I think if you read the whole thing, you'll find he's a pretty equal opportunity offender, sexual libertarians got a good hundred paragraphs against their lifestyle as well.

In May 1862, Abraham Lincoln overturned an order issued by General David Hunter that would have freed every slave across vast swaths of the southern Atlantic coast.

That was after he was made president and 1 year into the civil war.

He is not the man you think he is and revising history to make him some grand savior is BS.

You may want to read up on the subject. The Civil was did not start because of slavery and was not because of slavery.

Enemy oppressor?

Every slave ship sailing from Africa to the USA sailed under the US flag.
For over 100 years of slavery, it was all done under the US flag.

Abraham Lincoln won the 1860 presidential election, His name was not even on the ballot in 10 states. There were only 33 states at the time so close to 1/3 of the states did not have him on the ballot and he still won. That was the key that started the whole civil war! An election that even today would cause riots, to have a candidate win when he was not even on the ballot in 1/3 of the states!

Yes racial tensions were high and yes the south decided to make slavery a key point of there cause, but when the Civil war broke out it was not all about slavery. Abraham Lincoln himself was "Anti-Slavery" meaning against slavery's expansion, however he was not calling for immediate emancipation.

"I say that we must not interfere with the institution of slavery in the states where it exists, because the constitution forbids it, and the general welfare does not require us to do so." -- Abraham Lincoln September 17, 1859: Speech at Cincinnati, Ohio

Not fault alone, of course. In many ways, I blame liberals of both stripes- fiscal conservatism these days is strongly libertarian, and thus, liberal.

One said says I want to fuck who I want to and damned the consequences tomorrow, we'll just kill any inconvenient product of sexual abuse. The other side says I want to profit from who I want to and damn the regulations, I am not my brother's financial keeper.

Both are putting radical self interest- liberty ahead of the common good- and liberty is liberalism.

You must be a young kid. Im guessing you dont remember when Ma-Bell ran all the phones in the US and you paid $0.25 a min to call someone that was less than 30 miles away.

Tell me, how much does it cost to call someone 30, 50, or 100 miles away now? Oh wait, it is $0 a min. All from regulating Ma-Bell and having the markets opened.

Kind of killed Phreaking with $0 a min long distance. lol

And that's what went wrong with slavery in the United States. Too much whip, not enough bread. And then 70 years later with capitalism, too much whip, not enough bread.

Today we have too much bread and perhaps not enough whip, but what is there left to do?

Yep. And I could just see Franklin D, old Curmudgeon that he was, shouting to the Bonus Army "Get off my lawn!"

The Roman Emperors had it right- buy a bunch of state owned bakeries, and give everybody their "Daily Bread" (referenced even in the Lord's Prayer, though Christ had us thanking God for it instead of the Emperor).

Keep the slaves fed, they won't revolt.

At first it wasn't. At first- the War on Poverty had exactly ONE purpose- get the Bonus Army off of Roosevelt's front lawn.

Everything about it since then has been to prevent the revolt that almost did happen.

A huge part of the reason that America has turned leftwards, is because the Republican party has chosen to prioritize fiscal conservationism over social conservationism. Family no longer comes first for most of the Republican leadership, as shown in their marital woes.

The Democrats were always going to go Left, at least the Republicans *could* have given us another choice.

The entire intent of the welfare system since 1931 has been to prevent the working class from actually ever being uncomfortable enough to revolt. Campaign Promises bear no relation to actual truth.

The poor and the working class are to Democrats what the unborn are to Republicans: Great for winning elections, and thus, need to be kept in their current oppression so that they're still oppressed for the next election.

With binaries that is incredibly easy- just do a file compare on the binaries. Any two that are exactly the same byte length should be compared; any two that compile to exactly the same machine code should need to turn in source code.

That can be a dangerous precedent to set. In the real world, you only get paid for coming up with the right solution.
