It is impossible to convince faux conservatives that deify Lincoln that Obama is following the same mold as Lincoln. The current tyranny of the federal government traces back to the abandonment of our Constitution by Lincoln.

I too regard Lincoln's actions as the initial beginnings of the Federal Leviathan superstate. Most people want to cite Woodrow Wilson as the first Massive government progressive, but it honestly started with Lincoln, and then went through Teddy Roosevelt before it got to Woodrow Wilson.

Lincoln was the fork in the road where we started Separating from Federalism and Originalism.
