To: Josef Stalin
"With trailer trash Lincoln trashing the Constitution to serve his masters and by the winning of the war getting away with it, we now have the type of all powerful central government our Founders warned us about."

So the Fugitive Slave Act passed by Southerners and Democrats that allowed Federal Marshals to force private citizens, against their will and under pain of imprisonment, to track down run away slaves was what the Founders wanted? Was the Dred Scott decision, by a Southern Democrat controlled Supreme Court which for the first time allowed the Federal Government to define who could or could not be a citizen of a state and allowed the federal courts to overturn personal liberty laws in the states what the founders wanted?

Your silly characterization of Lincoln as some great satin who single-handedly destroyed a perfect state and lead us into a totalitarian government show that your knowledge of history is on the comic book level. You have no comprehension of the events that lead to the Civil War and obviously no knowledge of exactly when the Federal government really did begin consistently overstepping the bounds that the founders intended. That transition took place long after Lincoln was gone and it was sadly done with the consent and support of the majority of the American people. We always get the government that we deserve.

You blindly accept anything thrown at you by the neo-confederate propagandists and do not bother to question it by looking for original sources.
