“… we cannot escape history.”

what unites the Republican Party, on this 150th anniversary of the murder of Lincoln, is that they are against the type of progressive legislation that gave rise to their party. Lincoln is an oil painting in the parlor, to be dusted off while Republican leaders plot new ways to kill things that he would have approved of. What we know for sure again comes from Lincoln: “Fellow citizens, we cannot escape history.”
