H.L. Mencken on Abraham Lincoln
If you have never read H.L. Mencken, he is worth discovering. A strident skeptic of anything Christian (to put it mildly), he thought extremely highly of Protestant New Testament scholar and apologist J. Gresham Machen, even penning a poignant obituary for Machen upon Machen's death. A lover of liberty, he found Abraham Lincoln to be worthy of great criticism (again, to put it mildly). The attached document is a short piece by Mencken on Lincoln. Particularly interesting is Mencken's criticism of Lincoln's "Gettysburg Address." Of the heart of Lincoln's argument Mencken can say, "It is difficult to imagine anything more untrue." Enjoy!
P.S. This Mencken quote found at www.freerepublic.com
