I suspect if Lincoln's later speeches and actions had kept in line with what he said in 1858, he would not have been despised to the extent that he was - especially in the South.RCPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04251247613686669877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-14658873134854136762012-09-18T14:31:23.186-07:002012-09-18T14:31:23.186-07:00It's not a complete biopic; I believe most of ...It's not a complete biopic; I believe most of it is set during his presidency.DJnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-13439093403981038352012-09-18T14:25:10.578-07:002012-09-18T14:25:10.578-07:00I would rather they'd made Chasing Mavericks w...I would rather they'd made Chasing Mavericks with Jeffrey Dean Morgan.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-36559961865453347772012-09-18T13:52:59.271-07:002012-09-18T13:52:59.271-07:00@Johnny Walker: I guess they're cutting out th...@Johnny Walker: I guess they're cutting out the sentimental epilogue then.<br />(Spoken with tear in eye) "If it wasn't for Honest Abe...".Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06248182899977033579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-5199184963400701102012-09-18T13:22:58.069-07:002012-09-18T13:22:58.069-07:00I have to wonder whether the folks making movies b...I have to wonder whether the folks making movies based on Atlas Shrugged actually read the books?
