Why is it that every one of these articles quotes Abraham Lincoln as if was some sort of hero.
He is not in the league of the founding fathers, if anything, much of what is wrong with this country today can be traced back to Lincoln, such as the idea that the “national will” should reign triumphant over the objections of those who oppose it. Lincoln violated so many principles that this country holds dear, and yet, people in all but about 10 states view him as some sort of hero, and paragon of America. I think the founding fathers turned over in their graves when they saw Lincoln’s actions in office.
When the first sentence in an article contains a glaring error of grammar, it’s hard to read more of it with anything but cynicism and sure enough, this is a piece of schlock.
How embarrassing to fawn over such pedestrian gaggery.
Maybe it’s because the Union was not ultimately divided, though some dared to try.
