A Work Of Art I Simply Must Share

email ^ | Unknown | Abraham Lincoln

[Windflier]

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

"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

IIRC it is called “Grand Old Gang” by Andy Thomas. He also did a Dem version called “True Blue,” I think.

Yep. But I prefer Grand Old Gang ...

Source: Erroneously attributed to ABRAHAM LINCOLN. Since the 1940s these Ten Points attributed to Lincoln have been widely reprinted. They have appeared in such places as magazines, Christmas cards, and the Congressional Record. The Library of Congress and Lincoln scholars believe that any connection made between Lincoln and the Ten Points is spurious.
