"Ian Murray" <seamus2001 at attbi.com> quotes:
> Leading that left-wing lunatic Abe Lincoln to assert:
>
> "We may congratulate ourselves that this cruel war is nearing
> its end.
> It has cost a vast amount of treasure and blood. . . .
> It has indeed been a trying hour for the Republic; but
> I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me
> and causes
> me to tremble for the safety of my country. As a result of the
> war,
> corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in
> high places
> will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor
> to prolong
> its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until
> all wealth
> is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed.
> I feel at this moment more anxiety for the safety
> of my country than ever before, even in the midst of war.
> God grant that my suspicions may prove groundless."

Neat! Do you have a cite so I can use it?
