DL:As Lincoln himself said:
"You will find that all the arguments in favor of king-craft were of this class; they always bestrode the necks of the people, not that they wanted to do it, but because the people were better off for being ridden. That is their argument, and this argument of the Judge is the same old serpent that says you work and I eat, you toil and I will enjoy the fruits of it.”

So who was Lincoln speaking of? And who was the “Judge” he was referring to? And do you have any idea at all about what Lincoln was talking about? And do you have any idea what you yourself are talking about?
No, no you do not. And stop using Lincoln’s words for your purposes. Lincoln is way over your head (even though he lives there rent free).

In the Lincoln-Douglas debates, Lincoln referred to Douglas as “Judge Douglas.” I do not know why, since Douglas was a senator.
