Bush’s puppet dictator in Pakistan, Musharraf, has declared martial law in that country to squelch opposition to his unpopular policies. Incredibly, he quotes Abraham Lincoln in his defense, long known to many southerners as not “honest Abe” but a thug who destroyed the Constitution:

“I would at this time venture to read out an excerpt of President Abraham Lincoln, specially to all my listeners in the United States. As an idealist, Abraham Lincoln had one consuming passion during that time of crisis, and this was to preserve the Union… towards that end, he broke laws, he violated the Constitution, he usurped arbitrary power, he trampled individual liberties. His justification was necessity and explaining his sweeping violation of Constitutional limits he wrote in a letter in 1864, and I quote, ‘My oath to preserve the Constitution imposed on me the duty of preserving by every indispensable means that government, that Nation of which the Constitution was the organic law. Was it possible to lose the Nation and yet preserve the Constitution?’”
How long before an American President once again invokes Lincoln to suspend the Constitution? Do all of you Bush-worshiping people see the danger in too much presidential power? Or do you still think the globalist traitor Bush is “one of us” and therefore it’s okay?
Oh, how much of our current situation could have been avoided if the Beast, the federal murderer of innocents (30 million abortions and counting), had been killed at its birth in 1861…but brave men tried and almost succeeded. We have to respect their foresight now more than ever.
[...] Short of reading DiLorenzo’s books, here is a series in which a friend of this forum discussed the political and moral implications of Lincoln’s rule at length. It’s quite worth the read. Published in: [...]
Any President who would inaugreate civil war upon his or her own people just too keep them under one flag is nothing but a tyrrant & murderer. Lincoln was a self serving pompas ass. He should be forever remembered as a bully & a thug & nothing more. Why we allow our government to control what is nothing more than lies too be taught in our schools just too save face for a benevolant hypocrite is beyond me. The south was right!!!!!!!!!!
Do you now have these same worries about Obama? This is the largest expantion of federal power this nation has ever seen. I would love to hear your thoughts now.
