re: #99 Lidane

The same people who hate Lincoln for the Civil War (i.e., Ron Paul and his merry band of lunatics) also think that the Confederate states would have voted to free the slaves and grant them civil rights. You know, because the Confederate South was known for its desire for racial equality back then.

“It would have fixed itself, and there wouldn’t be hostility over it today, if you’d just let it alone.”

Also used in regards to women’s suffrage and the civil rights movement.

“We were gonna get to that, but you got aggressive over it and hurt our feelings.”
