Hi FRiends,
I have two brothers who I love very much, they’re young and libertarian Ron Paul supporters, sigh. We get along and I’m hoping that one day they’ll come back to conservatism, but they have bought into a theory that I don’t think makes much sense:
Abe Lincoln was a dictator.
There are many websites dedicated to this nonsense you can Google "Abe Lincoln dictator" and get some weird stuff, if you want to check it out.
I need your help in busting this myth are there any books I can read on this subject to dispel this stuff? Do you know any of the arguments to combat this nonsense? Ie. Lincoln did not want to free the slaves.
Thanks for taking time out of your day to help me out, -Erod
At this time of day if I can somehow make a post without a typo or other error, I consider it a near-miracle.
By
Military force is a yankee/Shutzstaffel tradition.
Speak of the devil and look who appears.
The same kind of talk you claim justifies unilateral secession.
I showed your posts to my daughter and she was absolutely amazed that anyone could have such a contempt for adoption as you seem to. I had to explain that you're just a sad, sick, sorry little man who enjoys wallowing in hatred.
Yet another pot-meet-kettle moment. You are clearly on a roll today.
I feel sorry for you.
I waste no sympathy on you. You are what you are, and I've given up trying to understand how someone can hate as much as you do. Like my mother-in-law, you don't seem to be happy unless you're hating something.
Why thank you, Sir. And we love our gentlemen:)

Yes.
But the man asked about Abraham Lincoln.
The above statement was made by which of the following?
Hate the Constitution. Hate the country. Hate the Declaration of Independence. Hate is what keeps you guys happy. Hate is your reason for living, such as it is. Hate is what brings you together and keeps you together. And if you ever get your act together and actually secede then hatred will be what your country is founded on and what drives it. Hatred of anyone and everyone who is not you. And I'll feel sorry for whatever part of your population you channel it towards.
Educate me with a Lou Rockwell screed by Tommy DiLIErenzo and his fractured history? LOL. You are hopeless.
Me. And it’s completely accurate, too.
And the parts where all you Lost Causers express your hatred of the U.S. and your phobia for homosexuality. She wondered why you were allowed to be so anti-American and I reminded her that this is a free country where even idiots have the right to speak their mind.
The definition of a bogus decision being any one that you disagree with?
And where was he wrong? What power did the president have to interfere with slavery where it existed?
“I will say, then, that I am not, nor have ever been in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races ... I am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race.” -— Abraham Lincoln
Yes we know. Lincoln was a racist. But according to you he was the only one in the U.S. at the time, in spite of the fact that his views were far more advanced than any Southerner you would care to name. But you never want to go there.
Only a master of the science of loony history such as Tommy would fail to see the irony in including those words in a defense of the #1 all time parasitic live-at-others expense class in America, the Southern secessionists.
But does the Constitution specifically state, anywhere in the document, that the Executive has the power to suspend habeus corpus? If it does not state it, then he does not have that power.
If you interpret it otherwise, then you might as well be a big-government, nanny-statist, democrat.
By the way, Article 1 of the Constitution lists the powers and duties of the Legislature, Article 2 lists the powers and duties of the Executive and Article 3 lists the powers and duties of ther Judciary.
If you are so desperate in your attempt to find a foot-hold for your argument that you are searching Article 1 for powers of the executive, then, as before, you may as well be a big-government, nanny-statist, democrat.
