Kentucky is one of the worst states in America.

What do you produce besides toffs in cheqersuit knittings and horrid rates of poverty? Nothing. You produce nothing. Your state is not essential for the Union. You're nothing; you've produced no Presidents.

All you have going for you is that one avant-garde music fest in March.

Yeah, born in the shithole that was Kentucky. Moved away because Kentucky is poo poo, practiced as an attorney for the Illinois Central Railroad.

I don't see no Lincoln working for the Kentucky Central Railroad. Oh, wait, Kentucky was too poo poo a state to invest in non-slave infrastructure. My bad.

Was Lincoln a Senator from Kentucky? No. Best thing Lincoln did for Kentucky was marry and gtfo

Death to Dixie

Down with Seccession

quote:

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord;
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored;
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword:
His truth is marching on.

(Chorus)
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.

I have seen Him in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps,
They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps;
I can read His righteous sentence in the dim and flaring lamps:
His day is marching on.

(Chorus)
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
His day is marching on.

I have read a fiery gospel writ in burnished rows of steel:
"As ye deal with my contemners, so with you my grace shall deal";
Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with his heel,
Since God is marching on.

(Chorus)
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Since God is marching on.

He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat;
He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment-seat:
Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him! be jubilant, my feet!
Our God is marching on.

(Chorus)
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Our God is marching on.

In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea,
With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me.
As He died to make men holy, let us live to make men free,
While God is marching on.

(Chorus)
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
While God is marching on.

He is coming like the glory of the morning on the wave,
He is Wisdom to the mighty, He is Succour to the brave,
So the world shall be His footstool, and the soul of Time His slave,
Our God is marching on.

(Chorus)
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah.
Our God is marching on.

This is bad advice because you are essentially telling people to vote Rauner, who we both know wants more than just a governorship.

President Emanuel would be one of America's greatest executives, able to force an agenda like LBJ. You want Bibi to have a coming-to-god moment? You make a contribution to Emanuel. You want an American President to say, no, gently caress you, to Israelis? You urge Emanuel to run.

Kirk gonna try and cut the legs out from Duckworth with early fundraising. Durbin gonna brace Duckworth for '16 and win himself a Majority Leadership one of these days.

Shortly before its demise, LF and a handful of other doomed subforums got locked in their own separate section, which Lowtax called Retarded Forums for Assholes (or something similar). Posting in any of them risked your account getting forums cancer, which was supposed to clear up if you didn't post in any of them for a period of time, but it may have become permanent for some reason.
