Abraham Lincoln and George Washington

Abraham Lincoln, 1856

‘As a nation, we begin by declaring that “all men are created equal.” We now practically read it all men are created equal , except negroes. When the Know-Nothings ( a party based on antagonism toward immigrants, Catholics, and African Americans) get control , it will read “all men are created equal, except negroes and foreigners and Catholics.” When it comes to this I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretense of loving liberty–to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocrisy.’

So, even back in 1856 as the Republican Party was emerging, Lincoln had in essence the forerunners of the American Freedom Caucus to deal with. So–if you’re at a family function with some Know Nothings in attendance be patient with them. Suggest they stop watching the swarmy gargoyle Hannity, the Bitch Twins, the Trump Fox Network overall, and tell them to start reading okcthunderground.com. Just saying.

Here’s an illuminating History Channel video on Washington. One would hope, even if you’re a Know-Nothing, this might give you a clue as to why Washington is at the top of historians list and why our own Know-Nothing Caligula is at the bottom of every list.
