Perhaps.. but it was the states that broke from the union in the end.. and that made them a target... just like any other foreign country it gave Lincoln the right to make the move that he did.
Looks like Barry The Kenyan will have a legacy after all
You are familiar with The Obammunist's czars? Actually commissars/political enforcers accountable only to Hussein? Energy, finance, consumerism, auto industry, etc.
He is now appointing geographical commissars. His first is "Great Lakes" commissar.
In the congress these would be your whips. Responsible for making sure the individual party members follow the dictat. They also are responsible for punishing drifters from the party line.
The Obammunist has them all over the country at all levels. We only hear of the federal commissars.
