As much as I'd like to think Abe's words still hold up, looking at what's happening today makes me wonder. As far as the Republican 'Patriot' Party is concerned, the opposite is true - bullets are now more important than ballots. That's still a minor, but seemingly growing, part of our national fabric. From the 70's "radical left" to the 20's radical right, things are changing rapidly. Can the center hold?
