“The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of ‘liberalism’ they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.”

Socialist Party presidential candidate Norman Thomas

A regular reader of TRR sent this in to me and I thought you'd enjoy it.....

So I said to him, "Barack, I know Abe Lincoln, and you ain't Abe Lincoln."

You know how democrats are always invoking Abraham Lincoln as "their" President? Well, read this famous Lincoln quote and see if this sounds like today's liberal democrats or today's conservatives.....

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 people's initiative and independence.
You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves.

.....Abraham Lincoln
