I Know Abe Lincoln!
So I said to him, “Barack, I know Abe Lincoln,
And you ain’t Abe Lincoln ..”
Obama has made numerous attempts to quote Lincoln
SO WHY DOESN’T OBAMA USE THIS FAMOUS LINCOLN QUOTE:
You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
You cannot build character and courage by taking away people’s initiative and independence.
You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves.
… Abraham Lincoln

“We urge members of the Church and all Americans to begin now to reflect more intently on the meaning and importance of the Constitution, and of adherence to its principles. . . .
“In these challenging days, when there are so many influences which would divert us, there is a need to rededicate ourselves to the lofty principles and practices of our Founding Fathers.
“Let us not permit these admonitions of our living prophets to fall on deaf ears. Let us, as they direct, learn the meaning and importance of our God-ordained Constitution. Let us rededicate ourselves to the lofty principles and practices of those wise men whom God raised up to give us our priceless freedom. Our liberties, our salvation, our well-being as a church and as anation depend upon it.”
Next to life, we express gratitude for the gift of free agency. When thou didst create man, thou placed within him part of thine Omnipotence and bade him choose for himself. Liberty and conscience thus became a sacred part of human nature. Freedom not only to think, but to speak and act, is a God-given privilege. [Dedication of the London Temple by President David O. McKay]
Hear the words of President Wilford Woodruff:
Those men who laid the foundation of this American government and signed the Declaration of Independence were the best spirits the God of Heaven could find on the face of the earth. They were choice spirits . . . inspired of the Lord.
Everyone of those men that signed the Declaration of Independence, with George Washington, . . . called upon me, as an Apostle of the Lord Jesus Christ, in the Temple at St. George two consecutive nights and demanded at my hand that I should go forth and attend to the ordinances of the house of God for them. . . .
Would those spirits have called upon me, as an Elder in Israel, to perform that work if they had not been noble spirits before God? They would not. . . . Said they: “. . . We laid the foundation of the government you now enjoy, and we never apostatized from it, but we remained true to it and were faithful to God.”
America Is A ‘Promised Land’. (Records of History)
And it came to pass after we had all gone down into the ship, and had taken with us our provisions and things which had been commanded us, we did put forth into the
sea and were driven forth before the wind towards the
promised land.
And it came to pass that I, Nephi, did guide the ship, that we sailed again towards the promised land.
And it came to pass that after we had sailed for the space of many days we did arrive at the promised land; and we went forth upon the land, and did pitch our tents; and we did call it the promised land. 1 Ne. 18: 8, 22-23, 25
And he also spake unto them concerning the
land of
promise, which they had obtained—how
merciful the Lord had been in
warning us that we should flee out of the
land of Jerusalem.
But, said he, notwithstanding our afflictions, we have obtained a
land of
promise, a
land which is
choice above all other
lands; a
land which the Lord God hath
covenanted with me should be a
land for the inheritance of my seed.
Yea, the Lord hath
covenanted this
land unto me, and to my children forever, and also all those who should be
led out of other countries by the hand of the Lord.
Wherefore, I, Lehi, have obtained a
promise, that
inasmuch as those whom the Lord God shall bring out of the
land of Jerusalem shall keep his commandments, they shall
prosper upon the face of this
land; and they shall be kept from all other nations, that they may possess this
land unto themselves. And if it so be that they shall
keep his commandments they shall be blessed upon the face of this
land, and there shall be none to molest them, nor to take away the
land of their
inheritance; and they shall dwell safely forever.
But behold, when the time cometh that they shall dwindle in
unbelief, after they have received so great blessings from the hand of the Lord—having a knowledge of the creation of the earth, and all men, knowing the great and marvelous works of the Lord from the creation of the world; having power given them to do all things by faith; having all the commandments from the beginning, and having been brought by his infinite goodness into this precious
land of
promise—
behold, I say, if the day shall come that they will reject the Holy One of Israel, the true Messiah, their Redeemer and their God, behold, the judgments of him that is just shall rest upon them. 2 Ne. 1: 3, 5, 9-10, 24
