Few people understand how lawless Abraham Lincoln was in propagating our country’s biggest nightmare—the Civil War. And not enough people sense the parallel of Obama’s emerging lawlessness.

Oh no . . . here we go again!

He suspended the writ of habeas corpus, a law that prevents people from being imprisoned without due process.

The Constitution actually doesn't totally forbid the suspension of habeas corpus but says it may not be suspended without compelling reasons. Meanwhile, J. Edgar Hoover allegedly wanted to suspend habeas corpus for the Korean War. I suppose that was different from Lincoln because Hoover was a conservative while Lincoln allegedly was not?

And slavery, which was clearly on its way out anyway

Now just hold on one minute, Sunshine! You mean after the Compromise of 1850, the Fugitive Slave Law, the repeal of the Missouri Compromise by the Kansas-Nebraska Act, the Dred Scott decision, and the caning of Charles Sumner by Preston Brooks that slavery was "on the way out???"

You neo-Confederates disgust me. I'm proud of my Southern Unionist ancestors.

Hoover wasn’t a “conservative”, he was a nut-case.
