Free Republic

I didn't find the animations distracting at all. What a specious criticism.
Bibs, I read your article with interest. Thanks for your hard work in writing and posting your analysis of the Liar-in-Chief's speech.
I love lie-by-lie dissection!

I thank you kindly, Ma'am.

People have taken their time to look at your blog and give a honest critique. Don’t blow them off. I wasn't blowing them off, it was playful humour.

Boy, the 2000s have really spoiled you and Lurker, you’ve forgotten how cool gifs are.

I don’t believe for a second that “The Matrix” background is legitimately too distracting to read the Weblog.

Due to the html nature of this particular Weblog, and my ignorance as to what all html is allowed on Free Republic and my overall tiredness as I stayed up all night writing it, I am going to ask that you read the Weblog from the source rather than on here.

Praise Be To YHWH And HIS SON YAHUSHUA MESSIAH OF NATZRAT, And May HE Bless these United States Of America!

Sincerely,

These Civil War threads have grown old so I will say this and nothing else:

Who started a Civil War thread?

There were numerous reasons for Southern secession,

Care to list them?

but the reason the war started was Lincoln’s invasion of Virginia.

Lincoln was already in Virginia, how could he have invaded? Please, with evidence show me how Abraham Lincoln invaded Virginia!

Lincoln started the war, and Lincoln republicans are all over the place today. We call them Rhinos.

Please, with evidence prove that Lincoln started the war! Also, please provide examples of “Lincoln Republicans“ that are actually RINOS and why they are “Lincoln Republicans“!

there is nothing wrong with what Lincoln King George III did, which was to try and keep the Union Colonies united! I would have done just about the same if I was in his same position!

The differences between Abraham Lincoln and King George III are to the point that if you even compare the two synonymously, not only does it significantly diminish the appearance of King George III in terms of overall tyranny, but it is incomprehensible why any like-minded individual would make such a comparison!

Furthermore, you are also putting synonymous the Declaration of Independence by the Representatives of the United States Of America, with the secession by Democratic rebels in the U.S.A.!

To cement my point, I challenge you to do this:
--- I will list here the reasons the Representatives of the U.S.A. gave in their Declaration of Independence, to declare their independence from Great-Britain and King George III.
--- You are to point out through proof/evidence and examples the exact acts Abraham Lincoln has in common with King George III when Abraham Lincoln was President of the U.S.A. and when the U.S. were Colonies of Great-Britain, respectively.
--- If examples cannot be brought, then your statement is proven false!


...The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.

He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.

He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.

He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.

He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected, whereby the Legislative Powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.

He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.

He has obstructed the Administration of Justice by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.

He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.

He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.

He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power.

He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:

For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:

For protecting them, by a mock Trial from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:

For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:

For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:

For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Trial by Jury:

For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:

For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies

For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:

For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.

He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.

He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.

He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & Perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.

He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.

He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.

In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends...

You were surprised??

For the most part.

So, after a year of leave, you decide to wade back into FR and gin up the debate about Lincoln?

Not exactly.

What I wrote was actually intended to point out the subterfuge used by moderate Republicans. I was for the most part caught by surprised when people started to debate the policies and actions that Abraham Lincoln stood for.

A republic held together at the point of a gun isn't much of a republic.

Then are you arguing that Abraham Lincoln should have allowed the rebellion to form and maintain the Confederacy?

There was never any statue that allowed secession, it was then a choice of Union or Disunion; Lincoln fought to preserve the Union!

Secession is not an act of war, only a fascist war pig and statist piece of crap jerkface would think that way. Not that you would think like that :)

Secession might not be an act of war, but it was never legalized to the best of my knowledge; there is nothing wrong with what Lincoln did, which was to try and keep the Union united! I would have done just about the same if I was in his same position!

Lincoln Republicans....you mean someone who wants to set aside the Constitution and concentrate power away from the states and to the federal government?

No, I mean someone who fights to preserve this country, this Republic, this Union! Someone who acknowledges our Christian heritage and promotes it! Someone who fights to terminate a terrible sin from the land of this nation!

Everything has gone downhill since Lincoln first took the oath of office......Teddy, Woodrow, Franklin, Lyndon....now Barack. You can’t undo the damage they’ve done to the Republic.........unless.........

you just start over completely, as in.....REVOLUTION !

“Everything“, as you call it, began to go down hill after the Reconstruction period ended and the Democrats regained control of Congress!

Because of the unique form of government the U.S.A. has, I believe we can always undo any damage that might have been done in the past; just as long as we still have that form of government. We still have that form of government!

Irregardless of what you want to think, we still have elections and we still have the U.S. Constitution ruling us, the people of the U.S.A.

What needs to be done is: Constitutionalists need to be elected into office! No more Tea Party candidates, no more moderate Republicans, no more “Reagan Republicans“, etc. We need Constitutionalists, as in people of the Constitution Party! We need a majority rule of Constitutionalists.

When we achieve that, if we achieve that, then the U.S.A. will be restored.

So as long as we have this form of government, we can still restore it. That is something that is so great about this, our fore-fathers built a form of government that can only be defeated when it is no longer officially in power!

Lincoln was a bad president, and the beginning of the end of this Republic.

This Republic has yet to end! However, if the U.S.A. does end, you could actually take it all the way back to Andrew Jackson, the first president from the Democratic Party, and blame it on him!

But, it would be more reasonable to blame it on the person who actually did it.

Other than destroying the republic, states rights and killing 6000,000 in the process, I have no problem with the man.

You certainly have a deceived version of history in your head!

Abraham Lincoln did everything in his might to keep the Union, the Republic, together! And he succeeded!

How is it a state right to be allowed to succeed from the Union?

The Civil War was never about states rights, it was about a rebellion trying to keep slavery!

Lincoln suspended several Constitutional protections during the war.

Would you please elaborate on exactly what Lincoln did and where? I must know what particularly you are talking about before I can reasonably respond.

I see the Southern brand of Republicans have begun to show up.

Who is that?

Sorry, guys, but the majority of Americans do not consider the Tea Party, Fox News, Sarah Palin and Ann Coulter to be insufficiently conservative. Anyone who thinks Americans feel this way is seriously delusional.

I might agree, but I suspect well under 25% of Americans would join me. 1/4 of the population does not win elections.

I never said the majority of Americans do.

I am sure the "Nations" ills would have occurred in the North without Lincoln. An independent South would have been spared the socialism and downward spiral.

The so-called "independent South", as you call it, began as an oppressed country already in a downward spiral.

The Confederacy was created by the same kind of people who regained control in the U.S. after Reconstruction and began ruining the U.S.A.; Democrats!

It is ridiculous to blame any of what happened after Reconstruction on Abraham Lincoln!

This isn’t crying wolf, this is reporting the news. WND ISN’T saying this is Obama II’s birth certificate, they are merely reporting the claim of a man who says it’s Obama II’s birth certificate.

Read the bottom right of the paper, “I, Joshua Simon Oduya, Deputy Registrar of Births, Deaths, and Marriages for the Coast Providence of Kenya, do hereby certify that the above is a true copy of the entry recorded in the Birth Register of this Province, Book 44B , Page 5733 . Given under my Hand and Seal of Office this 17th day of February, 1964”

Apparently someone requested the copy in 1964.
