‘Tear down the Abe Lincoln statue in Chicago’s Lincoln Park’

The headline above is from a prescient post in 2017. Read it to see some of the things in Chicago that also will have to be pulled down, renamed, destroyed and forgotten because they insulted someone.

Obviously, it has gotten worse in the past three years thanks to the out-of-control black lives matter movement.

Here, I’ll repeat the forgotten words of reconciliation that Lincoln spoke in his Second Inaugural Address:

With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation’s wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.

Amen.
