N.C. Rep. Larry Pittman, a Concord Republican, said in a Facebook post Wednesday that President Abraham Lincoln was a “tyrant” similar to Germany’s Adolf Hitler.

Pittman was responding to commenters on his campaign Facebook page who were criticizing his bill that would have directed state government to defy a U.S. Supreme Court ruling and restore the state constitution’s ban on same-sex marriage. House Speaker Tim Moore said Wednesday that the bill is dead and won’t get a hearing.

1. Why does Larry Pittman hate America?

[Worktodo]

2. Wow just wow

Pittman’s response: “And if Hitler had won, should the world just get over it? Lincoln was the same sort (of) tyrant, and personally responsible for the deaths of over 800,000 Americans in a war that was unnecessary and unconstitutional.”

So he's not "over" the South losing the war? Was ending slavery "unnecessary"?

3. And I say this even though both sides of my family fought for the South

perhaps Lincoln's only error was Proclamation 179—Granting Full Pardon and Amnesty for the Offense of Treason Against the United States During the Late Civil War December 25, 1868

5. Johnson's​ error? (1868) n/t

4. It's always going to be a tough one for those poor dears to wrap their heads around

The southern strategy left them both hating Lincoln and yet supporting the party he led. I do enjoy watching them running around in little circles not sure which way to spew their hate.

7. This same asshole wants North Carolina to ignore the Supreme Court.

He and a couple others want to have North Carolina to ignore the Supreme Court on gay marriage.
