Lincoln was all, "No, but if you're super duper nice, I'll put 'In God We Trust' on our currency." More or less just to appease them.<BR/>It was kind like how adding 'Under God' to the pledge of allegiance was basically just a way of sticking it to pink-o Commie scum.<BR/>I just find it amusing at how the Religious Right Wing believe the forefathers were all about uniting Christian beliefs with the Government and how they find it sad that we're getting away from that. When actually, it's the exact opposite.<BR/>I also find it appalling that there was not one mention of Evil Lincoln in your post. That dude was crazy. And what about when Lincoln fed poisoned milk to school children?Dr. Bitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13568570859981368717noreply@blogger.com
