The reason so many of the Yankee ass-kissers come on these threads is that they don't have the mental capacity to think for themselves, and have sold their souls to the tyranny of Political Correctness. I am proud to be Politically Incorrect, and a proud Copperhead.

Think whoever did this will be charged with a hate crime?
To: shuckmaster
Just follow the trail of beer cans, cigarette butts and moon pie wrappers to the local trailer park. Case solved.

"...Taft..depicts Lincoln as he looked as a young circuit-riding lawyer." Sounds like Lorado Taft did up the great 'white supremist' in bronze.

"...proud Copperhead"
Copperhead dittos from SC.

Hateful? Yeah, I should just love this man for pretending to be for ending slavery, all the while refusing to free slaves in the north....even overturning military orders of commanders to do so. Yeah, I should feel great about him having the newspapers shut down. Yeah, I just feel fine and dandy about him arresting anyone he pleased for anything. Yeah, I should be pleased he made "freed" slaves work for the Union army at the Mississippi River. I am sorry, if these things are worthy of praise, there is something wrong with you.

So then what's your opinion regarding Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush??? You think they are traitors, too??
Lincoln made tough choices during a terrible time and we are ONE country now (except for those that would want it otherwise). . .
To: rwfromkansas
Excuse me, not traitors. Make that bastards. Do you think that Reagan and Bush are bastards also????
To: MeeknMing
Excuse me, not traitors. Make that bastards. Do you think that Reagan and Bush are bastards also????As a third-party observer of this exchange, may I say that the average person would have no idea of what the hell you are talking about? You have not sufficiently drawn an analogy between the civil-liberties-suspending proclivities of one of history's most notable bipolars, and the actions of Reagan and Dub.

GW is holding non-citizens in indefinite detention without charges, not Americans. He has not lied. He has not shown himself to be a hypocrite. He has not started shutting down newspapers. Again, he has not arrested American citizens just to arrest them; charges are being filed against those who are actually citizens. He has not forced people to work for slave labor. Explain to me how there is a correlation at all, as Lincoln did all these evil things.

Dear sir: That snake on the flag you wave is not a copperhead but a rattlesnake, indigenous only to the United States. The flag was flown on the first battleship of the continental congress as the Marine Corps flag. I presently fly a 3' x 5' version of that flag on my truck. OBL will feel the fangs none all too soon.
To: MeeknMing
Lincoln made tough choices during a terrible time and we are ONE country nowOh, well that makes it alright then. He walked all over the Constitution and (could you please refresh my memory on this?) for what again? So he could have one little union and not go down in history as the POTUS that lost 1/3 of the nation because constitutionally they had the right to do so?
To: breakem
sour grapes, in the immortal words of W, time to move on.What so we can just blindly push forward into the future without learning from the past? I think a few more people who call themselves 'conservatives' should start looking at the historical fact instead of the propaganda machine from the north and see this mad man for what he actually was. A petty vindictive tantrum throwing whiner who didn't agree with one part of the nation over taxation, and instead of following in the footsteps of great men like Jefferson(who wished Massachusetts goodwill when they considered seceding in 1803), and trounced over the Constitution less than 90 years after it was written. And for what I ask you? Money!!
To: MeeknMing
Do you think that Reagan and Bush are bastards also????The truth can be harsh sometimes.
To: breakem
Neither "sour grapes" nor "time to move on" is original to Bush, and neither is particularly immortal. Cliched, perhaps, but not immortal.
