Abe Lincoln was a dictator??? (Need Help combating loony argument)

Posted on 04/19/2010 8:18:35 AM PDT by erod

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

I like Abe Lincoln, so I won’t be arguing he was a dictator. He was a president during the roughest patch of US History.

Had I met people like you in the flesh while I was down there then I'd probably hate it as much as you claim I do.

I, like most Southerners can be just as charming as hell to Yankees, hiding our real feelings on such matters. You'd never know that I think you are all socialist scum. Or worse, mule tit republicans.

was at the chevy dealer talking to a lovely woman and who I have talked ot many times.

Just then a couple form MA came up with their arrogant attitude blaming the last mechanic that they might, MIGHT have ruined and sabotaged their car for their journey back to MA.

The southern woman asked well how do you know , is it broke or overheating.

no

well I don’t get why you’re here and how we can help if your car is not broke.

This MA arrogant couple went beserk and told the woman it’s alright for her she had a pay rise
HUH we said

the couple was so far up their own arse and thankfully they’re going back up there.
We wee all talking later about the couple and everyone there said that it’s not uncommon for them to come down here and think they’re above everyone else .

Maybe the confederate flag got them all pissy I don’t know but after that I think they might not be coming back to this town

NAIL ON HEAD

The msot racism I have ever seen and heard was in MA and mostly in south Boston.
you can still walk down the road and hear the N word out loud, most do not have their kids in school there but catholic school and i asked why
The reply was
Because there’s too many N%%%%%% who go there.

We hear about Selma etc but how about the national guard in south Boston for weeks and remember Mark Walburg(sp) got arrested back in the day throwing stones at the blacks kids gong to school while he was shouting racist comments.

funny how the MSM never mentions Boston and their race riots

Hmm, NS is a she?

Have you seen its postings on the “Obama isn’t a natural born citizen” threads?

They’re insane! And exactly as you describe.
