HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

On February 12, 1937, (72 years ago) one of the three people I love the most was born at Schumpert Hospital in Shreveport, Louisiana. I love you Mommy!

Okay, hearkening back to my pick-up basketball games as a teenager..."Billy!!!...Charging in the paint!!!...I'm calling BS!!!"
200 years ago today, one of the worst Presidents in the history of our nation was born in a log cabin in Kentucky.

Abraham Lincoln was a racist who believed "the negro" to be "inferior to the white." He envisioned an expansion of the United States into "territories" that would be reserved for "free white men." He was a proponent of sending negroes back to Africa, or to Central & South America to "colonize." (which is code for "get these negroes off my land").

Abraham Lincoln killed hundreds of thousands of Americans needlessly. Estimates put the death toll of the US Civil war in the 600,000 range. These estimates only take into account soldiers actually killed on the field of battle. There is no way to count how many civilians died due to Lincoln's unjust, illegal war. I would imagine many more hundreds of thousands of little kids, wives, and Mommas died from lack of a provider...sent off to either wage Lincoln's war, or defend their families from Lincoln.

Abraham Lincoln had no regard for The Constitution. Lincoln was a vain man...a competitor that could not stand for history to remember him as "The President that let the Union dissolve." While there was no provision in the Constitution requiring those States that had voluntarily joined the United States to forever remain...Lincoln decided "Screw it! This Union ain't dissolving on my watch." It was understood by The Framers that this Union was to be a loose federation, with each State free to make it's own laws, and to split if the elected Representatives in State Legislatures felt like splitting.

The subject of State Secession could have been handled through an Amendment to the Constitution. But the murdering Lincoln did not believe in the Constitutional manner of amendments in this case. No...just kill a million folks or so.

Just as an aside, Lincoln believed in jailing his political and philosophical opponents.
Abraham Lincoln set back the progress of mankind by decades. I have no doubt that the "brain-drain," the "labor drain," and the ravages of war on farm-land, westward expansion, and American creativity set back America (and consequently the rest of the world) by decades. I firmly believe that had Lincoln not waged his illegal war, man would have set foot on the moon about 1930.

I also firmly believe that the inefficiency of slavery, the growing movement in the South to abolish slavery, and the greed of land-owners to move to "share-cropping" from slavery would have eventually pushed State Legislatures to outlaw slavery. Call me crazy...but think about it...

Abraham Lincoln exploited slavery to accomplish his goals. Lincoln cared nothing about negro slaves. But when the Union had lost heart, he had to exploit the negroes to convince the Union to keep up the fight. Have you ever read the Emancipation Proclamation? Walter Williams does a much better job of explaining the fact that Lincoln didn't free many slaves...Lincoln was a shyster!

Add to all of that the fact that Lincoln believed in a Federal Banking System...well...

If you haven't figured it out yet, I'm not a fan of Lincoln, and I haven't been for most of my adult life. "History books!!!...Charging in the paint!!!...I'm calling BS!!!"

It is appropriate that BarackO' used Lincoln's Bible at his inauguration, and that he celebrated his pre-inaugural crap in front of the Lincoln Monument. Two peas in a pod...

But BarackO' is more dangerous. I wasn't alive in 1861...but I am now. Two peas in a pod...

Don't bother commenting if you don't agree with me. Just do some research. They've got this fancy new thing called "Google."
