We need a modern day Lincoln

Where are the great thinkers and statesmen of this generation with the logic, compromise, civility, integrity,and forbearance to be long term visionaries ,reformers, and constructionists, without the short term myopia of thin-skinned self- preservation? Accountability rings hollow, and even if impressive leaders emerge,the entrenched powers-that-be squash political independent minded credibility and minimize any significant contribution with a complicit fifth estate which demontrates a contaminated,unreliable , no longer objective viewpoint. Let's say someone like an Abraham Lincoln comes to the forefront.He would would not succeed in our current political arena, because our 16th president deferred, revered, and listened to God.Lincoln invoked God's name often in his speeches.When someone does that now, he or she is marginalized and deemed "a far right kook." Too many secularists have inundated the intelligensia with political correctness and hold our great Constitution hostage to "interpretation." Oh,to have now-for our country is in dire need- the magnificent brainpower, vision, aptitude and courage of our founding fathers.Their brilliance was not marred by intolerance for differing opinions, for that civil dissent produced great progress through compromise.Not so today. They must be turning over in their graves.
