| |  He was a piss poor President, but
but he got this right
You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom.What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation..

Ok, so Lincoln was a piss poor president? Are you kidding me? He brought an end to slavery, and freed thousands of people who were in bondage. That's an awesome feat!! | | |  | Premium Member | | Join Date: Oct 2008 Location: Honolulu, Hawaii Age: 66

Jimmy Carter has proven to be both a bad man and the worst president so far.
Dumbo is trying to wrestle that title from him though.

With the way the yankee army raped and pillaged the south, I don't blame them for not getting over it. | | |
