So while we are on the subject... what IS the *Log Cabin* ?

[sundog]

Is it a remote woodsy Appalachian hideway where 19th century Republicans gathered to discuss attack strategies on Grover Cleveland while nibbling on Brie & writhing in sweaty, passionate man-love?

Or is it Satan's earthly weekend getaway where our misguided bothers and sisters go to sell their soul for a pat on the back fron Ed Gillespie?

What is *THE* Log Cabin? :shrug:

[liontamer]

1. the former

but the phrase is in reference to abe lincoln who shared a bed with a man for years

[sundog]

3. ahh... so it's simply a *figurative* place?

I was wondering where *THE* log cabin was :hi:

7. Isn't that a nice story?

Yes, Lincoln did share a bed with his law partner, Joshua Speed, for years. And there are surviving letters between the two that suggest that Lincoln and Speed had a loving relationship.

2. I thought that it was a reference to the syrup

because some choose syrup and some prefer jelly

6. What kind of jelly? -- OK -- I'm logging out now....

4. The name Rich Homo Hypocrites was taken - just kidding

The name of the organization is a reference to the first Republican President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln, who was born in a Log Cabin. President Lincoln built the Republican Party on the principles of liberty and equality. The party should return to its roots. When the organization was founded, the name, "Lincoln Club" was already taken by another GOP group, so organizers settled on the name Log Cabin Republicans.

8. If you're referring to log cabin republicans

it refers to uber-Republican Abe Lincoln allegedy having had a male lover.
