…because even those who believe they fight for less government intervention pay homage to a bloodthirsty, tyrannical despot.
Reminds me of celebrations of Castro’s revolution or the old Soviet October Revolution Day.
But, but… Somebody should DO something!
It will fun to watch the left suddenly stop loving “change” when it begins writing them cold checks.

Why we can’t have nice conversations about things. But they pull a quote from “Honest Abe”.
QUOTE: (quoting Lincoln)
During the Lincoln-Douglas debates in 1858, the future president asserted, “…there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality.”
“And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race.”
He went on to say: “Our republican system was meant for a homogeneous people. As long as blacks continue to live with the whites they constitute a threat to the national life. Family life may also collapse and the increase of mixed breed bastards may someday challenge the supremacy of the white man.”
“SUPREMACY OF THE WHITE MAN”? Lincoln was literally a white supremacist.
I need to find the actual Lincoln Douglas debate transcripts so I can have a firsthand source.

which contains the “superiority of the white race”
We’re not perfect parents, but our kids love Jesus and loathe Lincoln, so we got that going for us, which is nice…
