Rant of the Week

I missed blogging yesterday... crap!
Today, I've just got one thing on my mind. Abraham Lincoln.

I've been reviewing all the @#$% about him in history.

He:

declared secession illegal

single-handedly increased the size of the federal army (Congress is supposed to do it)

nullified writ of habeas corpus

put newspapers out of business when they didn't agree with him

established supervised voting in Border States- you know, just in case

The army he led:
Burned homes, cities, crops, and killed livestock

Not only is this morally wrong, but it is plain outrageous as well.

1- Soldiers were fighting against their families- brother against brother

2- The South seceded, Lincoln had no governmental authority over them

So, not only did Southerners have to fight for the right to secede, they had to come home and realize that they were virtually penniless. Deprived of labor (okay, that's the one good thing that happened), capital, homes and the means of making a living.

I hate Lincoln. People love him because he was a "martyr for his cause", but really guys? He wasn't an abolitionist. His primary goal was to save the Union. That's why he wanted war.

I'm also sick of hearing bullcrap stuff about how presidents- like Obama and Lincoln- "inherited a national, political mess".

They asked for it!
