- "Lincoln's personal triumph, as it turned out, happened
to be the nation's salvation."

- What triumph? What salvation?
-
- It seems to me that Lincoln's suicidal tendencies were
visited on the nation, which committed suicide during his administration.
America certainly descended into a permanent state of internal and external
mass murder, thanks wholly to Lincoln's bloody model of Yankee imperialism.
Until Lincoln, the world had never seen such wholesale and wanton destruction
of life and property. Karl Marx congratulated Lincoln and was influenced
by his ruthlessness in suppressing an independence movement.
-
- Have you never read the Declaration of Independence?
The Southerners did and were completely authorized by it to secede from
the "union." Lincoln was in total violation of that founding
document of whatever it meant to be an American. He nullified the
Declaration of Independence.
-
- I certainly agree that Lincoln's character became America's
destiny, that he guaranteed the rise of Wilson, FDR and the dropping
of two atom bombs on unsuspecting civilians by a little crook from Kansas
City.
-
- Of course, Lincoln and his apologists justified everything
with the hypocritical banner of ending slavery, which Lincoln admitted
repeatedly was not his goal. And were the slaves better off after
the war? Lincoln's wanton slaughter made us all slaves to the War
Department from then on. We still are, aren't we, to this day?
All because of Lincoln's War.
-
- Bush wants to do what Lincoln did: imprison his
anti-war critics. He's already suspended habeas corpus and has his
camps ready and waiting for his American enemies, just like the man you
refer to as "arguably America's greatest president." While
you appear to see through Bush's defective personality, you also appear
bewitched by the man who got 600,000 Americans slaughtered - for what?
For the preservation of his power over the whole United States?
-
- And how has History vindicated Reconstruction?
Whose history - the winners'? Twelve years of military occupation
of the defeated South - roughly the same occupation as Rumsfeld wants in
Iraq, which is definitely not defeated. But it's Lincoln's model
he's following.
-
- And then you call Natan Sharansky a "human rights
activist." I guess you don't count Palestinians as humans.
But Lincoln didn't think his opponents were humans, either. You should
try to put yourself in the place of a Northerner ("Copperhead") who
opposed Lincoln's hateful warmongering.
-
- Abraham Lincoln must be repudiated and denounced as the
curse of the ages, the ultimate monster of American politics. His
self-hate and blood-lust led to all the unspeakable horrors of the
20th Century and to the uranium dust-covered nightmare that now confronts
us.
