Abraham Lincoln’s feet of clay: “The Great Emancipator” was a racist tyrant

“My paramount objective in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or destroy slavery.”
- Abraham Lincoln, August 22, 1862, letter to newspaper editor Horace Greeley
In recent news, the Press has begun to pillory Ron Paul over his unconventional views of the US Civil War. It is unknown what they hope to accomplish by spotlighting a 147-year old historical event as a campaign issue; but the inference, since the discussions concern slavery, suggests a subtle attempt to smear Paul as a racist.
Before the socialist tyrant lovers in the mainstream media wax too orgasmic about using Paul’s position against him, it is worth pointing out that his position is the intelligent and informed position. It’s long since past obvious that the MSM is uninterested in reaching an intelligent, informed audience—but I’m not too sure this Lincoln debate is something they really want to dredge up into a national controversy. The odds are much too high that modern-day people may actually learn something new.
Just as there is a War on Drugs and a War on Terrorism ongoing in this country, there is a war without such a catchy name that continues unabated in America. That is the War on Guns. And just as the War on Drugs has spent billions of dollars with quite literally nothing to show for it but growing incidences of violence and the highest incarceration rates in the world; and as the War on Terrorism has cost untold losses of liberty to date; the War on Guns has prohibitive expenses all its own.
“To me, this is the best Christmas present I could ever receive”
I want to propose a solution to what is probably the most important but little discussed problem in Libertarian politics; a method of financing the enforcement of laws without coercive taxation. The basic idea I’m proposing is to use a variation of a Stamp Tax as a user fee system for the civil courts, essentially charging a fee for contract enforcement, and using the revenue generated to finance the enforcement of the Law.
A crusader for justice has come to Colorado. He has traveled around the country fighting discrimination, tirelessly combating prejudice and unfair treatment. Already, his efforts have paid off in Minnesota and the EU is listening to his calls for justice. This man is Steve Horner, and he’s here to end Ladies Night.
Saw on TV today about the 4 Drug Dealers Mexico sent to us which our government demanded. Now as you watch the media and the drug warriors claim victory in a veiled attempt to justify and continue this failed policy, ask yourself these questions.
Mr. Kent Snyder of The Liberty Committee has issued a warning about a proposed “unique health identifier number” to track patients through the health care system. He cites that it has been put into effect in Great Britain, soon will be in Australia, and forces are at work to put one into effect here in the U.S. of A. These forces have been frustrated by Congressman Ron Paul.
It seems that when collectivists run out of other excuses for their anti-freedom agenda, they fall back on calling real limiting of government “unreasonable” or “impractical.” For example, Mona Charen recently opined that doing away with the IRS (as Ron Paul suggests) isn’t a “serious” proposal. The underlying message is clear: dramatic change–in fact, any change that is significant at all–is unreasonable, impractical, and so on, because it would be a dramatic change.
I like how people these days are out of their minds.
