Hahahaha! I love that there needs to be a wikipedia article to explain who he is to anyone who doesn’t know.
Mr. Booth is one step ahead of you, buddeh.
You mean Lincoln was a Democrat ?
I’m sorry, you must be confused… Lincoln was in fact a Republican.
And here’s a short list (by no means comprehensive, of course) of the people in the Republican party this caption is referring to:
-Republican Senator Strom Thurmond had sex with a 15-year old black girl which produced a child.
-Republican Congressman Donald “Buz” Lukens was found guilty of having sex with a minor and sentenced to one month in jail.
-Republican Congressman Mark Foley resigned after it was found out that he had been making inappropriate contact with male pages and had sexual relations with underage former pages. Several other high profile Republican Congressmen were also implicated in covering up Foley’s inappropriate behavior for years.
-Republican Committee Chairman Jeffrey Patti was arrested for distributing a video tape of the rape of a 5-year-old girl.
-Robert Bauman, Republican congressman and anti-gay activist, was charged with having sex with a 16-year-old boy he picked up at a gay bar.
I could go on forever, but if you really need any more proof, go to Google and search for “GOP party of perverts” and you’ll come up with a rather extensive list of Republican Congressman, activists, fundraisers, etc., that have been convicted or implicated in all kinds of disgusting acts of rape, assault, perversion and inappropriate conduct.
Ooh, yeah, because a few republicans have done some despicable things all republicans and conservatives and their beliefs and ideas are wrong.
OOOoohhh! And the Demoncrats have been absolute angels? Not one scandal or bribe?
You might want to up your dosage…
Your right…
The Democrats’ crimes absolves the Republicans’ crimes…
*Sigh*
EVERYONE invovled in politics has had a scandel of some kind. Recently, the republicans have had more. Besides, just because I screw up doesn’t make your screw ups any less bad.
Talk about ingeniously side-stepping the point, Huey…
Lincoln was a rather well documented racist. Go-go, revisionist history!
He must have been drunk when he wrote the Emancipation Proclamation then. Go go subjective history!
No really, he was a rather well documented rascist. By todays standards he would be quite extreme actually.
He was also in the tank for Big Railroad I guess you could call it. He was a corporate whore just like todays Republicans. He abolished states rights and centralized more power in the executive branch than any other president, including GWB. He had journalists arrested and placed on prison ships, detained Federal Judges and even tried to have opposing members of the US congress arrested. He suspended the writ of Habeus Corpus and awarded no bid contracts to his cronies.
If you ask me, Lincoln was THE blueprint for a modern Republican.
I really hate to correct people, but it must be done.
Lincoln is known to have been, what you call rascist, at the start of his presidency, but, in fact, the reason John Wilkes Booth shot him, rather then follow the original plan that was to kidnap him, was because Lincoln made a speech about voting for blacks. So obviously something inside him changed.
And also, he is not the blueprint for the modern Republican, but instead for the modern Liberal, not specifically Democrat though usually conservatives are Republicans and liberals are Democrats. Lincoln was in fact a Republican but in between him and today, to two parties basically did a flip. Evidence of that is seen in the fact that, at the time of the Civil War, the South was mainly Democrats, while the North was Republican (an obvious opposite from today) and Lincoln was a Republican. The South fought in the war for state rights, or more personal rights; they did not like having a strong centralized government, which Lincoln actually strengthed more in his time in office. Today, considering I live in the South I see this everyday, much of the South talks of a weaker federal government and many people here talk of how they would have fought for the CSA if they were alive during that time.
So again I hate correcting people, but that was a pretty big mistake.
The emancipation proclamation was a political and strategic move intended to give the Union a strategic advantage over the Confederate States. The first Proclamation only freed slaves in the states that did not turn from the Confederate, back to the Union by a certain date. It’s true, he was fairly racist. When slaves were freed, he came up with plans to send em all back to Africa, too.
See wiki: “Some 20th century black intellectuals, including W. E. B. Du Bois, James Baldwin and Julius Lester, described the proclamation as essentially worthless. Perhaps the strongest attack was Lerone Bennett’s Forced into Glory: Abraham Lincoln’s White Dream (2000), which claimed that Lincoln was a white supremacist who issued the Emancipation Proclamation in lieu of the real racial reforms for which radical abolitionists pushed.”
I applaud you for your insight and I would like to add that during Lincoln’s term he suspended habeus corpus and jailed many of the copperheads (Northerners in favor of trying to compromise with the south in order to end the war) and many others who opposed him. The emancipation proclamation actually did not free any slaves (not legally anyway) the 13th amendment freed the slaves. The emancipation proclamation was a strategical move that helped him get support for the war. By all means he was a great president for helping us keep the union together and for winning the Civil War, but he was by no means perfect.
Too late!
Love this one!~
Whoever captioned this, I love you.
=D
So obviously, we’re talking about Democrats or Republicans, but about Americans? Or possibly the human race? get off your horse, political assholes, and think for yourself instead of following a party blindly.
ummm. wow. unless you vote for a member of a party the person you vote for generally doesn’t win, at least in national politics. So the majority of us choose the party most in line with our ideas. If you have a better idea I’d love to hear it.
No, I’m pretty sure we’re talking about Lincolnial Republicans. -Cough Cough-

Actually, more someone with an objective grasp of history.
“I will say, then, that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races–that I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which will ever forbid the two races living together in 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. I am as much as any other man in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race.”
or maybe this piece addressed to Northern Black people
“But for your race among us there could not be war, although many men engaged on either side do not care for you one way or the other. Nevertheless, I repeat, without the institution of Slavery and the colored race as a basis, the war could not have an existence.
It is better for us both, therefore, to be separated. …I suppose one of the principal difficulties in the way of colonization is that the free colored man cannot see that his comfort would be advanced by it. You may believe you can live in Washington or elsewhere in the United States the remainder of your life, perhaps more so than in any foreign country, and hence you have come to the conclusion that you have nothing to do with the idea of going to a foreign country. This is (I speak in no unkind sense) an extremely selfish view of the case. ”
Both Abe Lincoln, one before the War, one during it…
OWNED!!!
You could make a similar list for Republicans.
too bad he wasn’t the first to free slaves in ‘america’. during the colonies ‘war for independence’ the brits offered freedom and a farm to any slave willing to fight for them against the colonials. worked too, many families now reside in canada on farms thus bestowed.
You might want to read more about what the Emancipation Proclamation actually did.
He also said the following, likening slavery to a venomous snake:
“If I saw a venomous snake crawling in the road, any man would say I might seize the nearest stick and kill it; but if I found that snake in bed with my children, that would be another question. I might hurt the children more than the snake, and it might bite them. Much more if I found it in bed with my neighbor’s children, and I had bound myself by a solemn compact not to meddle with his children under any circumstances, it would become me to let that particular mode of getting rid of the gentleman alone. But if there was a bed newly made up, to which the children were to be taken, and it was proposed to take a batch of young snakes and put them there with them, I take it no man would say there was any question how I ought to decide!
That is just the case! The new Territories are the newly made bed to which our children are to go, and it lies with the nation to say whether they shall have snakes mixed up with them or not. It does not seem as if there could be much hesitation what our policy should be!”
