You mean I can't trust the local newspaper? The one often referred as the "Register Garbage" I wasn't sure so I wrote "apparently". The bigger point was to read in todays context. SIGnature NRA Benefactor CMP Pistol Distinguished | |||

You have to research such things before you post them. | |||

Is the problem the Lincoln implication, or the sayings themselves? SIGnature NRA Benefactor CMP Pistol Distinguished | |||

The problem is that you attributed these sayings to Lincoln, when the briefest of research showed clearly that Lincoln did not say these things. It was very easy to find that this is a misattribution. I merely plugged one of the sayings on the page you posted into a search engine: Right there at the top of the page, you see the answer: https://search.brave.com/searc...+destroying+the+rich Also, I pointed you to a thread I created in February, outlining this type of thing and my feelings about them appearing in this forum: Misattributed quotes on the pages of SIGforum I'm not sure how I can be any clearer. When you attribute a quote or quotes to a specific person, you should first do a bit of research to be certain that your attribution is accurate, and if you have any doubt as to to the accuracy, you should either refrain from posting it, or you should post it and add that you're not certain who said it or wrote it. The internet is awash in falsehoods and it is my fervent desire that we avoid these types of things. In this forum, we should strive to get it right. I cannot stress it enough to you how very important it is to me that we avoid this type of thing. ____________________________________________________ "I am your retribution." - Donald Trump, speech at CPAC, March 4, 2023 | |||

I did plug one saying into google search and came up blank. So I depended on the local paper's implication Sorry. SIGnature NRA Benefactor CMP Pistol Distinguished | |||

It was a good opportunity to refresh this with the membership. If you wish to discuss the concepts put forth by the right Reverend William J. H. Boetcker, feel free to start a new thread, omitting the Lincoln reference. | |||
