Yet without that strong, resolute, and committed Lincoln, the United States would have been lost and all of the good that we have done for the world would have been lost with it.
It makes one wonder, however.
By employing tactics that the leering loon currently enjoying imperial power, it would appear he’s looking over Lincoln’s shoulder.
Why history regarding Lincoln was so shaded is somewhat of a mystery. If he was passing himself as a conservative (which he definitely was not) duty bound to save the union by violating the Consitution, then the Republicrat Party should be ashamed.
I’ve often wondered what would have happened had the South won the war against the conscripted North whose ranks were packed with newly-arrived foreigners. Those who believe the Civil War was fought over slavery are seriously misguided.
There was nothing consitutional about that evil war and there’s no way, had I lived at that time, that my support wouldn’t have been with the South.
The good we did in the 20th Century was to bail out Europe from a war that was so convoluted very few make sense of it today! We did manage to get thousands of our young men killed in order to save France’s bacon!
WWII was one where our fearless leader goaded the axis powers into an act of war. The goading began a decade or so earlier when FDR boldly informed Britain to drop Japan as one of their key allies. They did and Tokio knew why and hated us and the Brits ever since. Of course this is just one of many.
The end of the war left China in the hands of the evil Mao to kill as many millions of his own people as he could.
We left battered Eastern Europe in the hands of the cruel Stalin to make their lives as miserable as they were under Hitler.
In Korea we stalemated and left the evil power in the North free to cause us mischief and to receive bribes for playing nice, which they never did.
In Viet Nam we lost.
We shouldn’t have invaded Iraq.
We should have bombed the hell out of Afghanistan and destroyed the oil fields of the sly Saudis and not placed troops on the ground to be maimed purposely so they could bring their damaged bodies back to America to show the fruits of war against islamists.
Now our great foreign policies pump money into nations that hate us. This is money we borrow from the Chinese who also hate us.
What good have we done? What have we lost excepting our honor?
Such is the justification for all tyranny. Your nieve attachment to Lincoln is in no way different from the setimental attachment blacks and progressives feel to Obama. Indeed they are the same. Both deny the corruption of evil.
Both make the outrageous claim that our very existence depends upon the merciless application of terrorism against all who stand in the way of their progressive agenda.
The greatest good we can do for the world is to be a shining city, an example of free men and women working together without government intrusion. Reagan said it best when he demanded that government IS the problem.
The Lincoln legacy is government, overreaching and overpowering. Nothing good came of Lincoln's presidency. The party of Lincoln. Humbug!
