Oh hell, don't stop there. Washington's 10,000 troops versus the Whiskey Rebellion distillers, Hamilton with his treasury bonds, Jefferson with his Louisiana Purchase and the Marines, Jackson wanting to invade South Carolina, Taylor wanting to hang anyone who even mentioned "secession". Fedzilla everywhere! lol
But when I do it's to make the Lost Cause FReepers whine!"
lol
I claim Lincoln STARTED IT. I didn't say it was all Lincoln. Lincoln just set the Precedent. Teddy Roosevelt continued it. Woodrow Wilson went even further. Franklin Deleanor Roosevelt pushed it massively forward. LBJ Killed us with it, Nixon followed thereafter, as did Carter, then we had George HW Bush, Bill Clinton, George W, and now Barack Obama.
All of these people expanded Fedzilla, but Lincoln was the first person to initiate the trend.
I would say When Wilson brought in the international bankers to throw the Federal Reserve System on us, that was the biggest jump-start to Fedzilla. Then there was FDR with his paying farmers not to work, stealing our gold, land grabs, progressive taxation, everything else he did. Then there was Lyndon Johnson with his Great Society. Nixon a little with wage and price controls. Carter and his anti-market rhetoric, Bill Clinton with his land grabs and progressive taxation, then Obama continuing the traditions of the earlier Democrats. There are individual actions that we can point to as contributions to Fedzilla. It's amazing you make your claims and yet you cannot point to a single example to back your claims.
Oh, I can point to examples, but if you can't see them yourself, it is utterly pointless for me to try to persuade you. It's like being unable to see the color "blue". I can't make you see it, and I don't feel like trying. It's not worth my trouble.
Of course it appears entirely outside your field of vision that perhaps Partisan Gunslinger isn't as gullible as you.
The wind blows.
...and diogenes the dimbulb says something stupid. SSDD
I would imagine that from your perspective, everything sounds like gibberish.
Yet you can't point to a single event involving Lincoln or piece of legislation supported by Lincoln as an example.

You've made umpteen posts telling me it's not worth your time. Why not spend just one post giving me an example.
The reason why you won't is you have nothing.
Denial is not just a river in Egypt. I'm really not interested in playing this game with you.
Damn. Is this crap still going on?
Yeah, the "Back Your Claims" game sucks when it can't be done.
I'm sure it does, but I wouldn't know from personal experience. On the other hand, I can tell you all about explaining color to the blind.
What were you saying about "denial"? lol
