The desecration of the Lincoln Memorial the other day made me wonder what a comment to a blog post written about Lincoln's Gettysburg Address in 1865, and a reply to that comment, might have read like.
"Smartie
Don't know what Lincoln's talking about. Slaves had a good deal. They were taken out of Africa where they had nothing, given full time jobs here, so the country's unemployment rate went down and our GNP went up, they had a roof over their heads, so the number of homeless declined, they were fed every day, so the number needing food stamps went down, they had free medical care, they and their families were protected by their owners. What's the problem? There were slaves in the Bible. What would their lives be like if they were on their own? How would Lincoln's call for a rebirth of freedom give them more than that? President Stinkin' is nuts!"
"Howzzzat?
we`all have to pay for those benefits given slaves since their owners have to raise their prices to pay for all that, and the unemployment rate did not go down since the slaves only took jobs away from other people, and the Bible has to be updated to modern times. not so smartie, smartie!"
