Congressmen who willfully take actions during wartime that damage morale and
undermine the military are saboteurs and should be arrested, exiled, or hanged."
-- President Abraham Lincoln --
(Wouldn't Abe just love John Kerry the Democrats, those who are in the liberal media and the egotistical Hollywood geeks?)

THEY ARE ALL ROLLING OVER IN THEIR GRAVES.
Don't know about the authenticity of that quote (there are a lot of things attributed to Lincoln that he probably never said), but if it is true then Abe was a flaming hypocrite. In 1846 he was a congressman who opposed the Mexican War effort. His most famous speech that year gave direct aid and comfort to the Mexicans who had invaded Texas land to the north of the Rio Grande and attacked American troops.
Of course, Abe was perfecting willing to criticize the Mexican-American war while it was in progress and many peacenik freepers did the same the Kosovo war. Traitors all!
