Just read the end of the Gettysburg Address:
. . . and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
Oh yeah, right, the People's Democratic Republic of the United States of America.
Need i say more?
Hmmmm
A racist and a commie...
just like Marx.
Aaron Copland, the most adorable Communist American culture has ever produced, wrote a charming if cheesy tribute to Lincoln called A Lincoln Portrait in 1942, an orchestral piece overlaid with spoken bits of narration from famous Lincoln texts. You can always tell when a recording was made before the McCarthy witch hunts and when a recording was made after. The giveaway line is the one you quoted above. A post-McCarthy narrator will usually read the line thus: "OF the people, BY the people, FOR the people..."
A pre-McCarthy narrator will usually read the line thus: "of the PEOPLE, by the PEOPLE, for the PEOPLE!"
so where did it all go wrong eh?
the PDRUSA
or PRUDSA
has a nice ring to it
United Popular States of America- UPSA

There is no up nor down, save in relation to bodies possessing gravity, in which case "down" is towards the gravitational centre of the mass in question, and "up" is in the opposite direction.
Therefore, you's isa downsabottom.
Yousa know the problem with wabbits? They'sa upsand downsa and upsa and downsa, all the time so yousa don't know what'sa upsa or downsa.
Wabbit, yousa funny, but it'sa my bedtime--I'm going downsa for now.

I would have thought, with the northern hemisphericism you have displayed so far, that you would be going upsa to bed.
