However, some israeli media are really smart and knowledgable, they have tried to sort out the dilemma for
many decades, maybe even centuries, although with little success, quite the opposite.

However, nothing like more Know-Nothing immigrants, much like Lincoln, although that part
of his stuff goes back to much earlier. King Cotton was more important then as now.

"I am not a Know-Nothing. That is certain. How could I be? How can any one who abhors the
oppression of negroes, be in favor of degrading classes of white people? Our progress in
degeneracy appears to me to be pretty rapid. As a nation, we began by declaring that "all men are
created equal." We now practically read it "all men are created equal, except Negroes." When the
Know-Nothings get control, it will read "all men are created equal, except Negroes and foreigners
and Catholics." When it comes to this, I shall prefer emigrating to some country where they make
no pretense of loving liberty - to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure and
without the base alloy of hypocrisy."
