[Non-Sequitur]

Your hero - Obama - Is about to “pull a Lincoln” and expel dissenters...

Your hero maybe. Not mine.

Of Good and honest men that were expelled ( or attempted expulsion) or Arrested for alleged disloyalty to the Union....

In several cases - Johnson and Polk, for example - the disloyalty was true. Both those men joined the rebel congress in Richmond. As for the rest, none of them were expelled from Congress for their actions. Luke Blackburn was tried in Canada but not in the U.S. Your list of heroes is pretty thin.

“As for the rest, none of them were expelled from Congress for their actions.”

Jesse David Bright — Expelled from the U.S. Senate, February 5, 1862, over alleged disloyalty to the Union.

Dennis Aloysius Mahoney — Newspaper editor who criticized the Civil War; arrested in August 1862 and held until November at the Old Capitol Federal Prison in Washington, D.C.

Lawrence Washington Hall—Imprisoned for alleged disloyalty to the Union in 1862.

Edson Baldwin Olds—Arrested for alleged disloyalty to the Union and imprisoned in Fort Lafayette in 1862.

Alexander Long—Censured by the House of Representatives during the Civil War, for treasonable utterances.

What is “treasonable utterances” ? F-— Lincoln?
