"Lincoln was a pinko bastard!"

That's not something you hear every day.

One of the reasons why I am opposed to slavery is just here. I take it that
it is best for all to leave each man free to acquire property as fast as he
can. Some will get wealthy. I don't believe in a law to prevent a man from
getting rich; it would do more harm than good.

Free society is such that [a man] knows he can better his condition; he
knows that there is no fixed condition of labor his whole life. I am not
ashamed to confess that twenty-five years ago I was a hired laborer, mauling
rails, at work on a flatboat -- what might happen to any poor man's son. I
want every man to have the chance -- and I believe a black man is entitled
to it -- in which he can better his condition -- when he may look forward
and hope to be a hired laborer this day and the next, work for himself, and
finally to hire men to work for him. That is the true system

And so it may go on and on in one ceaseless round so long as man exists on
the face of the earth.

Abraham Lincoln
