High Resolution— Abraham Lincoln. Wise man.
Abraham Lincoln was a wise man—which is probably why he never spouted that sort of propaganda. These words were actually written by William John Henry Boetcker, who served as director of the anti-union Citizens’ Industrial Alliance.
Heritage, you really need to do your research on these things. (You really are from The Heritage Foundation, right? You’re not just trolling me?) Surely that must have struck you as a bit too convenient? It would be like me being able to attribute a quote about the importance of allowing the top-brackets of the Bush tax cuts to expire to either Ghandi or Reagan.
In the interest of either not further duping your more gullible readers or playing this prank out to its fullest, could you modify the image to attribute the quote to “Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter”?
Edit: Rather than editing the image as I suggested, The Heritage Foundation has quietly taken it down. However, the image has since been reblogged by a whole lot of conservatives, so I’m going to leave this correction here.
BURN! Don’t you hate when facts get in the way of a good story?

"If any man tells you he loves America, yet hates labor, he is a liar. If any man tells you he trusts America, yet fears labor, he is a fool. All that harms labor is treason to America."

"These capitalists generally act harmoniously and in concert, to fleece the people."
- Abraham Lincoln, from his first speech as an Illinois state legislator, 1837 (via forrestonfire)(Source: guerrillatech, via amodernmanifesto)

"Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration."

High Resolution“Prohibition goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man’s appetite by legislation and makes crimes out of things that are not crimes.” — Abraham Lincoln

"I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. Corporations have been enthroned, an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money-power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until the wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed."
- Abraham Lincoln, more or less predicting the future. (via cognitivedissonance) -
"I am approached with the most opposite opinions and advice, and that by religious men, who are equally certain that they represent the Divine will. I am sure that either the one or the other class is mistaken in that belief, and perhaps in some respects both. I hope it will not be irreverent for me to say that if it is probable that God would reveal his will to others, on a point so connected with my duty, it might be supposed he would reveal it directly to me; for, unless I am more deceived in myself than I often am, it is my earnest desire to know the will of Providence in this matter. And if I can learn what it is I will do it! These are not, however, the days of miracles, and I suppose it will be granted that I am not to expect a direct revelation. I must study the plain physical facts of the case, ascertain what is possible and learn what appears to be wise and right."
