No, congress refused to work with him. And please do not try any arguments on that. The Democrats including Obama never said or tried openly to make a person a one term President in the ways the republickers openly did, the republickers bravely and frequently touted it re: Obama.

It does the best job of explaining why the White Nationalists have such love for Trump despite his Jewish connections and why Donald has de facto accepted their support,when any other GOP candidate would have ran away from them.

So the party of Lincoln has come to this....

Lincoln was a White supremacist and White nationalist.

He said that blacks shouldn't be voters or jurors and should be relegated to the inferior position in any society they inhabited along with Whites.

He was intent on shipping them all out of America after the civil war.

He said he'd gladly preserve the union in a way that left them as slaves, if necessary.

Jefferson and the other founding fathers were also total White supremacists and White nationalists and founded the USA with the intent of restricting citizenship to Whites only. They were quite open about all of this.

So it's those of you who are NOT White nationalists who are out of step with this nation's intended nature AND out of step with your beloved Abraham Lincoln, as well.

Quote:

"I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races, [applause]—that I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race." -Abraham Lincoln

Lincoln was also nearly killed in an attack by blacks in New Orleans as a teenager and I'm sure that didn't endear them to him greatly either.

Coincidentally, New Orleans is still a great place to get killed by blacks if you're a White teenager today.

We were talking about Clintons term an the congress worked with him quite well. As to Obama, that's the difference, Obama is a narcissist, he always refused to work with congress. His terrible legacy is his own fault.

Aww, the poor little baby, the opposition wanted to defeat him, lets all go cry somewhere. Yes, dems cry about this all the time, its because they are girly men who are raised by their mothers.

Murkins think of chili as brown with a reddish underlay to it. There are many chilis.

It's sorta like the second level shock westerners go through over here when they find we have green curry, red curry and the better-known in the west yellow curry. Different chilis have different tastes and impart different colors to the final dish. Same applies to New Mexico Green Chile. (Yeah, it's become common usage to use the c-h-i-l-e spelling. I still think that's a country.)

This derail has been brought to you buy Foolmewunz's OCD, a forum feature for over a tenth of a century.

ETA: Pay no attention to smartasses from New Mexico. Everyone from the deep south knows "chile" is a small human, as in "Cletus! How many times I gots to tell ya? Don' pull on the hound's ears, chile. He's just gonna bite you, agin and you ain't hardly got no fingers left."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Mexico_chile

The fruit of any one of several cultivars of Capsicum peppers. Usually roasted, then peeled and chopped.

New Mexico has an official State Question: "Red, or Green?", asking if one wants one's chiles green, or ripe. (The best answer is, "Christmas", that is, both, one on each side of the plate).

If a New Mexican is twitching, being anti-social, or talking about voting for Trump, they have probably gone too long without chile (two meals, or a meal and a snack). They can be returned to sanity by serving them a CHile Relleno, or some Enchiladas Verdes.

ETA: certain expats to the contrary, "chili" is a cooked, gringo dish, often even involving spaghetti, "Chile" is the capsicum fruit.

Interestingly OT, thanks. In the UK, I would guess that Thai red curry is the most commonly found in supermarkets, followed by green. Yellow is more to be found in restaurants. In Belgium I don't remember seeing anything other than red in supermarkets. In Malaysia, all are widespread. Superior to all of them is the Massaman (YSMV) curry, but that's mainly because potatoes are the best curry delivery mechanism.

When are we going to get a food sub-forum?

Other sources explicitly say the attack was by black slaves.

Serious question: is that different from the Chile Verde I order in pretty much every Mexican restaurant I visit?

newyorkguy · 29th October 2016, 08:28 AM

In 1828, at the age of 19, Lincoln made a flatboat trip down the Mississippi to New Orleans. He accompanied a friend, Allen Gentry, transporting meat, corn and flour. Enroute they were reportedly greeted by river pirates, African American, who soon tried to steal their cargo. Lincoln and Gentry were able to fight them off. I pieced this together from several accounts including one on Wikipedia.

Lincoln also wrote:

Quote:

"I am naturally anti-slavery. If slavery is not wrong, nothing is wrong. I can not remember when I did not so think, and feel." Link

So the statements by Mr. Tank appear to be just more of the usual half-truths and distortions of someone with a clear agenda. What a surprise!

Clearly explain what was a half-truth or a distortion?

The university I linked to said he was nearly killed. Descriptions I've seen elsewhere made it clear the attack had murderous intent. I know I've read somewhere that there were fatalities and/or vicious wounds suffered by the crew Lincoln was part of. I'm not 100% sure of that being true though.

Every view I attributed to Lincoln about blacks is undeniably accurate and directly attested to by his own words. Such views were also nearly universal among whites in his era, so why would this be surprising?

Him opposing slavery doesn't contradict that. Do people who think the meat industry is horrible therefore necessarily think cows are our mental equals and fit for citizenship?

Lincoln is the source. It's in his writings in the University of Michigan collection. He wrote it in the third person for a newspaper at the time. He doesn't say slaves. He reported the attack was by "negroes". http://quod.lib.umich.edu/l/lincoln/...;view=fulltext
See Page 62.

However, the speculation that this experience informed his later feeling on race is pure projection on your part. There is no such evidence.

What will Obama have? He had a pen and a phone and in the end he'll have nothing, because he didn't work with congress! No, congress refused to work with him. And please do not try any arguments on that. The Democrats including Obama never said or tried openly to make a person a one term President in the ways the republickers openly did, the republickers bravely and frequently touted it re: Obama. Fortunately, but not for the republickers, there are lots of records/recordings of republickers saying it about Obama. Working with Congress was not rational or possible given their attitude.

Skeptic Tank Trigger Warning Join Date: Mar 2013 Posts: 2,985	Originally Posted by dudalb Good article on how the White Nationalists have inflirtrated the Trump Campaign. http://www.politico.com/magazine/sto...t-right-214388 It does the best job of explaining why the White Nationalists have such love for Trump despite his Jewish connections and why Donald has de facto accepted their support,when any other GOP candidate would have ran away from them. So the party of Lincoln has come to this.... Lincoln was a White supremacist and White nationalist. He said that blacks shouldn't be voters or jurors and should be relegated to the inferior position in any society they inhabited along with Whites. He was intent on shipping them all out of America after the civil war. He said he'd gladly preserve the union in a way that left them as slaves, if necessary. Jefferson and the other founding fathers were also total White supremacists and White nationalists and founded the USA with the intent of restricting citizenship to Whites only. They were quite open about all of this. So it's those of you who are NOT White nationalists who are out of step with this nation's intended nature AND out of step with your beloved Abraham Lincoln, as well. Quote: "I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races, [applause]—that I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race." -Abraham Lincoln Lincoln was also nearly killed in an attack by blacks in New Orleans as a teenager and I'm sure that didn't endear them to him greatly either. Coincidentally, New Orleans is still a great place to get killed by blacks if you're a White teenager today.

Lol We were talking about Clintons term an the congress worked with him quite well. As to Obama, that's the difference, Obama is a narcissist, he always refused to work with congress. His terrible legacy is his own fault. Quote: The Democrats including Obama never said or tried openly to make a person a one term President in the ways the republickers openly did, Aww, the poor little baby, the opposition wanted to defeat him, lets all go cry somewhere. Yes, dems cry about this all the time, its because they are girly men who are raised by their mothers. Quote: the republickers bravely and frequently touted it re: Obama. Fortunately, but not for the republickers, there are lots of records/recordings of republickers saying it about Obama. Working with Congress was not rational or possible given their attitude. Lol Boo hoo poor little dinglebarry.

Was it "over" during the Warren Court years? There are different issues for each generation. Will it signal the end of the battle on reproductive rights? I doubt it Will it mean people will have to give up their guns? Highly unlikely. Will Citizens United be overturned? Possibly. The idea that it's over when you're own personal political ideological position no longer holds sway is not how a democracy works logger. Sometimes, the other guy wins. But Trump hugs the flag! He hugs the flag!!!

There are many chilis. It's sorta like the second level shock westerners go through over here when they find we have green curry, red curry and the better-known in the west yellow curry. Different chilis have different tastes and impart different colors to the final dish. Same applies to New Mexico Green Chile. (Yeah, it's become common usage to use the c-h-i-l-e spelling. I still think that's a country.) This derail has been brought to you buy Foolmewunz's OCD, a forum feature for over a tenth of a century. ETA: Pay no attention to smartasses from New Mexico. Everyone from the deep south knows "chile" is a small human, as in "Cletus! How many times I gots to tell ya? Don' pull on the hound's ears, chile. He's just gonna bite you, agin and you ain't hardly got no fingers left."

Posts: 17,348	Originally Posted by cantonear1968 [OT] For a very very Northener, can you explain what green chili is?[/OT] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Mexico_chile The fruit of any one of several cultivars of Capsicum peppers. Usually roasted, then peeled and chopped. New Mexico has an official State Question: "Red, or Green?", asking if one wants one's chiles green, or ripe. (The best answer is, "Christmas", that is, both, one on each side of the plate). If a New Mexican is twitching, being anti-social, or talking about voting for Trump, they have probably gone too long without chile (two meals, or a meal and a snack). They can be returned to sanity by serving them a CHile Relleno, or some Enchiladas Verdes. ETA: certain expats to the contrary, "chili" is a cooked, gringo dish, often even involving spaghetti, "Chile" is the capsicum fruit.

In the UK, I would guess that Thai red curry is the most commonly found in supermarkets, followed by green. Yellow is more to be found in restaurants. In Belgium I don't remember seeing anything other than red in supermarkets. In Malaysia, all are widespread. Superior to all of them is the Massaman (YSMV) curry, but that's mainly because potatoes are the best curry delivery mechanism. When are we going to get a food sub-forum?

The adventure marked his first visit to a major city and exposed him to the nation’s largest slave marketplace. It also nearly cost him his life, in a nighttime attack in the Louisiana plantation country." Other sources explicitly say the attack was by black slaves.

newyorkguy Penultimate Amazing Join Date: Mar 2013 Location: NY Posts: 11,488	In 1828, at the age of 19, Lincoln made a flatboat trip down the Mississippi to New Orleans. He accompanied a friend, Allen Gentry, transporting meat, corn and flour. Enroute they were reportedly greeted by river pirates, African American, who soon tried to steal their cargo. Lincoln and Gentry were able to fight them off. I pieced this together from several accounts including one on Wikipedia. Lincoln also wrote: Quote: "I am naturally anti-slavery. If slavery is not wrong, nothing is wrong. I can not remember when I did not so think, and feel." Link So the statements by Mr. Tank appear to be just more of the usual half-truths and distortions of someone with a clear agenda. What a surprise!

Clearly explain what was a half-truth or a distortion? The university I linked to said he was nearly killed. Descriptions I've seen elsewhere made it clear the attack had murderous intent. I know I've read somewhere that there were fatalities and/or vicious wounds suffered by the crew Lincoln was part of. I'm not 100% sure of that being true though. Every view I attributed to Lincoln about blacks is undeniably accurate and directly attested to by his own words. Such views were also nearly universal among whites in his era, so why would this be surprising? Him opposing slavery doesn't contradict that. Do people who think the meat industry is horrible therefore necessarily think cows are our mental equals and fit for citizenship?
