We frequently read today about war crimes, such as bombing hospitals. In World War II Britain bombed civilians in Dresden and dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. In war, we are told, “anything goes.” Abraham Lincoln followed this barbaric policy, and those who treat him as a “hero” have much to answer for.
Excellent piece. Alas, "conservatives" of the Republican type praise him as saint/hero/prophet etc and etc, thanks largely to the Claremont Institute bellowing the repellent gnosticism of cultist in chief Harry Jaffa and the Claremont Institute. Plus neocon warmongering clowns like Glenn Reynolds or Dan Crenshaw, for whom everything is party-politicking, Dems R the Real Racists. Yes, end the cult of Lincoln and his party, not to mention the monstrous leviathan he created. As the son of Southern soldiers who fought for General Lee, I spit on Lincoln, his generals and their mercenaries.
