You cannot...

I want to vomit more often than not when I hear the news and realize what the president is doing to my Republic, where he is steering it.  

I know you have probably seen this before but I thought it worthy of repeating, so here it is.  It is often misattributed to Abraham Lincoln, but originates from William J.H. Boetcker, who was a minister who died in 1962.  Reagan quoted it in 92 at the Republican convention in Houston.  Someone should get obama to believe it.  It is very good.

You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.

You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.

You cannot help little men by tearing down big men.

You cannot lift the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer.

You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.

You cannot establish sound security on borrowed money.

You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.

You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn.

You cannot build character and courage by destroying men's initiative and independence.

And you cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they can and should do for themselves.
