Charlie Daniels: Of the People, By the People, for the People? BS!

“[A]nd that government of the people, by the people, and for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”

We are all familiar with this excerpt from Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, powerful words that sum up the proper governing philosophy for America in one simple phrase.

I wonder what Mr. Lincoln would think about how his words, and what they mean, are being ignored by the political leaders of today.

I think Lincoln is probably roiling over in his grave when he witnesses how the radical left has twisted and "fundamentally transformed" his quote to equate to....

“[A]nd that government of thecertain people, by thecertain people, and for thecertain people, shall not perish from the earth.”

As we are seeing from leftist-run states like California.... the rights and opinions of legal citizens of America are being ignored while freebies/benefits, like free health insurance, is being given to illegal immigrants.... all at the expense of legal citizens and against their (our) wishes.   It is the very definition of 'taxation without representation'... and I believe one war has already been fought over that same issue.
