HT to a reader for emailing us the following. History does repeat itself unless lessons are learned. Read on.... from a Townhall posting of June 6th:
The difference in presidential approval rates between Democrats and Republicans over the course of the Obama presidency and the last few years of the Bush presidency has been in the neighborhood of 70 points. This is the most polarized the nation has been in modern times. This deep division is driven, as was the case in the 1850’s, by fundamental differences in world view regarding what this country is about.
Then, of course, the question was can a country “conceived in liberty’, in Lincoln’s words, tolerate slavery.
Today the question is can a country “conceived in liberty” tolerate almost half its economy consumed by government, its citizens increasingly submitting to the dictates of bureaucrats, and wanton destruction of its unborn children. We wrestle today, as they did then, with the basic question of what defines a free society.
Well done Star Parker!! You can read her entire article HERE.
