I think Lincoln's statements are all good; some of them just need some good interpretations. Cutting some of the wealth of most of the filthy rich people would not destroy them, nor would it weaken them or pull them down. Hatred is wrong; but taking some corrective actions toward fair payments for brain, investment and work of different kinds of people in the economic system is not really the same as inciting hatred.
As for Ronald Reagan, I would not call him dim-witted; after all, he was the President of the USA for two terms. I would call the US voters politically dim-witted; because, for example, they could be fooled by people like Reagan. There is no shortage of fools in the USA who consider Reagan's quote, "Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem", to be a word of wisdom. There are too many politically stupid people in the USA who think that Saddam Hussein had a link with the terrorists that struck the USA on September 11, 2001.

I am beginning to doubt the veracity of Abe Lincoln's comment which was posted in another thread by a blind supporter of Rush Limbaugh.
I fully agree with Farida Majid on Ronald Reagan. Reagan maybe a hero to millions of illiterate Americans but beneath his Hollywood demeanor he was a dimwitted politician. He made deals with Iran's Khomeini begging them not to release the American Embassy hostages before Nov 1980 election. He intentionally jacked up the interest to 12-14% so that his rich Southern California friends can loan the U.S. Federal government the money to cover the deficit. He blamed the Democrats for expanding the government and he promised to American voters that if he is elected, he will shrink the government but look what he did. He made the government big, infused money into Pentagon, and consequently ballooning the Federal budget. Of course, Reagan's rich friends were there to loan the money to the government because they purchased those bonds getting 12-14% return annually. How clever of Reagan to help out his rich friends!!!
Republican Party is for the upper income people. I hope this Rush Limbaughite in this forum is a rich guy rubbing shoulder with Bush, Romney, etc. He is more Royal than the King and more Pious than the Pope.
Is he not the same person who predicted the demise of Obama candidacy in 2008 in this forum? Talk about the shame? This headless Republican lover has none.
