Ping to a Republican-American Editorial.
If you want on or off this ping list, let me know.
So, Lincoln participated in the systematic genocidal removal of Native Americans from their ancestral lands...? No wonder Glenn Beck held his rally on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial....

Many would say he learned a lot from lincoln...
There’s only one thing Obama is good at.
Agitating.
Indeed. Like how to destroy a sovereign nation. Hopefully Obama will be taken out of effective office before there is mass murder of men, women, and children, as occured in Atlanta under Sherman.
Right On Target—and more!

Kinda harsh FRiend.
Obama is a symptom of the larger problem.
I would say thaere is a difference between Lincoln and Barry.
One wanted to save the Nation, one seems bent on destroying it.

WoW!
Did YOU get a wrong # !!!!!
SAy what Gunny
Why don’t you educate me then?
Oh, I have all the “CW was all about”
Nothern Taxes,
control of southern cotton, Nothern mills needed the cotton
states rights
etc, etc down.
Is there something I missed?
Actually, Obama is the third wartime President from Illinois, if you count the war with the Sioux over the Black Hills—the battle of the Little Bighorn was fought in June 1876, when Grant was President.
“thanks to the arrogance and vainglorious incompetence of some of the worst generals ever to wear a U.S. uniform — John Fremont, John Pope, Ambrose Burnside, Henry Wager Halleck and George McClellan.”
Not a fair statement. Robert E Lee made a lot of opposing generals look bad, and in fact he almost did the same to U.S. Grant in 1864.
What had really changed is that Lincoln had learned patience.
Ambrose Burnside had an accurately modest view of his own abilities. He only accepted command of the Union Armies the third time it was offered. Blame Lincoln, Lee, and the Peter principle for Burnside’s failure as commander.
And so, unlike Lincoln, Obama chose to micromanage the war
What other “great” leader micromanaged a war, was it Adolf Hussein Hitler?
I sure hope the Dhimmikrats notice the erie similarities between Zero and Adolf.

It’s fair about McClellan, Mr. “Hey if you’re not going to use the army, may I borrow it for a while?”

Do you have any facts about that or do you just like sounding like a moron?
Lincoln didn't need any help ending the confederacy. Jeff Davis saw to that when he launched a war he couldn't win.
Not going to go around and around with you again. You buy the northern myth of the cause of the invasion from the north and do not want to be bothered by the facts history is revealing. But for the sake of history, Davis did not declare war, Lincoln did- illegally. Every other formally federal fort built with the South’s tax dollars was turned back over to the Southern State that had seceded. Lincoln would not give Ft. Sumter because he needed the extortionist tariffs he was collecting from the sea port. Other days of warning for the federal troops to leave the South’s sovereign soil the “fort” was fired on to press the point. It is a basic rule of law that no foreign country can occupy a sovereign nation uninvited. We just wanted to be left alone.
