You should thank Lincoln every day.

I agree wholeheartedly!!

Thank you Mr. Lincoln, for overpowering government
Thank you Mr. Lincoln, for overstepping your constitutional boundries(and I don't give a dern about Whiskey Acts created to cover a small rebellion 65 years prior, the powers he used were NOT in the Constitution)
Thank you, Mr. Lincoln for attacking Southern ports and allowing your generals to burn and pillage the South
Thank you, Mr. Lincoln, for giving our current POTUS a honest to goodness blueprint to follow when setting up military tribunals(even though yours were declared unconstitutional in 1866 by the SCOTUS)
Thank you, Mr Lincoln for starting one of the worst wars in history up to that time(even though you didn't get Congressional support)
Thank you Mr. Lincoln for ballooning the national debt 100 TIMES in a short four years

You know we do have a lot to be thankful to Lincoln for < /sarcasm>
