1) Abraham Lincoln Cooper Union Speech (2/27/1860)

"Your purpose, plainly stated, is that you will destroy the Government, unless you be allowed to construe & enforce the Constitution as you please, on all points in dispute between you & us. You will rule or ruin in all events."
2) "You'll not abide the election of a Republican President! In that event, you will destroy the Union; & then the great crime of having destroyed it will be upon US! A highwayman holds a pistol to my ear & mutters 'Stand & deliver, or I shall kill you & YOU will be a murderer!'"
3) "Let us not be diverted by any of those sophistical contrivances by which we are so industriously plied & belabored - contrivances such as groping for some middle ground between the right & the wrong, vain as the search for a man who should be neither living nor dead ...
4) " ... such as a policy of "don't care" on a question about which all true men do care - such as Union appeals beseeching true Union men to yield to Disunionists, reversing the divine rule & calling not the sinners but the righteous to repentance ...
5) " ... - such as invocations to Washington, imploring men to unsay what Washington said & undo what Washington did.

"Let us not be slandered from our duty by false accusations,, nor frightened from it by menaces of destruction to the Government nor of dungeons to ourselves."

@themarketswork 1) Every Diabolicrat Has One

The Diabolicrats once held a meeting,
they came from near and far.
Some came by private jet,
Still others came by car.
When they arrived on Martha's Vineyard
No one dared to look,
As each Diabolicrat took off its asshole
and hung it on a hook.
@themarketswork 2) The full A-List was gathered there,
Every son of a bitch & sire.
When a stupid dog-faced pony soldier
Burst in and shouted, Fire!
Up they got and out they ran,
There was no time to look.
Each snatched the nearest asshole
Right off the nearest hook.

@McCormackJohn 1) The "anger" & sour grapes Joke Biden expresses in the 1st sentence of the 1st paragraph of his official statement, issued by on White House stationery after the jury found Kyle Rittenhouse "Not Guilty" of all charges, gives the lie to all that follows.
@McCormackJohn 2) How can Joke Biden profess to be "angry" that the jury acquitted Kyle Rittenhouse" and also claim that " ... I remain steadfast in my commitment to do everything in my power to ensure that every American is treated equally, with fairness and dignity, under the law."
@McCormackJohn 3) Candidate Joke Biden branded Kyle Rittenhouse as a "white supremacist." As Pres Biden maintains that "white supremacy" is America's "most lethal threat." Mark my words, Biden will direct AG Merrick Garland to try Rittenhouse for violating the "civil rights" of his "victims."

@AKA_RealDirty @sethjlevy 1) "Biden was concerned about 'the enormous consequences of failure.'" -- Barack Obama, recalling how as vice president Joke Biden argued against launching the raid that killed Osama bin Laden.
@AKA_RealDirty @sethjlevy 2) "If I have to follow him to the Gates of Hell, I will get Osama bin Laden ... " -- Rep Pres nominee John McCain (8/16/2008)
@AKA_RealDirty @sethjlevy 3) "The American people are ... so much more resolved than any enemy can fully understand. We are united and when people harm Americans we don’t retreat, we don’t forget. We will follow (ISIS) to the Gates of Hell.” -- Vice president Joke Biden (9/3/14)

@Larry_Beech "The politicians have failed; now it's up to the business community to stand up and be heard. I want the business community to step up." Pollster Frank Luntz "The Atlantic" (1/6/14)
@Larry_Beech 1) Luntz knew that he, a maker of political messages and attacks and advertisements, had helped create this negativity, and it haunted him. But it was Obama he principally blamed.
@Larry_Beech 2) People in his focus groups had absorbed President Obama's message of class divisions, haves and have-nots, of redistribution. It was a message Luntz believed to be profoundly wrong, but one so powerful he had no slogans, no arguments with which to beat it back.

@TRAUMAdotJPG 1) Forewarned is forearmed. Wish I'd been packing when Dr. Foul-up vasectomized me WITHOUT ANESTHESIA (having evidently given me a saline solution & took the lidocaine himself). When I began to scream, he told the nurse, "Hold him down, Goddammit!"
@TRAUMAdotJPG 2) Afterward, my balls swelled up like a rhino's. The inflammatory response wrecked other anatomical parts that had to be surgically removed. I was eventually diagnosed as having developed Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy, a 24/7 disorder that sets the bar on the McGill Pain Scale.
@TRAUMAdotJPG 3) This happened in 2002. Conjugal relations have been out of the question ever since. I can hardly stand to wear clothes or be touched ... anywhere. My wife/high school sweetheart is a saint. We vowed to love one another for better or worse ... & this is the worst. Sigh!

@CassyWearsHeels 1) I could care less about this woman's panties. What fascinates me is what's written all over her face:

"Blessed Job 3:12"

Why was I laid on my mother’s lap?
Why did she nurse me at her breasts?
@CassyWearsHeels 2) These lines are from a longer lament in which a grieving Job, much like George Bailey in "It's A Wonderful Life" (1946) rues the day he was born.
@CassyWearsHeels 3) Why wasn’t I born dead?
Why didn’t I die as I came from the womb?
Why was I laid on my mother’s lap?
Why did she nurse me at her breasts?
Had I died at birth, I'd now be at peace.
I'd be asleep and at rest.
