Abraham Lincoln: An American Tyrant

President Lincoln, who is considered by most historians (or at least the politically correct ones) to be the best and certainly the most important U.S. President, wielded power in a fashion never seen before nor since. The fact that he died as a martyr is why history has viewed him in such a kind albeit sanitized light.

During the Civil War, Lincoln continuously circumvented the law and in many cases suspended the Constitution altogether. In doing so, Lincoln denied the rights of citizens he was sworn to protect. He suspended the writ of Habeas Corpus, closed courts by force, and arrested citizens and elected officials without cause. Lincoln also raised troops without the consent of Congress, closed-down newspapers whose writers displayed any dissent to U.S. policy.

Lincoln's troops razed the South and doomed to poverty--generations of Southerners for many years to come. General Sherman's "March to the Sea" was nothing more than a marauding rampage filled with robbery, rape, and murder. These men were less soldiers on a military mission and more common thugs on a crime spree. Northern armies brought war to women, children, and privately held property as a matter of official policy (rather than as so-called "collateral damage").

The beloved prez abe, was a doom for the america founded by men wanting freedom. He destroyed states rights in favor of the centralized all powerful control of the masses from DC.

He was also a racist and Barack Obama admires him...quite obvious this whole performance is just an act to get mindless americans drooling and chanting obama like parrots.I want to see what obama has in store for the world,its not going to be what people thought anyway...

Obamassiahs point my be to completely centralize eveything through the fed's. Something Lincoln could not do completely.

His obsession with Lincoln continues to worry me
