“I lost one and it changes your psyche and your brain forever.”

It certainly does.

When I visited the Lincoln home in Springfield, the tour guide told us that a friend of Lincoln’s once saw him being chased out of the house by his wife (Mary Todd Lincoln) who was wielding a butcher knife.

If he were alive today, he'd be 210 years old and in the Guiness book of records.

His namesake only lived 175 years.

Though sleeping with young union soldiers seemed to cheer him up.

The pseudoscientific claptrap from the shrinks never stops.

Yeah I’m sure Lincoln would have been much better off on SSRIs. Then ha could have just murdered his family and blown his own brains out.

He couldn’t free the slaves fast enough.

He couldn't legally free them at all. That was a serious break of constitutional law on two points. Direct violation of Article IV, section 2, and a violation of "due process."

If only the tyrant Lincoln had committed suicide early on. It would have saved a lot of lives.

The Civil War would have happened even if Lincoln hadn’t been elected you nit. The slavocracy was committed to blowing up the union. Too bad your mama didn’t encourage you to do the same.

No it didn’t have to happen you idiot. Lots of other presidents would not have started an extremely bloody war to impose US government rule over people who did not consent to it.
