Screw Lincoln Anyway!
From HERE:
http://billstclair.com/blog/the_american_lenin_2008.html
"L. Neil Smith wrote long ago how to tell a libertarian from a conservative. Ask their opinion of Abraham Lincoln. The conservative thinks he was God incarnate. The libertarian thinks he was a ruthless tyrant, and John Wilkes Booth's only mistake was waiting too long."
and
"The troubling truth is that, more than anybody else's, Abraham Lincoln's career resembles and foreshadows that of V.I. Lenin, who, with somewhat better technology at his disposal, slaughtered millions of innocents -- rather than mere hundreds of thousands -- to enforce an impossibly stupid idea which, in the end, like forced association, was proven by history to be a resounding failure. Abraham Lincoln was America's Lenin, and when America has finally absorbed that painful but illuminating truth, it will finally have begun to recover from the War between the States."
I'll add this: both Roosevelts and Wilson shoulda been drowned at birth. I'd also say every single president since FDR was a traitor to the ideals that made this country great. I'd say more likely since Teddy Roosevelt, but I must confess to some historical ignorance. I simply don't know enough about Taft, Harding, Coolidge or Hoover to say that with any honesty.
On my day off Monday, I'll have to remember whizz on a penny or two.
