What do you think of this Lincoln quotation?

"We must settle this question now, whether in a free government the minority have the right to break up the government whenever they choose. If we fail it will go far to prove the incapability of the people to govern themselves."
Abraham Lincoln, May 7, 1861 (his diary entry, regarding conversation with private secretary).

Does this quote have any resonance today, considering partisan infighting and severe anti-government rhetoric?

Don't say "who cares" or post an insult. If you do, I'll just report your answer.
