Apparently the IRS is now looking into the Prosperity Gospel scam because of this report, which is super funny if you're isolated but super depressing if you know the sort of people who believe this sort of thing with all their heart

Who's ready for another "HURR DURR WAR ON CHRISTIANITY" meltdown if they ACTUALLY follow through with it

From what I've heard, many people in the IRS have wanted to do something about all these church scams much like people in the FEC wanted to investage the churches that've been violating election laws, but they've been squashed by the Dem administrations that know the religious right will lose its loving mind once they have *actual* oppression to be upset about instead of the made-up poo poo they use daily. GOP administrations have, of course, put zero effort into either of those things.

Hopefully this goes beyond the obvious types that Oliver focused on, but it's not very likely.

Radical Republicans wanted something crazy like a 65-75% oath taking by every county that voted to secede. Lincoln wanted it at like 5% or something like that just to speed along re-entry. Although I think tying it to the 13th Amendment was an important step, I wonder if Lincoln would have pressed for its strong enforcement versus the approach people took after he died?

The war transformed Lincoln, completely I believe.

Booth resolved to kill Lincoln when Lincoln hinted at granting suffrage to at least some portion of the black population to protect their rights. He also said privately that, if forced between the two sides, he would support the Radicals' position as they were in the right, but tried to get the nation there with less hostility and animosity.

While the task was so tremendous that no one has yet succeeded, I have little doubt that Lincoln would have preformed better than Johnson.

Yeah I also know that there is historical controversey, especially a certain African-American historian who maintains that Lincoln was a white supremacist, racist up until the end, never mind Lincoln had likely dropped the whole "ship them to Africa, ship them home" abolitionism that he believed in before the war. I think the Civil War awoke in Lincoln exactly the qualities and reason we even bother to remember the guy today.

I think the Civil War awoke in Lincoln exactly the qualities and reason we even bother to remember the guy today.

Lincoln would certainly be considered a racist if he lived today. He was certainly no Garrison or even Chase. I think the best that could be said is that he didn't think about Black people much. Remember, back then there were laws on the books in Illinois making it illegal for Black people to move into the state. He certainly pushed for colonization well into his presidency. For most of his life, he was against slavery, then for getting Blacks out of the country or something.

Still, I think it's telling that the only time he declared Blacks to be inferior to Whites that was only "in color", and his growth as he encountered and spoke with African-Americans was undeniable. He did end up tabling his colonization plan in favor of suffrage, and Fredrick Douglass stated that Lincoln was the only White man who treated him as an equal and didn't remind him that Douglass was Black and he was White.

Before his Presidency, Lincoln's experiences with African-Americans were very limited, and he almost certainly carried a lot of the baggage of the day, but his encounters as President greatly shaped his worldview.

Nonsense
Jan 26, 2007

Oh yeah, he most definitely was racist, but a brutal conflict in which nearly a million "Civilized Whites" murdered each other over owning Black people, I'm sure made the point real clear that everything he had known before the war was bullshit, nearly all of it, including many aspects of abolitionism, which was quite frankly racist. Yeah I'm just brain farting out in the open, because it seems impossible to have such transformations possible, in the demagogue* age we live in.

*I know there's nothing new under the sun, but anti-intellectualism is really popular right now.
