A DICTATOR refuses to abide by the laws. The northern states agreed that slavery was legal, and many a yankee made a fortune peddling human flesh. Only a liberal like Al Gore would believe that the President is not subject to the Constitution, and can overthrow it at a whim. Face the facts, Lincoln was a DICTATOR. Only a liberal would believe his actions were legal - obviously you believe in that old liberal standard - a 'living' Constitution.
Why are you even posting on a conservative board, you certainly don't believe in the rule of law, you don't beleive that men have the right of self-goverment, you believe that SCOTUS is comprised of gods whose most infantile holdings are worthy of worship, and you believe everything the media has presented about Saint Abraham and the union cause. Face the facts, around here such are known as 'SHEEPLE".
Absolute bullsh*t. It was because he abided by the laws that Lincoln cancelled earlier manumission orders by men like Fremont and Butler. But by freeing southern slaves through the proclamation he made the law moot. Free people didn't have to be returned to their former owners.
Only a liberal like Al Gore would believe that the President is not subject to the Constitution, and can overthrow it at a whim.
Only a fool would classify the Emancipation Proclamation as such an action.
Why are you even posting on a conservative board...
Because it pisses liberals like you off so much.
...you certainly don't believe in the rule of law...
Totally false. What you mean to say is that I don't believe the law is what you say it is, preferring to go along with people who actually know what they are talking about. Like Chief Justice Marshall, Chief Justice Chase, Chief Justice Rehnquist, etc., etc.
...you don't beleive that men have the right of self-goverment...
While you do? Well, I guess the white part of the population anyway.
...you believe that SCOTUS is comprised of gods whose most infantile holdings are worthy of worship...
No I believe that the Supreme Court has been, for the most part, been comprised of men with a better understanding of the Constitution and the law, and who are better equipped for reasoned analysis and rational rulings than men, well, than men like yourself who don't seem to have any of those traits.
...and you believe everything the media has presented about Saint Abraham and the union cause...
No, but then again I have no doubt that you consider anyone who doesn't share your almost pathalogical hatred of Lincoln to be a Lincoln worshiper.
...around here such are known as 'SHEEPLE".
And around the rest of the world people like you are known as nutcases. Or stand waite.
