Today's History Lesson: Lincoln's Disagreement with Obamaism
Publius' Forum ^ | 4/29/09 | Warner Todd Huston

Barack Obama's new way socialism is really just as no way as it's always been. But, regardless of the central American spirit that Obamaism attempts to defeat, it is proclaimed that he is only interested in fixing America. So, because he is only here to help, Obama is deemed a savior by his acolytes.

Another of Obama's false fronts is his claim to be "just like" Abraham Lincoln, a facade he wears with relish. The claim is, after all, a perfect cover for his essentially anti-American agenda. What could be more American than the fulfillment of Lincoln's efforts to free the slaves but a black man being elected to the presidency? The mere fact of his election seems to affirm the better angels of our nature.

But, here I'd like to report a quote that tends to show that Lincoln would not have approved of a president Barack Obama. Not because Obama is a black man, but because he is a socialist.

In his last address to the crowds of Alton, Illinois during his famous Lincoln/Douglas debates of 1858 Lincoln uttered a few lines that would tend to argue against Obama's socialist policies. Lincoln chose the subject of the eternal war between right and wrong as the platform for his attack on the very principle of socialism.
