I’m with Lincoln. You use your authority which he had to keep the Union together. You don’t allow a few rich gentry to destroy the greatest promise on earth because they wanted to keep a dying economic system based on an immoral trade in human beings.

Thanks, we're all slaves now. What a great Union. What is the effective tax rate now 60%? where do most liberals live? YankeeLand and CA. What a legacy. Must be so proud.

I with the Conservative, Abraham Lincoln.

“I’m with Lincoln. You use your authority which he had to keep the Union together. You don’t allow a few rich gentry to destroy the greatest promise on earth because they wanted to keep a dying economic system based on an immoral trade in human beings.”

What is that “greatest promise on earth” if it is not the right of men to govern themselves, rather then be governed by distant governments that disregard the limits of their own constitution.

Lincoln himself destroyed that promise, it doesn’t matter. He saved the union bey distorting everything it stood for. he freed the slaves by enslaving everyone else to perpetual union with their lawless government.
