Just wanting to see if anybody had anything interesting to post about my least favorite of presidents (well maybe not my least favorite, Taft wasn’t so great, but Lincoln is the most overrated). Don’t have the time to actually post reasons for not liking him so I figured I’d put this up here and see if anything interesting develops while I’m away.
I like cake.
I like ice cream with my cake, but next to it, not on it.
Sharp cheddar cheese with apple pie - now that’s a dream combination.
In response to the OP, I suppose he thought he was Abraham Lincoln. I mean, that’s what everyone kept calling him, right?
Okay, c’mon people… This is Great Debates. Let’s try to address the topic at hand, okay?
Do you think Lincoln liked his ice cream on his cake, or beside his cake?
Didn’t he eat his cake from a coal shovel or something?
My research has shown that Abe only ate his ice cream WITH his cake when it was politically prudent to do so.
No, you’re thinking of him splitting his cake in two with an axe.
Respect to a fine man but Mr. Lincoln is a cake.
Anyone for tennis?
Geez, that is the worst troll attempt I have ever seen.
Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president of the United States, kept a pint of Cherry Garcia in his top hat.
Do trolls eat their cake with ice cream, too?
Aw, c’mon! Tell us why you don’t like Lincoln.
sigh … I hate to do this, but I think I’m going to actually try and address the OP.
One of the things Abe Lincoln is notorious for is the fact that, at the onset of the Civil War, he suspended Habeas Corpus. (This was primarily due to anti-Unionists in Maryland who were blocking and harassing Federal troops on their march to assemble in Washington, D.C…) Roger B. Taney, chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, issued a ruling that President Lincoln did not have the authority to suspend habeas corpus. Lincoln ignored Taney, and apparently even tried to have Taney arrested.
Were Lincoln’s actions justified? Was he really the tyrant emperor the South liked (and still likes) to paint him as?
There. There’s a debate starter about Lincoln. Go get 'em.
I like Cake, I saw them live in Chicago with Alien Ant Farm and Dave Navarro, 25 feet from the stage outside street fest, pretty cool.
Yes, but did he not confess to chopping down his cake?
that tracer - he’s such a wet blanket.
Curse you Tracer! Suspension of the writ of habeas corpus is the best you can do. MMMMMmmmmmmm Chunky Monkey!
