Probably not: Lincoln would for sure be condemned as a racist today.Some people have asked for a return to the Lincoln-Douglas style
They welcome diversity and freedom of expression so long as they approve of your expression.Chicago just embarrassed itself to the world.
That would call for an expansion of the tax base so everyone has skin in the game.A big part of the blame (though it is many-faceted) is simply due to the average person's disinterest in politics.
1) I said "style" not content. The "Lincoln-Douglas style" is a common term used by forensic societies.Probably not: Lincoln would for sure be condemned as a racist today.
What he said about the slaves would offend many people today.
Apparently, Trump isn't even allowed to speak at the University of Illinois in Chicago, so we will never know. What if Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders said the same thing?Now, imagine what will happen if trump said something remotely like that,
Don't misunderstand me. I think what happened was wrong, but not very unexpected. When you insult 35 to 40% of the people sooner or later they are going to do something. His response reminds me of the arsonist that was kind enough to call 911.Apparently, Trump isn't even allowed to speak at the University of Illinois in Chicago, so we will never know. What if Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders said the same thing?

Here is a link to the content of that debate that dannyf avoided adding: [/quote]
Any political discourse ceases to exist if you start to attribute "motives" to people whom you disagree with.
Basically you are saying that Lincoln is a liar.Lincoln was anti-slavery. He was also a politician running for the Senate from Illinois.
Yes, I agree.I think what happened -- at a state university no less -- was wrong, period. There is no excuse.
Every legitimate candidate deserves the right to speak. Certainly, a very large number of people also are offended and insulted by what Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders say. Where were the police? What about the administration at UIC? Doesn't every major candidate deserve the same protection and right to present his/her views that Hillary Clinton gets?
While what happened might have been expected, it will probably work to Trump's advantage and support his bombastic claims. So yes, political ploy was probably involved in Trump's cancellation. But of course, the demonstration was not a spontaneous event, it was well a well-planned event.

Both Dem candidates fell over themselves the other day in a debate, proclaiming they will NOT enforce existing immigration law. I'm not surprised at their positions, but I was shocked they would publicly announce they do not intend to do law enforcement - the most important function assigned to the Executive by the constitution.I think the difference is the Dems only insult the top 1% instead of the bottom 35%.
What liberals/dems are saying this?n some cases, liberals are advocating locking up of people who refuse to align up to the progressive thinking of this moment.
