In case people forgot, Lincoln was a Republican as was Teddy Roosevelt. The last true Republican was Nixon. I am disgusted by Republicans who loathe Progressives, Teddy Roosevelt was a progressive. It meant to improve things, to protect people, to promote good government rather than government controlled by special interests. It was the Republican progressives that created Civil Service, prior to that, when someone became President, they replaced all the federal government employees with their own lackeys. Teddy thought that was a bad thing.
What happened to the Republican party? When did we become such selfish Anti-America swine? When did we think that sending jobs to Communist China was a good idea>
There is a line in the Bible, In 2 Timothy 3. It says"
1But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days.
2People
will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud,
abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,
3without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good,
4treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God—
5having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.
6They
are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over
gullible women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all
kinds of evil desires,
7always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth.
8Just
as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these teachers oppose the
truth. They are men of depraved minds, who, as far as the faith is
concerned, are rejected.
9But they will not get very far because, as in the case of those men, their folly will be clear to everyone.
