Lincoln lovers are a religious cult that can not allow any criticism of their god. They become very angry and bitter any time he is revealed to them in his true light. They are in such denial that they can not see the forrest for the trees and will not accept the truth no matter how plain it may be presented to them. Some people just can't accept that they have been lied to all of their lives. The Truth? Lincoln was a centralist and a big government tax and spend politician in the same mold with todays bureaucratic politicians and we go along with them because we are sheep and too afraid to take any personal responsibility for ourselves. Just as Lincoln intended, we now, for the most part, depend on the government for everything. After swearing to uphold, protect, and defend the Constitution he went on to break almost every aspect of that Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Please do not take my word for it and please try to have the courage to look into it yourself. The truth will set you free and maybe piss you off enough to make a real change in the way we govern ourselves. Neither Republicans or Democrats are the answer...we are!!!
