Republican Party…The Party of Lincoln?
If you haven’t read The Real Lincoln by Thomas Dilorenzo or done real investigation you do not know the truth about what Abe Lincoln actually did to accomplish his goals.
Now that the truth is out about his Dictatorship: his actions to crush all opposition; his imprisonment of dissenters including legislators, newsmen, leaders of all sorts; his disdain for blacks & desire to ship them back to Africa (the war was not about slavery but about expanding the union and taxes to subsidize the north) ; his unfairly heavy-handed taxation on the South; his ruthless policies of wiping out not only soldiers, but women, children, old folks (white & black) and of destroying their property and their ability to grow their food. He sent Grant, Sherman & Sheridan to rape, murder, rob, burn crops, kill livestock and otherwise devastate the South. They were so successful in this horrific endeavor it literally took the South at least 100 yrs to recover from their genocidal actions. It is important to note that since the South’s finest young men were killed, there were none of their ancestors to carry forth their fire for liberty. Lincoln made war on his own people who had every constitutional right to secede from an oppressive central government.
After the war Lincoln sent Sheridan & Sherman west to execute another genocide, this time on the American Indians. Again, these ghastly ghouls were successful. Again, “man’s inhumanity to man†(Robert Burns, 1784) is painted vividly on the canvas of history.
To the victor go the spoils and the ability to propagandize history, and that has successfully been accomplished.
Such is the Republican Party of today. Loudly pontificating on subjects of patriotism and religion…a Kabuki Dance, if you will, in order to placate and entertain their followers. Posing as the defenders of freedom against “maniacal†middle-easterners…yet, they have not secured our borders or deported significant numbers of invaders of any stripe. Making war makes lots of money for some folks and protects certain special interests, foreign and domestic. The neoconservative’s Icon Leo Strauss advocated “eternal war for eternal peaceâ€, i.e. war forever. What a horrific oxymoron and only morons/madmen would advocate it.
Notice the sudden return of George Bush, the main reason we are saddled with the likes of Obama. Hopefully that will be a tactical mistake by the neoconservative Republicans who are poised for a return to power. Neo-conservatism has been defined by so many and myriads of times…if anyone still doesn’t understand please go to arkansasfreedom.net to the Neocon category or research the writings of Ron Paul, Pat Buchanan, Paul Craig Roberts, et al.
Lincoln wanted national hegemony, the Neocons want global hegemony. Lincoln suspended Habeus Corpus and Posse Comitatus…so did Bush and the Neocons. Lincoln engaged in genocide…so are the Neocons in the Balkans and the Mid-East (not to mention our own troops), with the Lib/Communists along for the ride with their own twisted agenda. Lincoln’s cruelty and callous disregard for individual lives & rights are being repeated by the Neocons. Lincoln gave no quarter…the Neocons sanction torture, rendition and other uncivilized, unspeakable acts….sneering & smearing outraged dissenters.
Lincoln was eloquent and spoke many high sounding words…the Neocons preach religion and patriotism…both disguising their true, dark agendas. Lincoln striped dissidents of their citizenship and freedoms…the neocons and now Obama have instigated executive orders which authorize the president to have any person executed whom the president deems a “terrorist†or danger to the government.
Lincoln had his conscripts, mercenaries, indentured servants & prisoners, etc….the Neocons have their duped patriots & dregs looking for a living off the system, serving as cannon fodder. Lincoln eventually justified his actions with a rallying cry for the ending of “Slaveryâ€â€¦the Neocons have their contrived, convoluted, unconscionable, bloody “War on Terror†as their justification.
Many of the newspapers and publications of Lincoln’s day tried to tell the true facts and were punished severely for it….burned out, destroyed, imprisoned. Virtually all mainstream media today are controlled by spin & puppet masters, most of which desire global tyranny in some form over the masses and destruction of Western civilization…which of course means the end of the middleclass, of innovation, of property rights, and all other individual rights, freedoms and responsibilities.
Lincoln set the stage for dictatorship in the United StateS of America (states, not state) by defying our Founding Documents….subsequent presidents did little to stop that wave, in fact most facilitated the annihilation of those principles to the best of their abilities. Bush, who stated that our Constitution was “just a G-D scrap of paperâ€, activated a pre-planned, undeclared, unconstitutional war on Iraq and Afghanistan, based on lies and deception. Interesting that he did not attack the country of the officially alleged terrorists who supposedly caused 9/11…Saudi Arabia. Why? And why does Obama continue in Bush’s bloody footsteps? Answer: Qui Bono (who benefits)?. The military/industrial complex, Israel, and the U.S. government/academia/media’s goal of a police state/tyranny.
Who or what stands in the way of the “Neoconservative†Republicans or the Cultural Marxist/Communist/Democrats? At the moment it appears to be the Tea Party movement of true patriots who are in a struggle for their very existence, culture, heritage, rule of law and Founding Documents.
The Lincolnesque Republicans are struggling to coopt and control the Tea Party…the Marxist Democrats are struggling to smear, intimidate, silence, and wipe it out. Both are salivating, fearful, anxious, mentally dysfunctional and extremely dangerous…and ironically the Republicans still call themselves the party of Lincoln. Do they know how true that is?
The Neocon, Rino, Republicans are already vacillating and reneging. For instance, first they were going to permanently ban earmarks, then some decided earmarks were valuable, e.g. Inhofe & McConnell, then they decided they wouldn’t ban them for more than 2 years (in time for 2012 elections). Thanks guys for a perfect example. The only things we need from them is to defund and repeal all unconstitutional laws, acts, programs, agencies, treaties, agreements, et al.
Now they are trotting out old Neos, some to run for president, e.g. Newty, Romney, Huckabee, Barbour, Giuliani, Rick Perry, Jeb Bush, Thune, Cornyn. Palin may not be “oldâ€, but still a diehard neocon.
Hopefully the Tea Party can resist and reject both parties. Time is short and will soon tell.
