"President Bush is our Lincoln"
Saw this in freeperville. I also found it here at the Jerry Falwell Ministries page.

*shudder*

"I have chosen to support his President because, for my countrymen, President Bush is our Lincoln. He has freed our people from oppression, slavery and injustice. Therefore, I thought the NAACP would be in favor of our country's actions.

Notice the parallels: Both men chose to defend those who had no rights and very few freedoms. Both men took a highly unpopular stand, regardless of public opinion, in the midst of their first term, not because it was politically expedient, but because it was right. Both men extended the rights of education, equality and the freedom of speech and vote to a people who had lived under oppression for years. In the South, slave owners would whip, maim and kill those slaves who disobeyed them. Saddam Hussein gassed his own people, the Shi'a in the southern part of Iraq.

Neither man initiated any war. President Lincoln did not take action until the provisional Confederate army captured Fort Sumpter, three months after his inauguration. President Bush responded to the war brought to our shores only after the bombing of 9/11, eight months after his inauguration. Both men fully understood that taking such action endangered the chance they had for a second term. Both still acted, because it was the right thing to do.

Before someone objects and says, "Oh, but the Iraq conflict was on foreign soil, thus the point is moot," may I remind you that just two decades ago, the NAACP leaders were calling for American intervention in South Africa to free Nelson Mandela and end the horror of Apartheid. Funny, I do not remember South Africa bombing our towers... "

2. Those disingenuous LYING Confederate (REDACTED)itpiles!
Goddamn their lying souls to HELL!

They HATE Lincoln! The embodiment of Strong Federla Government and Northern Liberalism.

He is THE REASON why the South stayed Democratic for so long, even after the Democrats began supporting African-Americans in their quest for Civil Rights.

5. To Everything Spin, Spin, Spin...
Edited on Fri Jul-16-04 07:37 AM by rpannier
The Iraqi conflict they still Spin, Spin, Spin.
I wonder if they're lying on purpose, or if they're delusional and don't realize what they say is crap.
I wish to add, that after the Pearl Harbor Bombing, Germany declared war on the United States.
We Thank that Loser for playing.

6. Barf!
They need to realize that lincoln, whatever party he was affiliated with, was a liberal. LIBERAL! If he had been a conservative, he would have conserved the status quo of slavery. Plus Lincoln pulled himself up from a three wall cabin, Bush had everything handed to him and still almost screwed it up.

8. When Hitler was grabbing more power or more "flexability"........
Edited on Fri Jul-16-04 08:00 AM by Hubert Flottz
his handlers did the same things that Bushco is doing here! Hitler and his propaganda outlets made movies and speeches that compared Hitler to every HERO in the history of Germany, to lull the sheep! The GOP is here again, acting out of the Hitler Playbook and yet they whine, about people seeing the striking resemblance of the Nazi PR to the GOP PR!

My dog is more like Abe Lincoln than Bush is!

10. He's Lincoln in reverse.
Lincoln attempted to bring the nation together after it had been torn apart. Thanks to John Wilkes Booth, he never got the chance to see it through.

Bush* is tearing the nation apart.
