#union #iww #occupy #ows #p2 #p21 #tlot #tcot #TeaParty TWO BY ABRAHAM LINCOLN: “We may congratulate ourselves that this cruel war is nearing its end.

I feel at this moment more anxiety for the safety of my country than ever before, even in the midst of war. God grant that my suspicions may prove groundless.” The passage appears in a letter from Lincoln to (Col.) William F. Elkins, Nov. 21, 1864. See: http://www.ratical.org/corporations/Lincoln.html “These capitalists generally act harmoniously and in concert to fleece the people, and now that they have got into a quarrel with themselves, we are called upon to appropriate the people's money to settle the quarrel.” speech to Illinois legislature, Jan. 1837.

Or did Ryan utilize his teachings within the madrasa that is the Ayn Rand school of “Me first.
