If you spend much time over on the religion forum, you would have seen this type of stuff from Arthur before.
Arthur McGowan and patriot08 didn’t said anything incorrect — why the attacks instead of facts and counterpoints? (That’s rhetorical, I’m pretty sure I already know the answer).
How does the saying go? Oh yeah, “in a time of universal deceit...”
I hate to shatter any illusion you have of Lincoln’s integrity, but Lincoln was ABSOLUTELY a tyrant and he got what was coming to him. Lincoln destroyed the 10th Amendment and set the precedent that the National (no longer Federal) Government can just ignore the Constitution. He implemented door-to-door seizures of weapons and, whether you agree with it or not, he issued the Emancipation Proclamation in the form of an “Executive Order” (just like something Obama would do).
He also closed newspapers, imprisoned journalists who disagreed with him, and threw opposition mayors, congressmen a city councilman and a circuit court Chief Justice in prison. THESE ARE THINGS THAT EVEN OBAMA HASN’T DARED TO DO (yet).
Sic semper tyrannis!
(Oh, and Henkster, I think you mean Article IV, Section 3, Clause 1)
Ah ok. Some folks aren’t country slow they are just stupid
In reference to my comment in post 51, I apologize for it. It has bothered me since I posted it this afternoon. I should have stuck to the issues on this thread and not take a cheap shot by bringing up our other disagreements.
