Joey's posts are always deceptive. In that post I simply reminded everyone that both Hitler and Lincoln sought to eliminate federalism (and States' rights,) and consolidate all power into a central government, which is the choice of all dictators.

That said, this is Hitler, again. The first paragraph could have been written by James Madison; the second by Lincoln, or some other dictator:

"What is a federated state? By a federated state we understand a league of sovereign states which band together of their own free will, on the strength of their sovereignty; ceding to the totality that share of their particular sovereign rights which makes possible and guarantees the existence of the common federation."

"In practice this theoretical formulation does not apply entirely to any of the federated states existing on earth today. Least of all to the American Union, where, as far as the overwhelming part of the individual states are concerned, there can be no question of any original sovereignty, but, on the contrary, many of them were sketched into the total area of the Union in the course of time, so to speak. Hence in the individual states of the American Union we have mostly to do with smaller and larger territories, formed for technical, administrative reasons, and, often marked out with a ruler, states which previously had not and could not have possessed any state sovereignty of their own. For it was not these states that had formed the Union, on the contrary it was the Union which formed a great part of such so-called states. The very extensive special rights granted, or rather assigned, to the individual territories are not only in keeping with the whole character of this federation of states, but above all with the size of its area, its spatial dimensions which approach the scope of a continent. And so, as far as the states of the American Union are concerned, we cannot speak of their state sovereignty, but only of their constitutionally established and guaranteed rights, or better, perhaps, privileges."

Kalamata: "Joey's posts are always deceptive.

Kalamata's posts are always lies, typically outrageous lies, in this case comparing Lincoln & Hitler.
As a typical Democrat at heart, our Kalamata doesn't care if his words are true, only hopes they serve as effective weapons against Lincoln, Republican and the United States of America.
