The GOP has turned its back on Reagan and Lincoln

Quote from CaptainObvious:

It was a pretty good movie. I loved this story he told.

The Revolutionary War hero Ethan Allen visited Britain after the war where his friends were at the time harboring a little resentment over the outcome, so they resolved to tacking up a picture of George Washington on the inside of the outhouse door where it would confront the seated occupant square in the face.

He comes out smiling instead of gnashing his teeth in anger and his confused friends don’t understand- they figured that he’d be sizzeling! “Well didn’t you see George Washington in there?” they asked.

“Of course I did,” he replied “And I think it’s the most appropriate place for him.”

“What do you mean?” they asked.

To which he answered something to the affect of, “I can think of no better way to make an Englishman shit faster than seeing General George Washington.”

Even though I thought it was more about the 13th amendment then Lincoln I loved it and it made me love Lincoln even more .Daniel Day Lewis and the guy who played Grant was fucking amazing.When I saw it many people in the theater were crying and the entire theater stood up and applauded at the end.Theater was fucking packed when I saw it,I couldn't believe so many people were interested in seeing a Lincoln movie

Rest assured, I'll never subject myself to such odious propaganda.

Now I'm definitely not going to see it. I could attend a funeral for free if I want to watch people crying.

You really should go see the movie. It did a pretty good job of showing the struggles these men were having in trying to resolve the issues of the day. Good men made bad decisions, and bad men made some good decisions. I do believe that most all men on both sides really wanted what they thought best for the country, unlike the scumbags we have in D.C. today, who are only concerned with the next election cycle and maintaing their spot at the trough.

naively you think things have changed in DC and bought into the highfalutin BS narrative. In reality it was all about greed, graft and political power through crony capitalism on top of a highly asymmetric tax burden fueled by exploiting the simplistic sentiments of the common man.

It's not by accident that the genocide and extermination of the American Indian happened during and after the War of Northern Aggression.

So save the POP history lesson for those who are stupid or just want to be entertained , THANKS.
 
It wasn't all propaganda and it didn't make Lincoln out to be honest Abe.It showed how Lincoln was trying to bribe members of congress to get the 13th amendment passed and it also showed how he was lying to the people and prolonging the war until the amendment passed
 
Quote from Ricter:

The GOP has had to back off Reagan, as he was a massive spender, on borrowed (foreign, sadly) money.

Funny how republicans try to make Reagan out to be a conservative god but if a gop candidate ran for President promising Reagans actual polices they wouldn't win the nomination
