Ever hear the statement "Religion is the opium of the masses"? (Karl Marx)
Same thing (or a slight variation thereof) here.
Regards,
per Jason Coffman - August 2014:
Abraham Lincoln was a Marxist and a traitor. He appointed many of the German 48ers (fleeing Germany after a failed Marxist revolution) to his top Generals and Staff during the War of Northern Aggression (Civil War is a misnomer).
He himself had close ties to Karl Marx, and Marx himself was a supporter of the Union's cause in the war (because he understood that cause was to advance socialist ideals).
Lincoln ripped to shreds the Constitution, suspending Habeas Corpus (a Right, not a privilege, as is suggested in the Constitution [another example of Federalist victory]) and imprisoning those in the North who spoke out against his actions. He had hund reds of thousands of men slaughtered, both North and South and he forcefully (unethically, immorally and unlawfully if we are to lend any credence at all to the unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America [know commonly as the Declaration of Independence]). He also created the Internal Revenue Service in 1862, which still exists today as the collection agents for the Federal Reserve System.
