Executive Echo - Lincoln

[Chief Executive]

From Abraham Lincoln's First Inaugural Address, 3/4/61:

This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing Government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it or their revolutionary right to dismember or overthrow it.

From Abraham Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address, 3/4/65:

With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.

Gaybraham Lincoln:

I wish I could find some of the love letters that Lincoln wrote to his male "friend." Very mushy stuff.

I don't want to go on the record of accusing Lincoln of buggery. I personally have not seen sufficient evidence. But seriously, you should read those letters...

Here's a picture of Gaybraham thinking about interracial gay sex:

Has anybody seen that documentary on the History Channel about Lincoln? He had the most horrible life of anybody I have ever seen (except maybe jimi hendrix). It went into the prospect of Lincoln being gay. During the Civil War, Lincoln sometimes lived in a military hospital in Washington so that he could be with the troops. Apparently there was a young Captain that Lincoln became very close too and they would often sleep in the same room together. According to the show, up until a few years ago, nobody ever equated this with being gay. I guess two men sharing (or really anybody) sharing a room or even a bed was very common because there was no other real way of keeping warm. The show also went into Lincoln's relationship with women. He was desperately in love with 3 women throughout the course of his life, and all three of them died tragically in his arms. His mother had some sort of disease that literally ate her insides. It took weeks for her to die and all of her internal organs were slowing eaten away. He was a young boy, and his task was to clean the puss and blood as it slowly oozed out of her body. He also lost his father, grandparents, and all of his bros and sis's all by the age of 10. Because of this, Lincoln really had a very screwed up way of looking at the world. The thing that struck me is that there is no possible way Lincoln could ever be elected today. The tragedies in his life were just too horrible and numerous.

fyi: James Buchanon (the Prez before Lincoln I think ?), on the other hand, definitely was gay. Even people living during that time knew he was gay. Behind his back all of his friends and cabinent members referred to him as President Nancy. He had a twenty year relationship with a man who was Vice President in the Administration before him. Since he was a life long bachelor, Pres Buchanon asked his niece to be the social director at the white house. Since she was not the President's wife, nobody knew what to call her. That is where the term "First Lady" comes from, and is the only reason why I remember any of that.
