Anyone who believes Lincoln is the equivalent of Teddy Kennedy is not merely woefully ignorant of history but severely delusional and probably incapable of making proper judgments regarding any matter.

So far I can't point to any of your posts to make me question that last phrase.

Oh, I'm sorry, Lincoln was a states' rights kind of guy, wasn't he?< /sarcasm>

Let's see, big government making the decision for all of us who are apparently are too ignorant to make decisions for ourselves (Unionist, starting a war against his own countrymen without Congressional approval), spending federal government money in the way 'they' see fit no matter if it's Constitutional or not (that nasty $2,000,000 taken from the US Treasury to fund his 'volunteers' and buying of naval ships), taking the power away from the people and firmly setting it in the hands of the national STATE(the end gain of his War of Tyranny), and spending federal money on public education(done only once before Lincoln and that was the Northwest Ordinance and meant only for one area under the old Articles).

No I think you misunderstood me. I did not mean that any Kennedy(or any politician in the past 40 years) could level up to the acts of tyranny instituted under Emperor Lincoln. I was just saying we could have a day set aside to honor the men that did the most to take us away from the idea of a Federal Republic for any given year

Anyone that does not see the tyrannical acts of Lincoln IMO is too blind in worship of the man to see what he did to this country and is not merely delusional but probably needs to seek immediate help
