Debate and Discourse: AWESOME POST in "The American Presidency: It repeats itself", by dra

RiemannLives has reported a post.

Reason:
Sometimes someone is just so wrong it becomes awesome. In the sense of provoking awe and wonder at their stupidity. As noted further down in the thread:

"The quotes were published in 1942 by William J. H. Boetcker, a Presbyterian minister. He released a pamphlet titled Lincoln On Limitations, which did include a Lincoln quote, but also added 10 statements written by Boetcker himself."

I'll tell you what happened to the polls people woke up. But I'll let one of our greatest presidents sum it up.

"You cannot help the poor, by destroying the rich.
You cannot strengthen the weak, by weakening the strong.
You cannot bring about prosperity, by discouraging thrift.
You cannot lift the wage earner up, by pulling the wage payer down.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man, by inciting class hatred.
You cannot build character and courage, by taking away men's initiative and independence.
You cannot help men permanently, by doing for them what they could and should, do for themselves."

~ Abraham Lincoln

In what respect, Charlie?

Umm people realize that "spreading the wealth" is bad. that you don't punish success and you don't Tax more in a slow economy. All that does is give us trickle up poverty instead.

What you think "makes sense" has nothing to do with reality. It just has to do with your life experience. And your life experience may only be a small smidgen of reality. Possibly even a distorted account of reality at that. So what this means is that, beginning in the 20th century as our means of decoding nature became more and more powerful, we started realizing our common sense is no longer a tool to pass judgment on whether or not a scientific theory is correct. - Neil Degrasse Tyson

    These faggots do not pay our wages, so it's time for them to die.

    Especially the Enron Bitch, we never even saw the guy's fucking body, and even then she should not have gotten twenty billion dollars worth of property, that is knowingly accepting stolen property, we let that bitch get away with that, and then we just forget it and let it happen again and again, over and over, while the same faggots say the same things in the same people's defense?

    For Shaaame.

    Of course, we would never need to do anything to correct the mistakes of you conservatives if you realized that there is never going to be another Gerald Ford on this earth, and stopped treating every man with more money than you as a god.

    I find it quite awesome that someone fell for a lie of more than 60 years ago and that someone else noticed it. Only on PA.

    I am of the Galactic Civilizations II: The dread lords mentality when it comes to taxes. If you are fulfilling your people's needs, you should tax as high as you can and when you are not you lower the taxes.
