For the crazed Left, you and yours are the enemy. I have always thought that Lincoln was never more eloquent than in the above plea to avoid civil war. It is melancholy to reflect that it was given as part of his First Inaugural, just thirty-eight days before the Civil War commenced. Sometimes our better angels are helpless before human folly and hate.
Let us consider what is happening now in the Church and the State to be an unveiling of the truth and the enlightening of our minds as to what is good and what is evil. Thanks be to God.
That is some high quality gas-lighting, there.
The guys who destroy the lives of anyone who says something they dislike, and purge it from being heard, ‘believe’ in freedom of speech?
The ones demanding ever greater violations of black and white settled law ‘cherish’ the ‘rule of law’? The ones who defend riots for OVER A YEAR, and howl for the blood of a teen boy attacked on video by a mob led by a convicted pedophile, cherish ‘the rule of law’? The ones preventing the police from doing anything, then demanding neighboring areas send in cops to help– and being shocked when the neighbors decline when told that THEY would be prevented from actually acting, as well?
Democratic ideals– I’ll grant that, in the sense of ‘their ideal holds only democrats ever win’. Definitely not in the sense of actually wanting every legally valid vote to count.
Facts and reason? Literally pushing a redefinition of science to mean ‘shut up and obey the designated experts,’ while silencing any expert who falls from their graces.
And his side doesn’t think this country is great, so the last sentence doesn’t make any sense.
Pitts trafficking in this nonsense is a sad development. He’s always been a leftist, but his development into the perpetual-clenched-fist variety is unpleasant to see.
@Foxfier – of course it is. the first person leftists always gaslight is themselves.

I despise Lincoln. Worst President ever. The creep tyrant could easily have avoided a civil war, by not starting one. By letting those states that had peacefully and democratically seceded go their own way. Abraham Lincoln is the number one reason why our country is circling the drain today. I want conservatives to stop praising the jerk.
Everything you said about Lincoln is completely false G.Poulin. Best President with the exception of George Washington. Democratically elected in 1860 and 1864. The Secessionists started the Civil War by firing on Fort Sumter. Secession has no legal basis. If it were to occur it would require action by Congress and not by individual state legislatures. Abraham Lincoln has bupkis to do with our contemporary problems. This conservative will praise him unceasingly, as I have done on this blog since its inception in 2008.
You are not particularly well-read.

Best I can tell, he’s never worked as a reporter or editor, just an opinion-monger. His skill is turning in copy on time.
