This seems to be a rather long, disengenious stretch to bash Lincoln. How you can compare the Civil War and slavery and the current situation is beyond my comprehension. Other than to point out how much you hate Lincoln, I really don't understand what you attempting to say. Why not post a thread entitled "Top 10 reasons why I hate Abraham Lincoln"? It would be much less confusing, and a genuine debate could ensue. Better luck next time.

The Lincoln haters are like this guy. There is no stretch too long for them.

Considering that fact that slavery and other atrocities (genocide) have occured and are occuring in/by nations that are members of the UN (Sudan, for one), how can there not be a correlation between the reasons for the Civil War and the right of the U.S. to secede from the UN?

You need to work on your comprehension, sir.
