Lincoln tops the list of horrible Presidents. No one else comes close.

"Lincoln tops the list of horrible Presidents. No one else comes close."

YES!

I agree 100%.

Over the years I have been looked at as a leper (and called much worse) whenever the mindless people brainwashed in government schools realized that I did not blindly worship Lincoln and place him at the top of the Best Presidents list.

He was such a diplomat and statesman that he presided over a war pitting brother against brother, ending with 1,000,000 casualties - 1.66% of the entire US population of 60 million. Lincoln left us with 600,000 dead Americans and another 400,000 wounded!

To put it in perspective, a war on that scale today would give us 5.5 million casualties with around 3.3 million killed and 2.2 million wounded.

Some statesman!

In truth he was a vile, manipulative politician who took the best path for himself, ideologically and politically, and did not concern himself with peripheral consequences or collateral damage.

But he could give a rousing good speech!

Now we once again have a man much like Lincoln sitting in the White House.

Obama's idolaters like to compare him with Lincoln.
I think it is a good comparison but for reasons they would not grasp.

[Ditto]

Only in the fever swamp you live it.

Lincoln tops the list of horrible Presidents. No one else comes close.

Would a second bloody civil war change your mind?

If so, stick around...
