Yes, this is creepy. If I remember correctly, Lincoln’s inauguration was followed by a scuffle on an island in the harbor at Charleston, South Carolina, followed by a brawl somewhere in the Virginia woods near the nation’s capital.
I also recall that the theme of Lincoln’s presidency was that the union of states could not be broken apart. Is the theme of Obama’s presidency the Hegelian dream that the state, once established, is eternal?
My son and I watched the film “Red Dawn” this weekend. He’s 10 years old. We had a long discussion about freedom and liberty, and what people have to do to protect their liberty. Right now he’s running around the house yelling, “Wolverines!”
We’ll see how Lincolnesque Obama really is. Maybe he’s more like Lincoln Chaffee? LOL
That is weird. Everytime I think of this guy I think of the same movie.
Sure would hate to shoot my own brother though.
Probably more along the lines of “L’etat c’est moi.”
