David Brooks babbles in the Times today:
"Those of us stuck here in this wrestling-with-faith world find Lincoln to be our guide and navigator."
If you go behind the superficial Lincoln who was an astute politician....you find a darker side.
Lincoln was probably gay or bi-sexual in his early years.
And he was likely an atheist or agnostic for most of his adult life.
Of course he had the good sense to keep all of this in the background during his public years.....
But one thing Lincoln was definitely not....and that is a MORON! His favorite "philosopher" was not Jesus. Lincoln was a true child of the Enlightenment....but he never tried to put that in his "stump speech."
If Brooks thinks that Lincoln can be a reason to combine Chruch and Hate....think again!
