“Lincoln was a fascist in my opinion. Maybe the first fascist.”

I don’t disagree with you on that, but I think modern research is starting to reflect that Lincoln was likely a bi-polar closet queer.

Jay Redhawk: "I don’t disagree with you on that, but I think modern research is starting to reflect that Lincoln was likely a bi-polar closet queer."

Modern research is a bit high-falutin' a term for it.
"Anti-Lincoln propaganda" might be more accurate.

The fact is that Lincoln was as much a loyal family-man as anyone of his time, or of ours for that matter.

As for allegations of "bi-polar", the evidence shows that when times were worst, Lincoln obviously felt bad.
When events improved, so did Lincoln's outlook.
So that's not "bi-polar", that's being a normal human being.

Finally, the smartest, most experienced man in Lincoln's cabinet was William Seward, Secretary of State.
After an initial rough go, where Seward's views clashed with Lincoln's, Seward reported to friends that Lincoln was "the best among us".

Seward was correct, the rest is nonsense.

I see that the Lost Cause Losers’s 3rd string have arrived to the discussion ;-)

Or what passes for research among the rebel wannabes.
