@DaRev3rend I think you mistake fore father with founding father.A fore father is an ancestor, one who goes before. Im just saying since you seem to be such a stickler.

@PapagenoJuan2 Good point. And since I am a Libertarian, and not a liberal or a conservative or a D or an R, I'm happy to hear about the immoral acts of politicians from either party. All of the points you made above are interesting. Thanks! :)

@freesk8 If I recall, many other Democrats did the same during Wartime; John Adams signed the Alien and Removal Act to bar Frenchies from coming to America, FDR signed an act that imprisoned thousands of Japanese-Americans after the attack on Pearl Harbor, and during Wilson's presidency, he actively supported the Ku Klux Klan, calling them great angels towards the fallen south. See, Liberals can be assholes too

My hometown of Hodgenville, Ky, the birthplace of A. Lincoln, planned a huge celebration for the bicentennial but bad weather and a no show President Bush meant it came to nothing. There is a new statue of Lincoln as a boy on the town square/circle.
