The Lincoln-Reagan Freedom Foundation is dedicated to promoting greater appreciation for the heritage of the Republican Party, founded as a civil rights movement in 1854. This "Grand Old Party" has an extraordinary, though overlooked, record of achievement in advancing civil rights in the United States and around the world.
Celebrating a Century and a Half of Civil Rights Achievement by the Republican Party
For the past century and a half, the Republican Party has proven to be the most effective political organization ever to champion equality and human rights in the United States and around the world. From President Lincoln's victory in the Civil War to President Reagan's victory in the Cold War, the GOP shares credit for the ability of hundreds of millions of people to live in freedom.
To increase our appreciation for this heritage, the Lincoln-Reagan Freedom Foundation brings together Republican officeholders, activists and staff, academics, and the media.

Seward was strongly antislavery and established his reputation for that point of view during the 1840's; he made a remark in the Senate during the debate over the compromise of 1850 about "a higher law than the Constitution" that was quoted widely for years.
After the war, though, he supported the Lincoln/Johnson conciliatory line on "presidential reconstruction" and was criticized by the Radicals.
Hmmmmm, good thought.
Good night, all.
Stanton was also the evil genius who had Lincoln whacked.
Just like John Gotti had Big Paulie Castellano hit.
"Abraham Lincoln served in Congress for one term in 1846-47. Andrew Jackson left the White House in 1837. There were four different presidents between the time Jackson left office and Lincoln was elected: Van Buren, Harrison, Tyler, and Polk."
You forget Taylor, Fillmore, Pierce, and Buchanan.

"The World Socialist Website (WSWS) is a legitimate political organization along the same lines as the League of the South (LOS). One might vehemently diagree with their political viewpoint, but that does not put them in the same catagory as Hamas or Ayran Nation." - mac_truck, 7/10/03
Listen up son. If you're gonna cut and paste my comments into your neo-seccesionist fantasy scrapbook book, at least try to use my complete sentences. Didn't you learn anything at that fancy school they sent you to?
lol Love it! I could not have phrased it any better!
Taylor, Fillmore, Pierce, and Buchanan were elected before Lincoln served in Congress?
Yawn. Qualifying your leftist statements of the past does not change what you've done. The fact is you've conferred legitimacy on a communist political party more than once among your many other leftist trolling activities. Naturally you pitch a fit when your cover is blown, but there's no excusing what you've done. Go back to DU.
Pretty much. He gets very defensive about it and equally obnoxious in his responses to it whenever it is pointed out. Mac is little more than a neolib troll around here, recruited by one of the Wlat Brigadeers to "defend" Saint Abe. Tu quoque boy, I think it was...
What does his recent posting history look like?
Haven't looked at it. But really, does it matter? All you really need to know about Mac Truck is the following:
"You seem to have difficulty distinguishing the difference between a legitimate political organization like WSWS [World Socialist Web Site], which you disagree with, and other quasi-terrorist or out-right terrorist groups. The fact that McPherson hasn’t spoken with the groups you cited is…meaningless." - mac_truck 7/9/03*

*Note: the World Socialist Web Site, which m_t calls a "legitimate political organization," is the official site of a communist political party that advocates a violent Leninist revolutionary overthrow of capitalism worldwide.
Huh?, Are you prepared to back that comment up porky?
The Republican party is the linial desendant of the Federalist Party through the Wiggs, Henry Clay, Linclon.
The solid South ended in the Mountians from North Alabama to West Virginia, we had copperheads they had Unionists.
I must have "Everlast" stenciled on my forehead.
You can tell the difference?

Full quote:

You did that? How scummy!
Ah, yes, you meant before Lincoln was elected to Congress.
BTW, Lincoln's term in Congress was actually 1847-49.
Nothing scummy about it at all, except for mac's views. He has suggested that a violent revolutionary communist political party is a "legitimate political organization" more than once.
You maliciously took his comment out of context, even out of the full sentence. That's scummy.
Nonsense. That quote was the second time mac_truck conferred his view of legitimacy upon the communist party. The first, made a day prior, read as follows:
"You seem to have difficulty distinguishing the difference between a legitimate political organization like WSWS [World Socialist Web Site], which you disagree with, and other quasi-terrorist or out-right terrorist groups. The fact that McPherson hasn’t spoken with the groups you cited is…meaningless." - mac_truck 7/9/03

Of course neither you nor garbage_truck can defend the viewpoint that he plainly asserted by conferring legitimacy on a fundamentally illegitimate and evil political party so instead you misdirect and attempt to pass off the whole incident as a semantical quibble.
Not worth getting worked up over IMO...
Frankly, I have heard that as the reason that Ham was not cursed, but have never understood it.
God establishes a covenant with the sons of Noah not to destroy them again with a flood.
Why could He not have then cursed Ham to be a servant of servants if he were in fact guilty of some crime?
The blessing had nothing to do with the cursing.
That is only used by the sons of Japheth trying to justify their enslaving all the sons of Ham (not just Canaan)
