You probably want to know my assessment of the country’s 16th President, as tomorrow is his 200th Birthday. I’ll answer by quoting my favorite source, myself.
Almost five years ago today, I wrote:
Before we end this rant, it’s also time to flame the Old Reprobate whose birthday we are upon.
This webmaster is sure that the equivocation between Abraham Lincoln and the first name of Adolph Hitler and the surname of V.I. Lenin will invoke a couple of flames, especially from some of you “neo-Confederate” types who delude yourself into thinking that the Southern Confederacy of 1861-65 was purely an egalitarian exercise. You will dutifully tell me about Lincoln’s very “politically incorrect” statements on race, statements that would place him well into the “white supremacist” category today. You will also tell me about his repatriationist rhetoric.
The response to that foolishness is fundamentally the same as the response to the left-wing nutbars that we are devoting this space to slapping around. “By their fruits, ye shall know them.” – Matthew 7:20.
This webmaster’s personal assessment of the 16th President derives from his actions, especially his actions in conducting the enemy side of the War Between The States. Granted, Lincoln’s childhood situation and upbringing leads this webmaster to believe that his “supremacist” attitude was his heartfelt one; you know how that goes, will the real Abe Lincoln please stand up.
Poor white southerners of the era (of which Lincoln was born into) were both fearful of black revelry and hostile to the slave system, which hindered the creation of a bona fide middle class. In the antebellum South, there was virtually no middle ground between “Being To The Plantation Born” and being hard scrabble dirt poor. We believe that Lincoln’s decision to invade Dixie was as much a result of his personal vengeance as it was his doing the bidding for the newly-rising ruling class north of the Mason-Dixon line.
Even at that, don’t take Lincoln out of context. By the time the WBTS was in full swing, Lincoln did develop the bad habit of telling one group of people one thing, and another group of people something totally contradictory. (See also: Kerry, J.F.). Lincoln’s “supremacist”/repatriationist words of the war era can be matched by egalitarian and pro-Lincoln scholars, such as Ray Yitzana, almost word for word, speech for speech, with evidence that Lincoln “really” was an exponent of true-blue equality.
Both Lincolns are right, and both are wrong. The answer to that riddle was that Lincoln was a typical whore politician who would say anything to get anyone to like him. So if Lincoln was a bigot at heart, it was immaterial to the situation. The only difference between then and today is that Lexis-Nexis and the Drudge Report did not exist in the 1860s; if they did then even the most dim-witted public-spirited citizen of either country would have seen Lincoln for the two-timing two-faced cretin that he was.
But still, talk is cheap, cheaper than dirt. The net consequence of Mr. Lincoln’s actions is that military force representing the paradigm of racial equality and the consolidation of power necessary to enforce it, all for the better business interests of the rising industrial ruling class based in the northeastern seaboard, defeated the military force representing the better interests of the southern, agricultural establishment that depended on free labor and free trade to thrive.
In that, we wound up with a Frankenstein U.S. Just-Us Department that runs almost totally unchecked, and can get away with almost anything (locking dentists up in Federal prison hospitals for years without a trial and trying to claim they need to be doped up with nut medication because they need to fry their brains so they can’t call the cowboy Federal law enforcement out for all their terrorism and abuse), and there’s not a damned thing we can do about it, short of hoping that Attorney General John A**croft looks up “hypocrite” in the dictionary and sees his visage next to it; maybe then he’ll repent of his civil transgressions.
We need to tie a noose around the neck of the statue of Abraham Lincoln that is placed in the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., and topple it just as the Romanians did to monuments to Nicolai Ceausescu, and the Russians to Stalin/Lenin, and the Iraqis to the “Mad Ass Shoe Shine Boy” Saddam Hussein – and fundamentally for the same reason, philosophically speaking. Anything less would be an affront to Dr. Sell.
Think we’re engaging in hyperbole when we mention Lincoln in the same breath as Lenin and Stalin? Remember, during the Spanish Civil War, when Marxist nutcases tried to gut Spain of all its traditions and folkways with the veneer of state legitimacy, groups of left-wing and communist-sympathizing Americans went to Spain to fight as mercenaries for the Communist government against the “mutiny” of the legitimate Spanish Army headed by General Francisco Franco. That American mercenary force was called the Abraham Lincoln Brigade.
The only reason there’s a modicum of individual liberty left in this country (and there is, to wit: This website; in most other heretofore white countries, this website would probably be considered illegal “hate speech” as deemed by the Lenin-wing rat finks that run their governments), is because for some reason, our magistrates are adamant about striking down governmental restrictions on what lawyers call “fully protected” expression.
However, liberty and equality are diametrically opposing concepts. Practical experience shows us that the more of one necessarily leads to the less of the other. So after another generation or two of the political consequences of the actions that Mr. Lincoln started and you left-wing detractors of this website endorse, the liberty of thought, conscience and political expression which we can still enjoy at present time will go by the wayside, as if it were a quaint, anachronistic highway-side relic that’s worth glancing at for a few seconds as we traverse down the road to the People’s Paradise.
This also reminds me, Ray Yitzana did not live to see this day.
