Why I (Continue to) Love Lincoln

Never mind that he ended the most despicable institution in the United States, that he held the nation together, or that he prevented further wars with Britain and France.  Nah, ignore that he added two states to the Union, created the Department of Agriculture, established a national currency and signed the Homestead Act.  Forget that Lincoln commissioned the intercontinental railroad and prevented the crippling treatment many Senator’s desired for the treasonous south.

For all that he did, my love for Lincoln continues to grow this day because of neo-confederate rants like this one from Clyde N. Wilson.  The more they debase themselves the more I love Lincoln. 

Lincoln played with his feet?! How objectionable!  After ‘em, Billy-Bob! 

Racist Babies!

LONDON, July 7 (UPI)—Toddlers who say “yuck” when given flavorful foreign food may be exhibiting racist behavior, a British government-sponsored organization says. …

“…babies must also be included in the effort to eliminate racism because they have the ability to “recognize different people in their lives.”

It doesn’t get any better than this.
