The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

[scaeagles]

Good lord. How do you even respond to that? We can play tit for tat ALL DAY about politicians on both sides of the aisle not doing what is best for the country for a whole host of reasons. At least I am not so delusional as to think it is only one side of the political spectrum.

I just posted what I thought was an interesting and largely unknown quote from Abe Lincoln. Wow.

But upon further review, he wasn't overcoming any of his personal prejudices. He thought slavery was wrong. Overcoming personal prejudices would have been to say that he didn't think "negroes" were worthy of true equality but granting them that anyway. Overcoming his personal prejudices would have been to say there should be no superior and inferior position.

Sheesh.
