B.O., who likes to compare himself to President Lincoln, apparently cannot read. It's called history...instead of trying to rewrite it, maybe we can learn from it.
Hey! You happen to find that somewhere on the internet, and now act as if you wrote it. Couldnt recite it yourself, huh? You porbably didnt know it existed until you came across it. And you have the temerity to denagrate someone else.
If you dont like the message, attack the messanger !! Right on. Ignore the truth of the original post and attack it sideways looking for some squirm room and a way to wiggle out of the truth. Hey,. we don't like what we are hearing....lets attack the person who delivers the bad news, so much easier than being intectually honest....... Right on, thats pretty cool.
http://en.wordpress.com/tag/you-cannot-help-the-poor-by-destroying-the-rich/ This is mis-attributed. Lincoln never said these things BTW it was easy to find that out (just one simple Google search). You have a bad habit of posting misinformation, like you did on the Republican auto dealers thread. http://www.prweforum.com/showthread.php?t=28647&highlight=Republican dealers The second I read it I could tell that this was written post-Marx as a critique of Marx and Lincoln was to early for that.
Well...B.O. is pretty much doing the exact opposite of this words of wisdom: 1. You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. B.O. to cut government spending? Are your kidding me? 2. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. B.O. taxes and punishes those that work harder and longer so he can give the money to idiots that voted for him. 3. You cannot help the poor man by destroying the rich. Same thing...redistribution of money from people that work harder (like employers) and give it to B.O.'s supporters 4. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred. Hell, B.O. had to have a "beer" summit because he is using race and class warfare to divide this country. 5. You cannot build character and courage by taking away man's initiative and independence. B.O. believes in the government to take care of all...not the individual. 6. You cannot help small men by tearing down big men. See #2 and #3 7. You cannot lift the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer. B.O. has this stupid notion that you need employees fist, not employers. 8. You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than your income. He already doubled the deficit with more government spending. 9. You cannot establish security on borrowed money. China now his a say with our ecnomic issues. Good job B.O. Just lend more money to them. 10 You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they will not do for themselves. B.O. again believes in goverment and community orgainzing (his only job experience before the stupid voters of Illinois made him a (cough) U.S. Senator). He does not believe in the individual, but the collective...which is everything against our founding fathers. Pretty compelling...10 for 10. B.O. wants to emulate Lincoln but his own words and actions are totally against Lincoln. If he read anything about Lincoln, he would have discovered such principles. So...it is easy to come to a conclusion that B.O. (it stinks) cannot read.
Midas never mind all the smoke screens you have stated that President Obama can not read now please prove it
If he could read history, then he wouldn't be so stupid to repeat it. Maybe I should state, "B.O. doesn't read nor study history". It is logical conclusion based on his actions and inactions. After all, how can he say that he compares to Lincoln when he hasn't done one thing that Lincoln would subscribe to?
The quotes that you ascribe to Lincoln are things that Lincoln never said. Lincoln was a complex thoughtful human being and that stupid phony graphic of yours is a disgrace to his memory.
If Obama cannot read, please explain to me what the teleprompters are for. Also, DanR is correct, those quotes have long been mistakenly credited to Abe. Like the " ask not what your country can do for you " JFK thing, they ( Abe and JFK ) both SAID those words, but they did not write them. A kind form of plagerism.
I will defend Obama here. I know the man can read and read very well...he has experience reading the teleprompters & the words that are written for him!! (**Sorry Jack, I responded to deorc's post before I read yours. Great minds?)
Yes Jack, Im attacking the messenger because the messenger in this case doesnt have his own opinion. He needs to constantly look things up and post them and shout, ''Look see this?. Its what I think. Only I dont know anything so I have to find shi-- stuff that sounds like what I want to say. Like the Pershing thing. He likes the way it reads so he posts it. He doesnt care if its true or not. And it seems you dont either. Attack a messenger who brings false news? You bet your boots.
The message in the first post was right on...what part of those words of wisdom do you disagree with? I 100% believe you cannot make the poor rich by making the rich poor. Do you have problem with this? This is off topic so it goes
It is false. You lost your credibility by posting such nonsence. It isnt true. And wanting it to be true, doesnt make it so. What do I have? I have integrity. I have humility. I have the ability to admit when I am wrong.(Which happens now and again.). But not on this.
I have a MAJOR problem with you ascribing these sayings to Lincoln. These are shallow sophomoric trite things that Lincoln would never say.
