7. Lincoln was actually
Edited on Mon Jan-19-09 12:45 AM by brensgrrl
a Republican. They weren't always as bad or as nasty as they are now.

Another one of my favorite Presidents was a Republican--Dwight Eisenhower. It was Eisenhower who signed
Civil Rights Legislation in 1957, and it was Eisenhower who was so shocked by the nastiness in Little Rock
that he sent over 1000 Army Paratroopers to establish order there and he federalized the Arkansas National Guard
to guarantee the safety of black students at Central High.

Not all Republicans are bad. There are great people, people of integrity and conscience in BOTH parties.

This is what makes America GREAT!
