Lincoln Liberal? By what standard?

He would be considered Right-wing by todays standards.

NOT EVEN CLOSE. Nice try though.

Lincoln was more Big Government than most liberals today. He trashed the COnstitution and created the mess we have in Washington now. He was a nominal Republican, only because his real party name already had a bad reputation.
