[Non-Sequitur]

Your worship of a war criminal and tyrant like dishonest Abe...

That's a bit harsh, isn't it? Tyrants don't gain office through open elections, they achieve office through the work of a small group of men. Kind of like the way Jefferson Davis was appointed president. Tyrants don't retain office by running against opponents in elections, they rig elections so they're the only person on the ballot. Like Jefferson Davis did running unopposed in the fall of 1861. Tyrants aren't constrained by Constitutions and courts, they ignore Constitutions and the court system all together. Like Jefferson Davis did when he refused to staff an entire branch of the confederate government required by law. So I think that if you look closely enough at the facts then you would see that there was someone who fits the description of a tyrant much more completely than did Abe Lincoln.

Didn't JD threaten to have troops fire on a crowd of hungry women?

offhand, i can't think of anyone who fits the lincoln mold, except we willie klintoon. BOTH were tyrants and wished to have absolute personal power & $$$$$$$$$$$$. nothing more,nothing less.

NEITHER can be said to have honor or courage of their convictions, but rather were willing to do ANYTHING to get ahead.
