“The best President since Abe Lincoln? Wow, that is an insult to Reagan.”

No kidding. And to a lot of other presidents, as well. Lincoln has been beatified, yet he is the one person most responsible for the stupidity of Wilsonian Progressivism, which set the stage for the most destructive presidency in American history, from a constitutional and freedom standpoint (FDR). Lincoln was a most vocal proponent of a large, ubiquitous, and all-powerful federal government, at the expense of the respective states — even before he was elected president. Without Lincoln laying the foundation, FDR’s trampling of the Constitution would not have been possible. It’s really tragic, because Lincoln had a chance to be the great unifier, but he was a stubborn man who exemplified “It’s my way or the highway.” His hubris brought us a terrible, terrible war.
