    To be a Lincoln man is to have a full heart and live in dignified repose. Dr. Cornelius is a true Lincoln man.

    And suspended "Habeas Corpus." Started the IRS. Had the State of Maryland House of Representatives arrested. Had an Arrest warrant drawn up for Supreme Court Justice Taney. Had 300 Newspaper editors arrested and jailed. (So much for the 1st. amendment). " While they do remain together there must be a position of superior and inferior, and I, as much as any other man am in favor of having the the superior position assigned to the white race." Abraham Lincon. This is your great emancipator. (sigh)

    What do you mean the constitution is not clear about Abortion Gun rights especially, gay marriage...etc. It is very clear, number one The second amendment tells us that we have the right to own and bear arms as a means of protection from a tyrannical government. Number two, the basis of the constitution also tells us that we have the individual right to do what we want to do, think how we want to think, believe what we want to believe as long as we don't harm others in the doing of such acts. And that is where you get into the final one, when you have an abortion you are harming another, you can't say it is apart of your body because it separates from you after a time. Being a part of your body is something that is not supposed to be removed from one's self. So to say that you have the right to do that is falts, not to mention that what if it's a female baby you are talking about, you mean to tell me that she does not have the right to choose to live?

    The word 'gun' is not used. So you would be okay if everyone owned a nuclear "arm"? What about chemical and biological weapons?

    @@sputnickers and guess what, of that happened and they were used incorrectly, the military would take care of that terrorist threat, if they threatened to harm others. The military swear an oath the protect and uphold the constitution from foreign and domestic threats. If you look closely and actually read the Constitution with it's Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence, you will see that everything was laid out for us clearly and all we need to do is follow it. Go read the Constitution since you think it said not all arms can be owned because of changing times and tech. Of you don't like it go to China or Russia, I don't care.

    @@mr.disorganized6287 Sounds honorable. But couldn't the same argument be made against your point? Guns take away the rights (and life) of thousands each year, and yet you are seemingly okay with that. I see your point, but I see the other side crystal clear as well.
