Some people get their nose out of joint when I point out how similar the Lincoln government and his cronies were to modern day liberals.
I used to compare Lincoln and Obama by saying "that other race obsessed liberal lawyer from Illinois who became President."
:)
Yes, they were all big government Tax and Spend Liberals who liked to feed all their crony capitalists from the government trough, which was paid for with other people's money.
Too many of us have been spoon fed the false legend that Lincoln was a god-fearing conservative. Well maybe he was god-fearing?
Conservative however - hardly....
