Why Do Republicans Feel Compelled To Say "We're The Party of Lincoln?"

[blastoff]

What is it, exactly, are they trying to say, or communicate when they spout that line?

I'd love to have the self-professed Republicans, Conservatives and other assorted Rightwingers of USMB weigh in on this.

Proceed...

Why do Republicans feel compelled? Because we know to say, “We be the Party of Lincoln” is bad grammar.

Get back to us when you loons quit worshipping Obabble.

First Rightwing response, no answer.

That was an answer all right. The answer was Republicans are racist.
African Americans are second on their list of hate. Right after gays. But just before Hispanics.

But somehow y’all doesn’t bother them.

 

[deanrd]

They say the Lincoln meme as a way to pretend they aren’t racist.

Funny thing about Republicans is they are racist and they know it but they also know that most people in the world find it to be a bad thing.

No. Politics should be the competition of IDEAS - a contest to determine what is best for the society which the political system supports. The victory of one idea over another does not mean that the proponents of the losing idea are banned from society or killed (which at bottom, is the nature of tribalism).

Based on your answer, "identity politics" has no meaning then, as I suspected. Because we're always talking about ideas. They're just ideas you don't like or interested to hear, so you label it "identity politics", a made-up term for racist and people who defend racists.

What a vile response. Clinton abused a subordinate employee. Have you read anything about the impact it had on Monica's life? Trump paid Stormy to sign a confidentiality agreement, which he respected. He did nothing to try to destroy her life (which sadly, has been made much more difficult by her exploitive Creepy Porn Lawyer Avenatti).

This is a term that Tucker Carlson uses almost exclusively.

It's no secret where you're influenced.

There is a funny set of standards practiced here.

The standard of the right is hypocrisy.

Do you even know the history of the Republican Party, Marc? It was started by abolitionists. Lincoln was the first Republican President. Why wouldn't they call themselves the Party of Lincoln?

Why are you holding on to something that happened hundreds of years ago as if it applies today?

Do you know their present?

Why is the Republican party the only party that's ACTIVELY suppressing the black vote?

Can you be honest about that?

Unlike many vocal negros of today, Malcolm knew who the enemy was. He didn't want to crawl into bed with them like so many do today, educate yourself.

He's probably rolling over in his grave.

What do you think Malcolm would say about today's Republican party?

 

[Rambunctious]

Dude . Monica was 22.

When they got caught maybe but...she was 19 or 20 when they started up....go ahead prove my point that you still worship him....LMAO

I doubt that, but 18 is the legal age to consent and Lewinsky consented.

So then it is okay for the boss to hump the staff?....your undies are showing lib....

Wrong. Sadly, we don't have a dunce cap small enough to fit your pinhead.

*sigh* I specified the meaning. You just don't like it.

I like Tucker, but that term has spread into the common vernacular at this point.

This is what you said "identity politics" was...

"Politics should be the competition of IDEAS - a contest to determine what is best for the society which the political system supports.

I'm saying we're already doing that. The "we" being the people YOU and your ilk, like to accuse of using this made up term "identity politics", it's just that it's ideas YOU, and your ilk, don't like. Therefore, because it's something that we already are doing/engaging in, the term "identity politics" is truly made up, because it has no meaning. Which is what I, and others, have been saying for the longest.

Well seeing Lincoln was the first Republican President mean it is the political party that Lincoln once belonged, as did Teddy and Ike.

Are you so narrow minded that you believe every Republican today is a closet or open racist?

If so then you are no better than those on the right that believe every Democrat is a race baiting Marxist.

That term is only "common" in the farthest of rightwing precincts.

You're not adding anything to the discussion Bruce, you're just repeating what was already stated in the OP.

The question is WHY do Republicans feel compelled to repeat that tired old line?

Whether it's a fact or not, we all know that, so there MUST be a reason they're saying it.

So what's their reason for repeating it so often, especially when no one ever asks them to say it in the first place?

Marc still doesn’t understand that if one is racist no matter how hard he yells at them not to be racist, they will still be racist. Marc also believes that only Republicans may be racist. What a total uneducated dork he is.

They are just stating a fact. ....

Why are they seemingly compelled to repeat that fact over, and over, and over again throughout the media, when no one ever asks them to?

Why do you think that is Sport?

It is to remind you for many years the Democratic Policies of the past were to enslave you while it took a Republican President to free your ancestors from bondage of slavery.

Now let be factual had the South not did it insurrection slavery would have not ended in the South and in fact Lincoln was not forcing the South to give up their slaves before the War against the insurrection.

So as you believe Lincoln was out to destroy the South the fact is had the South stayed in the Union slavery would have not been abolished in slave states but would not be permitted in new States or territories.

Yeah, Lincoln was not the actual hero you thought and the South stupidity caused the end of Slavery while causing the most Americans to die in any war that this country has fought.

Freedom of Speech.

I know you hate the First Amendment and would regulate what someone says because the truth bothers you and those like you.

As I wrote it is to remind ignorant people that the Democrat Party for Generations did all it could to hold those like you down.

Did you know Nixon was more liberal than Obama when it came to Healthcare for all and yet the Democratic party did not pass the Nixon\Kennedy plan, so it seem the GOP until Reagan was more progressive than the party you suckle the tit from.

I know you hate the reality.
