We could definitely use another Abraham Lincoln to emancipate us all from being slaves to words.

Aside from the whole statist anti-federalism asshat business, he was a great guy.

I guess that you are no longer "Still Thinking." Do you have any evidence to back up your assertion about Abe Lincoln? Or are you just a bitter, whinging Southerner who still won't accept that the American Civil War was primarily about slavery?

Can you please show me anything in Lincoln's 1860 platform that was anti-federalist?

There is no doubt that the American Civil War vastly increased the power of the federal government, but to assert that this was Lincoln's intent is to commit the logical fallacy of "post hoc, ergo propter hoc."
