Happy Presidents Day.....I wonder how Lincoln would have faired had he served in the day of the internet. During the Civil War, the president implemented several constitutionally questionable measures to preserve the Union. Most dramatically, he suspended the writ of habeas corpus on eight occasions, thus empowering military commanders to imprison thousands of civilians without any recourse to the courts. Moreover, some 300 allegedly disloyal newspapers were shut down, at least temporarily, by military and civilian authorities, and mobs often attacked anti-administration presses for what was considered their disloyal expression. rense.com

For many decades we had two parties striving for "bi-partisanship" and shit like the "collegial atmosphere" in the Senate. The result is an over-sized, intrusive government confiscating far more private property than it needs, and trading it for votes to keep their "political careers" alive. There's a new civil war in America, and the anti-American left is losing. Thank GOD for "polarization"!!! Let's have MORE of it...
