It's been a long ten years of watching the collapse of the party of Lincoln.

i'm old enough to remember when democrats were pulling down statues of Lincoln because he was racist.

Everyone is racist to them except themselves.

the times are not so different.

Newspapers across the country and the nation immediately critiqued Lincoln's speech which was 10 sentences in length and totaled 272 words. Some newspapers praised the speech while others dissed it. Reaction to the speech was either worshipful or scornful, depending on one's party affiliation. The Republicans were the party of Lincoln, while the Democrats were the more or less loyal opposition (though their loyalty was often questioned).

It wasn't just the Democrats. Here's what the Times of London: wrote: "The ceremony was rendered ludicrous by some of the sallies of that poor President Lincoln."

In the South, naturally, Lincoln was vilified as a bloodthirsty tyrant. But his opponents in the North could be almost as harsh. For years, much of the Democratic press had portrayed him as an inept, awkward, nearly illiterate bumpkin who surrounded himself with sycophants and responded to crises with pointless, long-winded jokes. Many routinely referred to Lincoln as "the jester."

The Chicago Times, pro-Democratic and anti-Lincoln, accused the President of "ignorant rudeness," "boorishness" and "vulgarity" for including "political partisanship" in his Gettysburg speech.

"The cheek of every American must tingle with shame as he reads the silly flat dishwatery utterances of a man who has to be pointed out to intelligent foreigners as the President of the United States," the Chicago Times wrote.

Lincoln was hated by many and ridiculed by the press even drawing pics making him look like an ape or Neanderthal. The man was brilliant and self taught.

They were protesting colonialism. They didn't tear the statues down because he was a racist.

Uh... What did Honest Abe ever colonize?

Uh... What did Honest Abe ever colonize?

You're asking someone who thinks that protesting colonization is irrational? He didn't give his land back to the natives?

If I were to bet on this, I would bet the top brass is going to be a little lighter.
