Barry, You Ain't no Abe Lincoln

[Dallas]

So I said to him, "Barack, I know Abe Lincoln, and you ain't Abe Lincoln."

You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative and independence.
You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves.

......Abraham Lincoln

I don’t think that’s Lincoln’s work.

So appropriate.

Thank yo for posting.

We love Lincoln. I love the graphics!

I really don’t know. I got it in an email.

These words are often attributed to Abraham Lincoln, but according to the book They Never Said it: A Book of Fake Quotes, Misquotes, & Misleading Attributions, they are not from Lincoln.

The quotes were published in 1942 by William J. H. Boetcker, a Presbyterian minister. He released a pamphlet titled Lincoln On Limitations, which did include a Lincoln quote, but also added 10 statements written by Boetcker himself.

Did you bother fact-checking before you spread around false information?

I wish I could figure out a way to make money from gullible people like you who will believe anything they "get in an e-mail". I'm so tired of this stuff.

That’s your assignment—check out and discover your “opinion.”

It is the individual responsibilty of each of us to determine the truth—not to lord it over others we deem of lesser “opinion.”

[agrarianlady]

Oh — there’s no such thing as objective truth when it comes to assigning historical quotes to a historical person.

Oh well. My bad.

Lincoln waged war against treasonous rebels who fired on a US military installation. Barry O IS a treasonous rebel. Big difference.

Barry, You Ain't no Abe Lincoln

He's not even a Millard Fillmore.

[HamiltonJay]

He’s not fit to shine Alfred E Newman’s shoes.

[sfvgto]

he’s more like Elmer Gantry without the rain

[windsorknot]

I would say that he is either Abe Stinkin’ or Millard Failmore.

[Reaganwuzthebest]

Very true, even Alfred E Newman is worthy of more respect.

[Reaganwuzthebest]

I would say that he is either Abe Stinkin’ or Millard Failmore.

More like Lenin or Marx comes to mind.

You can kiss my ass....and that is a “fact”.
