"While I in no way endorse the sentiment in this quote, I wish to argue for this quote's inclusion on the grounds that people tend not to be aware that the real Lincoln was not nearly as noble as he is often construed to be. As this quote demonstrates, Lincoln was a racist, not an egalitarian; a collectivist, not an individualist. He does not deserve our worship, nor does any other president. 3 (strongly leaning to 4) allixpeeke (talk) 01:02, 23 August 2014 (UTC)\"
