He's right. The Lincoln worship in this country is really funny to
watch and is based almost purely on mythology rather than facts.

Right. Emancipating the slaves was all a collective hallucination.


Lamb said Lincoln sent armies into Virginia to lay waste to the
countryside.

He's right. The Confederate states legally and peacefully seceded
from the Union, and Lincoln sent in the Army to bring them back into
the Union. This included the mass murder of civilians, burning of
towns and cities, and the waging of "total war" that had rarely been
seen before.

A state cannot legally secede. Texas v. White (1869) verified this.


David Early of the federal Lincoln commission says 10 states have
established commissions either by statute or executive order to
celebrate Lincoln's 200th birthday on February 12th, 2009. He says
state commissions make it easier to coordinate and plan, but are not
necessary for participation in the observance.

Of course not. Since Lincoln absolutely destroyed the concept of
States Rights and put all government power in the hands of the feds,
there's really no need for the states to do anything these days.

"States' Rights" is code for Jim Crow. Nice of you to show your true
colors. IMO racist jews are the worst of all racists. You probably would
have argued in support of the Final Solution.
