    Honest Abe

    When Palin said "That's what we have to make sure that we are praying for -- that there is a plan and that that plan is God's plan," she was basically echoing the words of Lincoln, who said "Let us not pray that God is on our side, let us pray that we are on God's side"

    Palin is evil and must be stopped, but the line in question is actually quite acceptable.
