I heard something on the radio today that made me so sad. It was a political debate about Obamacare and I don't even know who the host was because he was just a fill-in for somebody else. He was going on and on about how terrible it was that congress has now exempted their own staffs from participating in the vast chaos we all see coming toward us like a freight train.
Not that the whole healthcare/Obamacare issue isn't sad enough, but the guy quoted Abraham Lincoln to make his point. He said, "We need to consider what Lincoln said--A house divided against itself cannot stand." AAAuuugh.
Lincoln? Lincoln is who he attributes that statement to? Okay, so, Lincoln gave a famous speech about the future of slavery where he co-opted that phrase, but those words belong to Jesus. What has happened to our country? What has happened to the Judeo-Christian make-up of our country? What has happened to people reading the Bible? What has happened to people caring what Jesus said? I can't believe it.
I'm a lover of Lincoln. He's been a hero of mine since I was a kid, but even he isn't a great enough guy to get credit for Jesus' words.
