Abraham Lincoln was an American hero who changed history because of his faith in God and the principle of Liberty.

I don't need to read further. The tyrant Lincoln has precluded from us what the Czechs and Slovaks just voted on peacefully: a national divorce.

Lincoln chose bloodshed of hundreds of thousands rather than peacefully allowing some to leave a political arrangement.

We may end up in bloodshed again if Obama don’t stop destroying the political arenas and our country

Was it Thomas Jefferson : “Periodic revolution, “at least once every 20 years,” was “a medicine necessary for the sound health of government.” were about 200 years Overdue

I take it then, that if you had been president in 1861, you would not have found secession to be a direct threat to the territorial integrity of the U.S., even perhaps to the ultimate extinction of the country itself?

I was also wondering if you could tell us which side actually fired the first shot?
