“Lincoln presided as 500,000 Americans died waring against themselves... FAIL.”

You’re low by about 400%. A minimum of 750,000 combatants dead (mostly from non-combat causes), a quarter of a million civilians dead from collateral damage and war-caused deprivations, and one million of the four million newly-freed slaves simply disappeared before the 1870 census, presumed dead from deprivation and/or misadventure (”dying for freedom”).

Lincoln’s failure to have a plan for what to do with the four million refugees who were the foreseeable consequence of his war led to a fourth of them dying over the next five years.

All told, the blood of two million souls on his hands, give or take a few thousand.

And today, even on this board there is talk of taking up arms against each other. That is precisely what the left wants. Their bloodthirsty souls can’t wait for you to try.
Between the military weapons inherited by tour local swat,team, NOAA and the IRS have full auto weapons..
People can’t see the set up here.. full leninism. Btw. Thanks for posting these temarks.. are they in context?
