged individualism, honor, respect, humility, courage, Code of the West, and western heritage! I am proud to have grown up under these traits!
We are following the admonition of our leaders to share our knowledge [see message by Elder Ballard on this page]. Also Joseph Smith recieved this revelation as stated in the Doctrine and Covenants 130:18, "Whatever principle of intelligence we attain unto in this life, it will rise with us in the resurrection"
